"Its An Outrage"
For some reason my gut is telling me Joe Flacco is going to have a great season, has been very solid and the addition of A.Boldin will make him a FF stud in 2010

Nate Burleson is in for a nice year.

Laurence Maroney still can be had 10th rd plus and I still don't get it.

Vince Young will be a serviceable fantasy QB.

Ive said this for a few years now, but the term sleeper has taken on a different meaning since theres just so much info out there on everyone nowadays.

As far as some guys who I target late who will outperform their draft position, how about Nate Burleson in Detroit and none other than L.T. in New York?

Sleepers: Scheffler Te Det - he is freakish, like a big Wr. With coverage over CJ, and Pettigrew kept in to help block, I see a lot of mid range passes going to Scheffler.

Rb:
Portis. he is healthy, back with Shanny, and with a chip on his shoulder after two years of crud. He has a real Qb now, and some O-line help. I think Portis rebounds big time, and at his mid round level (I have gotten him 7th round or later...) he is well worth the slot.
Fred Jackson Buf - in almost every draft I have done, I have seen Spiller go before Jackson. Big mistake. Even in ppr, I think most carries go to Jackson. Spiller may be Bush lite for ppr...but Jackson will get most carries. For a Rb able to be taken in the 8th round...huge value.

Wr:
Burleson Det - yeah I am detroit heavy, but they will need to pass alot and score with defense still needing help. Calvin will get hugely double teamed...so Burleson may be an early benefactor of that with Scheffler.

Lance Moore - injuries all around him and Brees ahas used him before
Scheffler- for all the reasons mentioned above
Scaife- potential 50 catch 6 TD guy if he can maintain health
Choice- simply the best pure back on the Cowboys. No frill and lot's of heart
Campbell- Great schedule, TE, and no trouble bing a MAJOR improvement at the position.
Ramses Barden- When you have a QB that spreads it around to anyone heathy, the key is health. Barden is big, and hold redzone promise. Nicks, Manningham, and Smith are not a picture of health, and wasn't Boss dinged too?

Donald Brown. I believe the Colts will start the Donald Brown era. Addai is only going to get worse. His 3.8 ypc last year is not great and should allow Brown to easily take over as a starter.

I will agree with others and add here:
L.Moore - folks Meachem keeps getting hurt and Henderson is a one trick pony.
Brandon LaFell - I think by pure luck Carolina finally has a solid option opposit Steve Smith.

I will really go out on a limb here. Colt McCoy. Cleveland does nothing this year...and by mid-season will be ready to put him in games. I think he has as good as if not better chance to do well in the NFL as any of the first round Qbs taken.

This may sound dumb but-

Mike Williams- TB WR. I know it's hard to draft any Buc outside of Caddy and Winslow, but they are still looking for a breakout #1 receiver. He's at least going to start at the #2 spot behind Reggie Brown, in my opinion. And after watching him in camp, he has the potential. It will be a matter of if Freeman can get him the ball.

Past that, I would have to say Bo Scaife is my next biggest sleeper. I think he'll get plenty of chances this year.
