Sleepers
Early Round Sleeper - Steven Jackson:
"the fact that the Rams now have
a new head coach in Scott Linehan who has promised to run
the ball more than former coach, Mike Martz, the future
could hold big things for Jackson. We here at Huddlegeeks
see Jackson rushing for somewhere in the neighborhood of
1,600 yards with 13-15 TDs."
Final 2006 year end stats for Jackson:
2300 total yards 14 TDs, Final RB Ranking: 3
Mid Round Sleeper - Jon Kitna:
"With Kevin Jones in the Lions backfield and Roy Williams
catching passes, Kitna should be able to once again reach
the 3,500 yard mark in passing yards but increase his touchdown
total to around 20-22 for the season."
Final 2006 year end stats for Kitna:
4200 yards 23 TDs, Final QB Ranking: 6
Late
Round Sleeper - Mike Furrey: "Mike Furrey is
a guy that will fly under most fantasy enthusiast's radar
this season. It would not surprise us to see Furrey step
up and be one of the steady targets for Jon Kitna throughout
the 2006."
Final 2006 year end stats for Furrey:
98 receptions 1086 yards 6 TDs, Final WR Ranking: 19
Busts
Trent Green - ADP (average draft
position) QB 11: "There is a new regime in Kansas
City. The high-octane, high-flying offense that Dick Vermeil
and the Chiefs are known for is gone. In comes Herman Edwards
and his plodding, field position, ball control offense."
Final 2006 year end stats for Green:
1342 yards 7 TDs 9 Ints, Final QB Ranking: 36
Vernon Davis - ADP TE 12:
"Too high for the rookie and Eric Johnson is Alex Smith's
go to guy right now."
Final 2006 year end stats for Davis:
265 yards 3 TDs, Final TE Ranking: 22
