Fantasy Advisor - Sleepers

Every year seemingly from out of nowhere players come to the forefront in the NFL. Some have only a moment to show while others take the opportunity and never look back. Being ahead of this curve provides you with late round sleepers and the potential to scoop league mates. We fantasy geeks get so amped [...]

Randall Cobb became a hot name in the fantasy world week 1 of 2011. His college career began as a QB. He made the switch to WR/wildcat QB his sophomore season. Cobb’s unique versatility will cause many defenses to have matchup problems.  In 2011 the Packers were 14th in passing attempts. An incredible stat that [...]

After his disappointing year in 2011, Josh Freeman is off the radar of most fantasy owners. After all, nothing influences fantasy owners more than stats and rightfully so. But, the owner who consistently wins his or her league is the one who knows which stats were an aberration and which will stay the same. I [...]

There is no position more “offensive scheme dependent” than that  of wide receiver. If a team doesn’t pass the ball much (or effectively), then no matter how talented the player his fantasy value plummets. An average WR on a high powered offense is usually better than a good WR on an anemic offense.Which is why [...]

I have never been a big Nate Washington fan, but there is a real mystery in fresh drafts thus far when it comes to the Tennessee WR. Talk about a player flying under the radar….he isn’t even a blip. I would bet very, very few fantasy owners outside of Nashville would have a clear idea [...]

When the Washington Redskins moved up in the 2012 draft to select QB Robert Griffin III, most immediately speculated that the benefactor to the RG3 pick was going to be Pierre Garcon. We cannot overlook, however, starting TE Fred Davis. Davis’s current ADP is 87.8, which makes him the 3rd pick in RD 7 of [...]

A running back truly flying under the radar so far this year is Isaac Redman and many a fantasy owner will be kicking themselves after week 1 this season. I am not exactly sure why Redman is getting no respect in redraft league drafts, but please don’t fall in line with this terrible example of [...]

I could just as easily show a picture of this sleeper with a wanted poster or a jail house mug shot. But since Jerome Simpson tried to become the Southern Ohio-Northern Kentucky Kingpin of drugs last year and become the NFL version of Scarface, I thought this one was more appropriate. Let’s alter the tag [...]

One of the keys to a successful draft is choosing which position to wait on taking. This year, you may want to make that position TE. After Graham and Gronkowski, the TE position levels off and you may be better served by grabbing WR2 or even WR3 or RB2 before you take a TE1. If [...]

I heard Norv Turner talk today about Robert Meachem. I know all about coach speak and realize that he needs to be taken with the proverbial “grain of salt,” but Turner is at least saying all the right things to make Robert Meachem a sleeper candidate. Turner is sky high on Meachem and plans to [...]
