Roo Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Sometimes I like to target guys in late rounds (or for low money) that have a slim chance of breaking out. Sometimes it's worth grabbing a guy like MJD instead your #6 loser WR. (obvious in retrospect I know) Sometimes I won't even draft a kicker/defense, just to see how things shake out in the weeks that lead up to game 1 with some backup or rookie. So who are your late round fliers? Who are the guys you're going to snag, and why do you think it's worth it? I'll start with one: Anthony Gonzalez - IND - WR Cons: rookie WR, #3 in the slot Pros: best passing/QB in the league, Stokely did it, small and fast My thinking here is pretty simple. Being on the top team, in a top offense, with Manning throwing to you is always going to offer a better chance of high success. A couple things could happen here. Should either Wayne or Harrison miss time, he will move up in role. Should he remain in the slot, he's still a more talented version of Stokely, who made a name for himself there with 10TDs. He's the perfect build for that role too, agile and shifty with good hands. If you're going to be a #3 WR, the best place to be in Indy. Could turn out to be more productive than other better known fastasy WRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I would say Aundrae Allison has a very good chance at producing for the Vikes and will likely go undrafted in many leagues...except for very deep leagues of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I would add my .02 but I don't want to tip my hand as I am in one of the Huddle Ladder leagues.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReturnToSender Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I love Galloway this season, he's gonna get drafted in most leagues, but very under valued. I like Heath Miller this season, I think the burg is gonna pass a lot underneath. Don't shoot me, but for where you can grab them, I like Porter/Curry, which ever emerges out of camp as the favorite target of who ever is QBing the Raiders. I know he's no sleeper,I am the 8th pick in a 12 person serpent draft, so after going back at 8, if Holt isn't there, I am picking Colston in the 2nd round. Freddy Taylor is way under valued also, and MDJ is way over valued for a split time back. Just some of my opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Ryan Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Bronco Billy. You should probably pay attention here. It may help you with your future picks, so you dont drop the pouch on them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturphy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Mike Furrey Everyone is taking a nap on him and overvaluing CJ (freak, but rookie anyone?). J.P. Losman Brutal sched, but I like him as a QB2 and he'll be available in the last round. Tony Hunt Probable TD vulture and Westbrook replacement when he gets injured (c'mon...you know it's coming ) James Jones GBP Def/ST I. am. a. homer.

Roo Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yeah Tony Hunt is the type of guy I grab late round for kicks - good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
