Who ya got?

JSpauny · 08-01-2012, 05:59 PM

I'm not going to give up my secrets.

Having said that, I think Jacquizz, Doug Martin, David Wilson, and Ryan Williams will all finish the season as the best back on their team in terms of fantasy.

I got more, but I can't give everything away since it seems like a BTB fantasy league will be forming.

Not neccesarily a sleeper but I think aj green could have a huge year.

ChiefZilla · 08-02-2012, 09:59 AM

Actually, spauny, I posted this thread and then noticed SRE's and quickly realized this one wouldn't get much traction. But I'm happy (or disappointed?) to see that all the running backs I had in mind as late auction value picks are on your list as well. I have a feeling Doug Martin will be like $30 or $40 by the time my late-August draft rolls around.

JSpauny · 08-02-2012, 10:23 AM

Yea Martin might be the bonfide starter by the time camp breaks which will absolutely skyrocket his price considering he's going to be in a run-first offense according to all reports.

I'm thinking the prices on Wilson and Williams will be the lowest. Wilson because people still think Bradshaw is a #1 fantasy back and Williams because people will be scared by his injury. But I'll take both.

There's a group of about 10 backs right now that are middle round picks who all have legitimate chances to be top 10-15 backs this year and will be drafted far lower than that. Injuries to big time backs last year combined with almost every team going RBBC means a much bigger chance for the "#2" back to shine. Plus, like I said before, there are a lot of #2 backs who are probably better than their #1 back and are just waiting for the opportunity.

sleeper of the year = doug martin

paperstacks1980 · 08-08-2012, 10:38 AM

My sleeper pick is Isaac Redman because of Mendenhall's injury.

brandonboyle1 · 08-14-2012, 07:05 AM

My big sleeper is benjarvus green ellis. The law firm will be the only back have 1400 yards and 12 td. Looked good against the jets.

Doesn't AZ's atrocious-looking offense scare you at all? I actually like that Skelton's appeared to lock up the starter job. Kolb is a joke. Still, I'm scared of any Cardinal. The price on Williams is like $1 though so it's not like it's a risk. L-Fitz, on the other hand.....

JSpauny · 08-15-2012, 11:46 AM

It scares me a little bit on Williams. However, i think ari has a decent enough oline and hes probably going to get 15+ carries a game.

On Fitz it scares me immensly. Hes probably the 2nd best wr in the league but no way would i draft him even close to that. I wont own him on any teams this year unless he slips several rounds.

Peyton Hillis? He should be a lot better than last year.

It will be tough for him to be any worse than last year. Frustrated

David Wilson as a few have said above.

Also, GB WR's Randall Cobb and Tori Gurely, with Cobb having the most upside due to return yardage.

wreckem10 · 08-22-2012, 01:44 PM

Another few guys might be amendola (possible #1 wr in st Louis). Titus young (#2 guy in pass heavy offense). Pettigrew (same as young ). Sleeper qb could be palmer. There not going to be good on defense and there offense should be good. Could be some shootouts in the afc west.

The Posse · 08-22-2012, 01:50 PM

Most of the guys being discussed above I don't consider sleepers. Phillip Tanner, Lamar Miller, and Alfred Morris are solid RB picks for deep leagues. These 3 would go undrafted (most likely) in a 10 team standard league.

SkyBlues42 · 08-27-2012, 09:13 AM

Russell Wilson. Although, his stock has definitely risen over the past two weeks.

illadelphia · 08-27-2012, 10:22 AM

Damaris Johnson (PHL): Averaging 55 receiving yards per game and 24 yards per reception, with one touchdown in 2012 preseason.

Could be a nice option since Maclin & DeSean will see majority of good cover guys and safety help over top.

Is he going to make the team?

Ourlads lists him as the 8th wr on their latest depth chart. Seems like he'll have a hard time getting on the field.

Any word that he's supplanted Avant or Cooper?
