Even though the fantasy football season is far, far away, I couldn’t help but compile a list of potential sleepers and busts. What do you guys think?
Sleepers
- Laurence Maroney
- Kenny Watson
- DeAngelo Williams
- Michael Turner
- Roddy White
- Drew Bennett
- Darren McFadden
Busts
- Donald Driver
- Greg Jennings
- Ryan Grant
- Kellen Winslow
- Marshawn Lynch
- Shawn Alexander
- Bernard Berrian
- Cedric Benson
- Dwayne Bowe
- Lendale White
- Jamal Lewis
- Joey Galloway
- Steve Smith
Green Bay Hatred Sure seems like you don’t have much faith in Aaron Rodgers. Can’t say that I do either but having the Top 3 busts from one team seems a little bit over the top. We will all miss Brett Favre, especially those in the Packers organization, but let’s see what the former 1st rounder can do.
I do, however, like your Maroney sleeper pick. He was injured for most of the year in that pass-happy attack. As the season wound down and even in the playoffs, he seemed to become healthy and really produce. DeAngelo Williams will have the full work load so he has the potential to blow up.
Grant will be fine I think Ryan Grant will be fine. I don’t thnk he should be a first rounder but I can see him going late 2nd/early 3rd. that’s still high for a guy that came out of nowhere last year, but I think Rodgers will do enough to keep Grant an effective guy.
I think in terms of sleepers I like the other rookie RBs too, guys like Rashard Mendenhall and Ray Rice. One of these rookies will come up big, just watch.
