Where's the 07' Sleeper thread?

[Asskickas 20]

QB

Delhomme (weak schedule should help him and Steve a bunch)

Philip Rivers should break out and smash his ADP

Alex Smith

RB

Brandon Jackson Packers

Lamont Jordan being backed up by Dominic Rhodes in Oakland

WR

Brandon Jones Titans

Vincent Jackson - Chargers

Jerry Porter- Oakland

TE

Eric Johnson

 

Who do you guys think will have stats worthy of the 1st 4 rounds of a standard 12 team redraft but get drafted after round 6 or more? Who'll be the Colstons and Marion Barbers in 2007?

....SHHHHHH! When you on the board they are no longer sleepers...!

Look out Michael. Joey's snapping at your heels.

Eric Johnson = top 5 this year

Eric Johnson = top 5 this year

 

 

he could of been top 5 every year...its his brittle body that keeps him from achieving it

I'll still chance a 10th or 11th round pick on him. Brees loves big targets and that's a powerful offense. High risk/high reward pick.

 

well i do have him on my dynasty team so im not trying to say i dont think he will do well...the talent is definately there, not to mention he is in a much better situation now i think

First, Hairball would have to live up to a 6th or 7th rd value to even be considered a possible sleeper. I wouldn't even take the sissy in the 12th rd.

Eric Johnson = top 5 this year

 

Saints TEs were nothing spectacular last year, they combined for 394 yds & 1 TD on 44 catches. However they were used well at certain times to move the chains and I think Payton wants to try to get the position doing more than just block this year. If Johnson can stay healthy I think he will definitely get more looks than the position got last year & should be able to do more with them. But I'm not sure I would go so far to say that he will be a sleeper unless you consider about 600-800 yds & 3-5 TDs a sleeper. Think Ben Watson or Chris Cooley rather than Todd Heap.

well that would about equal his second(?) year in the league when he played all 16 games

[piratesownninjas 32]

Think Ben Watson or Chris Cooley rather than Todd Heap.

 

Cooley had 30 yards less and the same amount of TD's as Heap...

Maybe you meant to say think Watson, Cooley, or Heap instead of Winslow or Gates.

Cooley probably is a bad example. Watson is more accurate if you don't factor in his injury last year.

Tony Romo took over in week 8 last year and had 10 starts, which projects to 4,225 yards and 25.6 TDs over a full 16 games. Even a 10% decrease in Romo's stats would still equate to 3,800 yards and 23 TDs.

 

Romo's current ADP - 8.08

I have never understood the optimism that people have about Eric Johnson. Basically, he has been in the NFL for SIX years and far as I am concerned only had two good games of the 57 that he's managed to play. In 2004, weeks 4 and 5 he had 10-113 and 13-162. He averaged just 39 yards in the other 14 games he played that year when the 49ers had NO wide receivers. The best that they had was Cedrick Wilson with 641 yards that year. Remember? Lloyd, Wilson, Conway, Rashaan Woods and Battle - it was pretty pathetic and I believe the worst production of any wideout group that year with only a total of 13 scores. And yet despite a year where the 49ers had to throw every game, Johnson only had two monster games and then just mediocre numbers.

 

In six years, Johnson has scored a whooping seven times total. He missed two entire years with injury. Even in the absence of the injured Vernon Davis last year, Johnson only had 292 yards on 34 catches. The only time he'e ever had more than nine yards per catch was 2004 when he had those two big games and still it only ended up 10.1.

 

Here's every game he has played in the last four years:

 

2003 (injured)

 

2004

 

8-86 1 TD

5-60

5-39

10-113

13-162 1 TD

4-24

1-9

5-54

6-71

1-9

7-57

2-15

2-8

8-73

2-17

3-28

 

2005 (injured)

 

2006

 

1-2

7-87 1 TD

3-14

3-23

3-29

3-40

3-15

2-7

4-48

3-17 1 TD

2-10

 

Other than two games three years ago in a unique situation, I do not understand why anyone would want to touch Johnson for a fantasy TE. Granted he is playing on a team that likes to throw, just not to TEs much. I just don't see what some other people do. And I have zero faith that he will remain healthy.

Could be.

 

 

Greg Jennings. He's sub 30 in the WR ADP. He's itching to prove himself. When hurt last season he was on a 1100 yd. 10 TD pace.

[Avernus 204]

who is Delhomme's backup?...

 

I can't believe I already forget..
