wak 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Lets get ready for week one. OK I'll start! Arizona D/ST vs. SF J. Nedney @ Arizona M Jones vs Dallas. Roy Williams is always coming up to far, which opens up man coverage on the outside. I expect MJ to hook up for some big plays. None of Dallas' corners will be able to matchup with him.

throttlers 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Trent Green at home against the Bengals. Everyone is talking about the run game in KC, but this game is poised to be a shoot out, especially if they fall behind. Brandon Jacobs. The Giants/Colts game is going to be fun to watch. The Manning Bro's may have a little rivalry going in what could be a high scoring game. Jacobs could see a few goal line carries. Drew Brees at Oakland. People seem to forget how good he played last year. Stallworth is no big loss and Oakland is pathetic. McNair, Mason, Heap, Lewis at Tampa Bay. Baltimore is poised to possibly be the most improved team this year and TB D isn't that good any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither is Plummer for that matter. And Den Rb's a sleeper? Please. Maybe if you pick one or if you say Cobbs but to say Den Rb's. Who playing FF doesnt know that the Den running game has consistently been one of the best in the league. Rest of the list is decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadow2k 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Deshaun Foster vs ATL Two of his three 100yd games came against that horrible run D last year, and they won't be much better this year. 24/131/1 and 18/165/1 They allowed 130ypg last year on the ground, and 18 rushing TD's.

Warner and Plummer were a bit of a reach I know. I was just throwing it out there. Take it or leave it. How about Frye (CLE)? Let's face it if you are looking for DEEP sleepers in week one, you suck at drafting. By the way, I said "Bronco RB" because we don't know who it will be right now.

Then trade him before he gets hurt! I beg to differ with this statement. First, how is Deshaun Foster a sleeper? He is consistently picked in the 3rd to 4th rounds. And, the Atlanta D is not going to be horrible against the run this year. They added Grady Jackson at nose tackle to clog the middle, which should give their LBs more opportunity to stuff the run. Dont forget the presence of John Abraham. And new safeties Lawyer Milloy and Chris Crocker will be much better in run support as well. Defensive statistics from last year are pretty much worthless when applied to the coming season, especially in today's NFL when so much changes from year to year.

listen2me 23 1,542 Posted August 31, 2006 WHy would we list sleepers for week 1?....and use them??? all of your studs should be healthy......you play your studs.... I dont get it.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zangief 0 Posted August 31, 2006 WHy would we list sleepers for week 1?....and use them??? all of your studs should be healthy......you play your studs.... I dont get it.... Some of us are in league that are actually competitive and you don't get Manning, LJ, Tiki, Holt and Boldin. If you're in a remotely competitive 12 man league you don't have "studs" at every position, odds are your #1 RB and #1WR are set, but the other guys can be debatable based on matchups. If you have a 3rd round RB and a 5th round RB, or a 4th round WR and a 6th round WR, it's not clear cut 100% of the time which guy is better in a given week like it is in your 6 man Yahoo league.

shaqers 0 Posted August 31, 2006 Sammie Parker in the shootout at Arrowhead Samie is indeed a good sleeper pick for week 1 if it does turn into a shootout. Though i could really see Edwards call run, run and run to get Palmer and co. off the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Defensive statistics from last year are pretty much worthless when applied to the coming season, especially in today's NFL when so much changes from year to year. His ADP is 4th round for 12-teamers, which likely means that unless you start a flex spot, he's a bench player behind two starters. Bench players = sleepers to me. Will ATL defense be improved? Well sure, how could they not be. Of course things change from year to year. But if you're telling me that you think four new starters on D are going to suddenly play well together as a team in week 1...well, I'm not buying it. It will take time to get that unit to play well as a team. Abraham is a pass rusher, and Milloy and Crocker will be deep because of Carolina's passing game. Maybe you're an ATL homer, you sound like you follow them. I'm not in here saying ATL is going to suck on D all year. I'm only here stating that I think owners of D.Foster should consider putting him in their starting lineups in week 1. And just like things change from one year to the next...things change from week to week as well. So don't take it as a slam against ATL....past week 1 anyway.

I am actually a TB fan. I just think that the Atlanta defense is going to be much improved this year, especially against the run. I dont think the Atlanta safeties will be back covering the Carolina receivers all game either. Deangelo Hall is a really good cornerback, and should be able to stay with Steve Smith And Keyshawn Johnson is not scaring anyone deep. While I kind of agree with you when you say that Deshaun Foster is a good starter for week 1, dont be surprised if he does not get 100 yards or a TD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattcoz 3 Posted August 31, 2006 Arizona D/ST vs. SFI waited to get a defense in one of my leagues and all the decent ones were gone, so I picked up Arizona because of their week 1 matchup.

I plan on just using whichever team has the best matchup each week. I'm using that strategy, also. I like Arizona week 1 and STL week 2. I plan on using the team(s) playing either SF, GB, or Houston every week. I took Dallas in the 14th and Arizona in the 15th hoping that Dallas would be this year's Indy D/ST. Not sure if that will happen, but i'll hold on to them for a while to find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
