I'm just wondering if anyone has any predictions on fantasy football busts and sleepers for the upcoming year. I know a lot of this depends on how big a league is as far as how valuable a guy will be. I'm in a 12 team league, so we have to really dig deep sometimes to find a guy to help our squads. Anyway, as far as sleepers go, I really like Ashley Lelie in Denver. I think we'll see the changing of the guard this year from McCaffrey down to Lelie. He has incredible speed, and if his hands become reliable, he'll be an incredible option for Plummer to stretch the field. Busts? Hmmm. Tough call, and although he may not be a bust, I think Peerless Price will see a drop off in stats this year. I think he's not quite #1 WR status yet, and he'll struggle with double teams until Finneran or someone else can take the pressure off of him. Vick is a huge threat out of the backfield, but if he is neutralized by the front 7, like Tampa was able to do, I see Price struggling to put up huge numbers. So, those are my thoughts. What are yours?? Only 53 days left to my league's draft. Not that i'm counting, though....
I haven't really studied any situations yet, but I think Jerry Porter could have a big year in Oakland with Brown taking a step back and Rice not being the deep threat he was 10 years ago.
My Bust is Priest Holmes. I don't think his hip is right yet, might stay off and on all year. My sleeper is Donte Stallworth. This guy is blazing fast and with all the attention Horn gets, he'll get plenty of single coverage.
