Fantasy Sleepers this season

[Dawg]

Just drop one of my kickers to pick up matt jones, i was looking back at washington's 2015 draft and they drafted a bunch of offensive lineman, like the cowgirls did a couple of years ago and im assuming they're in the works on building a oline like dallas line, but here's what made me really pick up jones. Its Alfred morris 4th year and next year will be his last year of his contract, i don't think Washington will signed him back and then they can just drop jones in that position! !!!! JMO!!!!

Oh yeah i forgot one more reason i pick up matt jones. BILL CALLAHAN the guy that molded the cowgirls oline!!!!

Hope your right, because I have Matt Jones on my dynasty league on SportsHoopla.

Joe took the words out of my mouth.

.....but I do love Brandon Coleman!

I was looking into Chris Matthews but he hurt his shoulder last night. Not sure of the damage.

As much as Ameer is flying up the boards, and as much as I don't want to trust his multiple surgeries, Joique Bell could be useful...hope he keeps plummeting.

I think Stevie Johnson could be the Chargers #2.

As for TE... if you don't take Gronk or Graham, I advise to WAIT. Sure Kelce might be great (still the Chiefs passing game), sure Olsen gets volume (more than six TD once), but I think getting any others ten rounds later is monster value. And a handful could easily be the 3rd best TE.

Hate to tell you a guy named Willie Snead i outplaying him so far in team scrimmages and the first pre-season game. He'll have to rely on Colston, Cooks, or Snead to miss time.

Oh i forgot about Ameer Abdullah, he's going to be a beast!!!!

If the lions use him right, which I don't think they will. They've been doing the RBBC for a while now why stop it now?

What makes you think they won't use him right? Bush was the speedy back and they used him right. Except for when he was hurt, he was used right and produced. Unfortunately he couldn't stay healthy his entire time here.

There's about 27 teams that use RBBC, so much so, that that term is barely used anymore.

I agree!!!!!

Abdullah isn't Bush or Spiller, he's not a one trick pony who can only operate in space or on the outside. .. using him right is simply giving him the ball. .they can do that

Maybe the view on how teams use multiple backs is based on the fact that there are very few backs that can handle the punishment and durability as a 3-down bellcow.

I feel that many coaches still want a bellcow back, and that's their ideal of the way to go. And despite the accolades some backs have coming out of college, the NFL has a way of revealing limitations.

I still remember when Houston passed on Reggie Bush in 2006. Everyone thought they were nuts. Some may see Bush as an above average fantasy back. But he never was a bellcow back.

And to TKO's point, not many teams have found a bellcow back - so carries get split. Or the backs have "specific" roles on the team.

Abdullah could be the bellcow back. We'll have to wait and see.

I kind of like Abdullah chances, may not work out, but I was ready to draft him pretty high.

Bell did not get as involved either. If Abdullah's going to be used like Reggie was(catching passes) then Bell needs to move out of the way completely. Also without the TDs Reggie's numbers look bad. I don't really like Detroit.

Reggie had his best season as a bellcow back in Miami in 2011. He's just not strong enough to always stay healthy. That was better than anything he did in NO. I remember getting him on my fantasy team in 2011 after the giants game and watched him deliver for me nearly every week. He also did well late 2012. He was dealing with some injuries around week 3 and Miller started to get involved and Reggie didn't look as good. He was banged up in a game where he could have destroyed Arizona's defense if healthy as they were bad against the run then. He didn't even get the full carries. Once Miller went back to a lesser role, Reggie tore it up week 12 on. I feel the truth must be said. Reggie was a fumbling machine with the saints he cost us as many games as he won them. The superdome special for instance will always be his most infamous blunder. He was not going to be the every down back in NO and because of that, he showed his inconsistency. When Hyde gets hurt, because chances are he will, watch and see what Reggie does in SF with full carries.

Hunter will take over if Hyde gets hurt IMO, most likely get his shares of snaps regardless.

Per rotoworld,
Brandon Coleman ran with the first team offense in three WR sets at Saturday's practice. Noting he has likely passed Nick Toon.

 

[Brees#1]

Payton is having open competitions for a lot of spots. Its a unorthodox saints offseason.

 

[Brees#1]

well, pre-season/training camp

 

[Chef99]

Those are my thoughts/ notes what other sleepers you guys got?

Lorenzo Taliaferro. I have even made an effort to spell his name correctly.

 

[night]

Kevin White is out for the season.

Is there any chance he comes back late in the season? I heard about him having surgery but the article wasn't concrete about him missing the whole season.

I think some people are saying he might come back after six weeks, but most sources have it as a season ender.

I'm always a year early on guys. I had Rice and Taliaferro on most of my teams last year so I could get Kubiak's back. Doh!
