    Not sure, but Vernon Davis or Kellen Winslow at TE might be good late round steals. Neither was drafted in my 10 team league. TEs are weak, I know, but it seems a little tougher this year to find those diamonds in the rough.

    I don’t know if he is considered a sleeper or a late round gem but I think Chester Taylor is going to be a top 5 pick next year because of the break out year he is going to have this year. I also love Nate Burleson and been able to get him in the late rounds of my drafts.

    I'd take a look at that Cotchery fellow with the Jets. Nobody is going to take Jets and you could get value with Cotchery.

    Frank Gore. Now the niners featured back with the trade of barlow. He averaged 4.8 YPC last year on very limited carrys behind a terrible offensive line. The 49er line is MUCH better this year and frank has proven he can run behind a bad line anyway.

    I got him in a late round somthing like 12th

    I like Gore and Burleson as sleepers, also don't forget about Ben Watson from the Patriots. He's probably the 2nd best option Brady has to throw to behind Branch (if and when he decides to play).

    I have Gore in two leagues but couldn't get him in my keeper league. For what its worth, Gore could be tremendous in my opinion. Lets just hope the knees hold up.

    I don't do fantasy anymore, not sure where he is slotted, but I would expect a big year from Brandon Lloyd this season.

    Good call on whoever picked Cotchery. Six receptions with a TD and he was targeted 10 times. Might be a nice waiver wire pickup for me.

    If you watched the Monday night game, you'd see what a beast Merriman from San Diego is. Other good ones are Abraham from ATL, Brooks from TB, Vrabel from NE, Porter from PIT and Fletcher from BUF.

    Hang on to Bledsoe, he was on the road against a very good Jaguar defense. His numbers will definitely improve.

    I'd pick up Big Ben if he's still available due to his injury around draft time. He'll be back to normal within the next week or two and will be a solid play.

    Atlanta RB Jerious Norwood , is not bad, reminds me of Brandon Jacobs but with more carries. I'm sure Jerious will get more carries as the year goes on.

    No man, he's taken...
    Actually Im playing against the team that has him and it sucks because he's listed as a TE so the guy can play him plus two other WR...
    I need a miracle dude...
    Any other suggestion???

    Damn, that sucks because I just picked him up two nights ago because I was also weak at WR. If I see any other sleepers I will pass them along.

    Just thought of one, has anybody picked up Barrion from Chicago yet? If not, pick him up because the guy is real solid.

    I'd go with Mason for sure. He only caught 5 passes last week but McNair threw his way 11 times so he's definitely looking for him. After that I guess I'd go with Cotchery.
