Sleepers

What guys do you think will be sleepers this year? Some guys I like are:

Carson Palmer
Reggie Bush
Anthony Gonzalez
Chris Henry (CIN)
Chaz Schilens (A lot of pre-season hype)

I like ur list bbb, sans for Reggie Bush, I just don't think hes ever going to be a top fantasy player, but hey i could be wrong. ANother guy to look at is Lee Evans from Buffalo, b/c if teams put to much attention on TO in Bufalo this guy could have a huge year.

Percy Harvin. He just looks like a play maker and you probably could snag him in the 7th round. I also like A. Gonzalez, he should see lots of balls thrown his way. Especially with the poor running game Indy is going to have.

I still think Bush goes pretty early just cuz who he is so kinda tough to think of him as a sleeper.

I think Chris Henry could be have a good year. Can't think of a reason why Gonzalez wont have a solid year.

Don't know if Palmer or Bush can be considered sleepers.

Percy Harvin is a good pick especially if Berrian's hamstring becomes an issue.

Others I like:

David Garrard - Jaguars
Mark Clayton - Ravens
Frank Gore - 49ers (not really a 'sleeper' but I think he could have a big year)
Leon Washington - Jets

Looks like Percy's stock just went up.

Favre is my sleeper pick now.

Yeh Favre is a sleeper alright, heard he sleeps through film sessions all the time LOL

Carson Palmer CIN
David Garrard JAX both undervalued IMO

Ray Rice BAL
Donald Brown IND

Chris Henry CIN
Lee Evans BUF
Domenik Hixon NYG
And the real gulper - Troy Williamson JAX!

Now I read Kirwan's article earlier where he says Garrard likes him, it's been documented that he had eye issues. But also he also had a very bad time whilst in Minnesota (Grandmother died - Coach Childress docked him a weeks pay for staying extra with family at the time(!), and his brother was in a coma following a car accident).

Now he is entering his fifth year, has been catching the pigskin in preseason (he could always get open - just dropped the ball a heck of a lot at Minnesota). Remember he was drafted 7th overall in '05, after Moss left. I think a lot was expected of him early, and he had some personal issues within the Vikes organisation, particularly Childress. Now the Jags look to be opening up the playbook a bit and letting DG throw more and I would expect him to be their legitimate deep threat. And there isn't the pressure he had at Minnesota, either.

Depends on your draft formats whether you'd actually want to use a pick but I'd keep a close eye on him.

Sorry, missed one but along the lines of Troy i.e. a late pick/one to keep an eye on IMO

David Clowney NYJ
