2008-2009 Fantasy Football Sleepers

[Candyman5]

So My draft is comming up and my biggest strategy is finding the sleepers and the average players every year. I only got RB, WR and TE so far. Some of the players that I think may be sleepers this year are:

HB
Bradshaw - Giants (Yes I have Bradshaw here, He is given the ball in the redzone the most of any RB in the league last year besides Barber on the Cowboys)
Johnathan Stewart - Panthers (Yes he is a Rookie and yes he is Under Sized but he makes up for that with his Lightning Quick speed. I think as a Backup he will get enough points to keep you in it)
Rishard Mendenhall - Pit (This is probably going to surprise people but Willie Parker will be sharing carries with this Back. I look for him to be a good point back)
Thomas Jones - Jets (With Farve at QB most def will defend the pass more allowing Jones to have space)
Chris Johnson - Titans (White and this guy will be sharing carries but He is another one I have liked, I may keep a eye on him durring the season because most drafts may not even pick him up)
McFadden - Oak (Do not get this guy before the 3rd or 4th round! Yes he is McFadden and yes Adrian was putstanding last year BUT a Adrian Peterson like year is extremely rare. If ya want to pick him I recommend at the earliest the 4th round.)
Kevin Smith - Lions
Barber - Dallas ( I have never seen a back fight for more yards after a hit more than Barber. A redzone give usually means a TD for him)

WR
Anthony Gonzolez - Colts (Payton Manning is known to spread the ball arround)
Nate Berleson - Seatle (Last year Hasselbeck loved throwing to Berleson in the Red Zone)
Ted Jr. Ginn - Miami (Yes it is the dolphins but looking at his numbers last year with a sub par QB he stood out. I am thinking that with Pennington at QB now that this reciever is going to have a break out year)
Ronald Curry - Oakland
Wes Welker - NE (With Tom Brady as a QB and the way this Wide Out played last year there will be no surprise if he get the ball even more than Last Year)

TE
Crumpler - Titans (Vince Young has a big target at TE with Crumpler, The only concern is if Young cant get him the ball. Preseason he has over threw many recievers and looks terrible, lets hope that is Preseason Gitters)
Utecht - Bengals
Keller - Jets (With Farve as a QB I would go with this guy, Farve has shown to love his TE in the past in the Red Zone)
Scheffler - Den
LJ Smith - Eagles (With Kevin Curtis Injured there will be alot more pressure on LJ to get it done. It wouldn't surprise me if his receptions are high this season)

This is My Sleeper List. It is still in progress but I like it so far. If ya have anyone you would like to add or have a debate with me on a Player I chose, Post away.

I agree for the most part but Barber and Welker are not sleepers IMO, everybody already knows they're good.

Yeah I know, I just wanted them up there.

Bumping this up, My draft is coming up tonight at 9pm.

Not bad but way too many rookie RB's, IMO.

Yeah I am taking a chance on Rookies this year but I like these rookies, dunno why, just a feeling. Anyone have any other running backs they may suggest?

I got Ernest Graham in the 6th round of my draft, which is pretty good for a starting running back that will get goal line touches.
