    If you knew anything about the situation you would understand that VJ was brought in to be the #1 WR on that roster eventually. When I talk of sleepers, I talk of guys that you wouldn't expect anything out of... guys that come out of nowhere. Its not bold to predict Billy Volek as a sleeper, everyone knows he will have a chance to shine. Its really not bold to predict Chester Taylor as a sleeper either... he is a fucking 3rd round RB, he isn't going to shock anyone if he is good this year.

    A sleeper is a guy that comes from absolutely nowhere and "arrives" on the fantasy landscape for the first time. Vincent Jackson may be listed on an outdated depth chart that you found as the #4 WR (he is actually the #3 right now), but by seasons end I think he will be the #2 WR across from Keenan McCardell and he will have 50-60 receptions with 5-6 TDs... making him worthy of having on your fantasy team and definitely a sleeper that panned out.

    Also I said he was a sleeper of mine, NOT that he was a good fantasy pick... you know sleepers are guys you can get away with not drafting and watching until they might have a breakout game and then you pick them up off waivers...

    Jeezus... do any of the people on this site actually follow football? Chad Jackson is a rookie WR for New England... David Givens plays for the Titans and is not holding out... therefore he won't effect Chad Jackson's playing time. Deion Branch is holding out for NE.

    QB: Drew Brees: He will be a forgotten man now that he's been banished to New Orleans, but he has some great weapons there.

    WR: Hank Baskett: Undrafted Rookie that I wanted the Jets to draft. I've heard chatter that he may be starting for Philly this year, because he's really impressed in camp and the pre-season. Maybe we worth picking up in the final rounds.

    RB: Deuce McCalister: A nother forgotten man, because of the injury and Reggie Bush hype. Even if Bush pirates carries from him, Deuce will have the ball in the Red Zone.

    Anyway ...

    here are some obvious ones...

    Willie Parker
    Warrick Dunn

    both should now be getting lots of yards AND touchdowns...not just yards

    some good WR's...

    Terry Glenn should have 800-1000 yards and 5-6 TD's
    Donald Driver looks like he's gunna have another huuge year
    agreed about andre
    Eddie Kennison should get 1000 yards and 7-8 TDS
    Ashley Lelie or Michael Jenkins are worth a FA pickup.

    QBs...

    Jake Plummer
    Drew Bledsoe
    Kurt Warner
    Chad Pennington

    that's all for now

    Steve McNair for sure. He's on a better team with a better offensive line and a good core of recievers like Mark Clayton, Todd Heap and Derrick Mason.

    ya, Baltimore is my sleeper team. Love Heap and Mason, like Jamal, like McNair. Love Clayotn on the Bucs, think Coles is going to do MUCH better than where he's drafted - I see 80, 1150, and 5. I mean, where else is Chad gonna go when the going gets tough? I like Antonio Bryant and Frank Gore. Not because I think San Fran is gonna be great, but I think they'll be better than where they are being drafted. I'm keeping eyes on Maroney, DeAngelo and Greg Jones, because if any of them gets in the game, they'll be good.

    as soon as dashaun foster goes down, deangelo will put up LJ type numbers, you almost have to draft both guys if you draft foster, but Williams has mid season sleeper written all over him
