Bury Your Fantasy Football Competition! Running Back Sleepers to Watch in 2009
Every year in football from all walks of fantasy has its own opinion of the mischievous and 2009 is no different. Sleeper Pick up or down can build your team so consider all options for the simulation of the projects. You never know when someone is having a breakout season. Here are some of my thoughts on RB sleepers can have a significant impact in 2009.
2009 Sleeper Fantasy Football Predictions: Running Backs
Shonna Greene-New York Jets
While Thomas Jones is still the regular budget item, which is on the wrong side of 30 and if you injure him, all signs point toward Shonna Greene replaced by Leon Washington rest of the 3rd in the back or the RB used more often in passing situations. Shonna Greene does a great "wives" if the draft Thomas Jones in fantasy football. I would aim Greene's writing about the 13th round in typical fantasy draft.
Matt McGuire, a writer Walterfootball.com Shonna Greene also puts on his list of sleepers. According to McGuire, "If Thomas Jones continues to hold and cut, Greene could become a viable RB3. We know the Jets Greene's love for him because they are listed in the third round. At the moment, Jones is still on the list, so we have to see how it plays before consolidating its projection of fantasy in August. "
Andre Brown-New York Giants
Now that Derrick Ward is leaving the Giants to play with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown is a leading candidate to replace Ward as the 3rd RB on the Giants' three-headed monster "running game. Brown has the same construction as Derrick Ward, so it could easily fill this role, therefore it is worth keeping an eye on in the preseason. Draft him in football fantasy, only if it gets the job of backup to Brandon Jacobs or that is widely used in the three "heads" of attack and succeed in that role. If he has a great pre-season, look to your project right around 14th round before making a defense or kicker.
Glen Coffee-San Francisco 49ers
The Frank Gore's injury history makes coffee must have "wives" of choice for Gore owners. I look to draft him around Round of 12 in most fantasy draft and maintain a close watch on him during the preseason.
James Davis-Cleveland Browns
Jamal Lewis is getting older and if I was going to get injured, Davis is the favorite to replace him as the starting RB for Cleveland. Davis is a power that could return of value to fantasy owners who are willing to take a chance on it around the 13th or 14th round in the draft fantasy. View preseason training camp and the battle between Davis and Jerome Harrison closely to see who comes out on top this year.
Derrick Ward-Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ward has a chance to be Michael Turner this year. Fantasy Sports writer Patrick O'Neill, said in his article Fantasy Football Sleepers: Running Back Rankings on Fantasy Football 2009 ", Derrick Ward has so much to go well for him in Tampa Bay's almost silly." Ward has been mainly used as a backup RB in the past, but now has a great opportunity to become the regular budget from Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is a team that likes to run with the ball and I think Ward has the skills to succeed in this system. According to Ward is a sleeper FFToolBox.com undervalued. "Ward is the best bet to escape Graham as a star in the Tampa Bay backfield, and is an excellent option in the middle episodes as an option # 3 can produce 1,200 meters above the ground and as 40 total TD catches with 7 in 2009, "FFToolBox.com States. The Tampa defense is good enough to keep most games close Ward, therefore, give a great opportunity to see a lot of the details of each game. However, Earnest Graham can steal something from his goal line and brings this can reduce total Ward TD.
Dallas Cowboys-Felix Jones
There is football, unless you talk a little about the Dallas Cowboys, so last but not least we have Felix Jones. Jones will get more carries per game, I think, than most people think he will. He has the explosiveness to score just about any time he touches the ball and could hold a large number of smart fantasy owners who are willing to take a chance on him in the middle for the final rounds projects of fantasy.
