After his 2 TD performance the other night I imagine people will start taking Antonio Brown. And Emmanuel Sanders probably limits his upside.
It's hard to predict the pickup of the year, especially at RB, since it often times depends on injury. |

ESPN is claiming Foster's injury is more serious than reported and he's likely to miss the first couple weeks. Not saying this is true, but it's probably time for people to start drafting Tate. Starting to have some concerns over Foster staying healthy this year. |

BUT............
Felix Jones looks to be this years Arian Foster. Darren McFadden should be on the same level too.
No reason for Calvin Johnson not to be the best receiver this year. Stevie Johnson should be another consistent big time scorer.

#11 Posted: 9/1/2011 11:52:29 AM I think Dexter Morgan will slice and dice his opponent nearly every week this year

#12 Posted: 9/1/2011 12:49:43 PM The hype for antonio brown is getting bigger and bigger each day..
Im thinking about picking him up but not sure who to drop..
Opinions please.. Who in this group, if at all, would you drop for Brown, and in what order..? Positions dont matter as these are the last spots on my bench..
Cj Spiller
Jacoby Ford
Lee Evans
Julio Jones
Thanks for any input..

Thanks for the input DJC... you are probably correct with your analysis... Before the preseason it was all bout Sanders till he hurt himself... Brown will probably have flashes of greatness but not a chance to show if he can be consistent... Hype can be blinding and i dont want to miss out on the big sleeper, probably more of a player to scout than pick up right away, and hope no one else is too eager.. |

#17 Posted: 9/1/2011 8:29:28 PM This is the excerpt that came out today...
Emmanuel Sanders "might be the best route-runner on the team and reads defenses as well as the coaching staff," according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.While Antonio Brown is a raw playmaker, Sanders is the more polished receiver. If healthy, he's the one that projects as the No. 3 receiver and direct backup to Hines Ward. We still prefer Sanders to Brown as a flier in fantasy leagues as long as he makes it out of tonight's preseason finale without a setback |

#18 Posted: 9/1/2011 10:14:15 PM Everything Ive seen confirms that.
Sanders still needs more reps after his calcium setback. Hes got some catching up to do.
Hines Ward while still a great player may have his best days behind him. We will see |

#20 Posted: 9/2/2011 12:54:35 AM You want some real sleepers lets do this.
Shane Vereen RB.......2nd round pick for patriots, I think he is most talented RB on patriots roster. He will have to prove it though. And the patriots backs will catch and run all day, might take a injury to woodhead or law firm.
Taiwan Jones RB. Raiders #3 back, if bush or mcfadden goes down, this guy will put up numbers.
Marcus Easley or Donald Jones. Bills WR's
ON Antonio Brown, my thinking a month ago was Emmanuel Sanders was a big sleeper. If you put the hype to the side, and now antonio will be getting more respect, I think Emmanuel sanders is even a better deal right now. I am not saying antonio brown isnt better, but damn. Emmanuel Sanders caught everythign they threw at him last year i mean wow.
Some people have Peyton hillis at 50+ in the draft, dont get that at all. Guy catches passes too and i just cant transalte him at 50 or even 40. If he is available around late round 3 take his behind. He is all the browns got.

I don't know if he is a sleeper, but I think he could easily be top-5 TE
