Fantasy Football - Post your sleeper players here

[Clarkmeister]

As a correction to the scoring system posted, sacks are not -2 on offense.

I made a trade in the 2nd round, trading my 3.7 and 5.3 picks for a 2.7 and 6.7.

To recap, we start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1RB/WR, 1TE, 1K, 1DEF. We can carry 15 roster spots and use them however we wish.

10 team league. Starting next year we can keep 3 players.

1st rd (7): Shaun Alexander RB Sea
2nd rd (13): Edgerrin James RB Ind
2nd rd (16): Jamal Lewis RB Bal
4th rd (33): Tony Gonzalez TE KC
6th rd (53): Eagles D
6th rd (56): Rod Smith WR Den
7th rd (67): Deuce Staley RB Phi
8th rd (73): Chad Johnson WR Cin
9th rd (87): Steve McNair QB Ten
10th rd (93): Brad Johnson QB TB
11th rd (107): Quincy Morgan WR Cle
12th rd (113): Adam Viniaterri K NE
13th rd (127): Todd Pinkston WR Phi
14th rd (133): Tim Brown WR Oak
15th rd (147): Alge Crumpler TE Atl

WOW. McNair in round #9? You are to be commended for waiting that long...but wow...how'd he last that long? I guess I'm used to 12, 14, and 16 team leagues, where he'll go earlier (i.e 90th pick moves from 9th round to 7th round).

The only guy I'm leery of is Rod Smith. He's old, isn't huge, and isn't that fast anymore. With a healthy Mcafferey and Lelie coming on strong, as well as a stud in Portis, I'm not convinced he's a top WR anymore. I think that he and Chad Johnson are about comprable, and it's awesome that you got CJ as late as you did (Did I list CJ as a sleeper? I don't remember....).

Good luck. Here's hoping Edge stays healthy and Shaun gets his nominal 17 TDs this year for you.

I like the draft. I'd kill if I could get McNair in the 9th round. If the two second season post-op knees hold up you will be golden. I like Morgan where you got him although the Browns have a lot of receiver talent he is the best.

I'm picking 8th in my main league (12 team--no keepers, no defenses--double your yardage points otherwise mostly the same.) Shaun Alexander won't last that long in our draft either.

Good luck with the team.

8th rd (73): Chad Johnson WR Cin

Great pick, Clark. He's one of my sleepers.

Thanks for the bump,

Clark,

I played in a league last year with essentially the same scoring system, and there is quite a flaw in the system. Michael Lewis and Dante Hall each had 2000+ return yards last year (Lewis had 2600+, to my recollection). Lewis and his 15 pts a week was what took me to the championship. Grab either of these as a FA if possible, especially as your crop of receivers are weak.

BTW, decent draft. Alge, McNair, and J. Lewis were all great picks, but I think you overvalued the Eagles D (who lost Hugh Douglas). Duce may or may not pan out as well.

[CrackerZack]

Hugh has gotten old and crappy. I played 6 seasons of madden 2002 with the eagles, by the end of the 2nd Douglas' contract was an albatross with his diminished skills. It's scary how accurate that game can be. The eagles D still has vincent, taylor, dawkins and a solid front core with a healthy corey simon. I wouldn't worry about them.

Edit: to avoid being labelled as bias I must specify I'm from NY and a Giants fan, not an eagles fan.

Also in response to your post, Return yards are huge also but usually hard to predict as Lewis came out of no where last year.

[gonores]

Point taken on Hugh...but I still believe that Defenses are WAY too much of a crapshoot to be picking them in the 5th round. Remember how high Chicago was going last year?

Returners do happen to pop up out of nowhere, but they tend to stick around once they do (reference Brian Mitchell, Alan Rossum, Mel Gray, Deion Sanders). Regardless of how crappy a return guy is, if he is returning all kicks for a team, that means he is going to get about 4-5 KRs a game (even you or I could get 20 yds per kick return) and a handful of punt returns to boot. A healthy kick returner is going to put up 10 pts a week in this system regardless of how good or bad he performs.

The kick yardage points were eliminated like a week ago. Sorry for the confusion. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
