Our
guest pick this week comes from Minneapolis mayor R.T. Rybak, whose
fantasy team in Yahoo's 12-team mayors' league isn't having quite the
same success as the first-place Minnesota Vikings. Rybak's sleeper this
week is hometown hero Sidney Rice. "Sidney has emerged as Brett Favre’s
go-to receiver," he notes. "After consecutive 100-yard receiving weeks,
look for him to
pearl wholesale
be Lambeau leaping at least once when Favre returns to his old stomping
grounds in Green Bay next week." Projection: 5 rec, 80 yds, 1 TD.
We'll
be back next Thursday with another round of Sunday Sleepers. Who are
your sleeper picks for this week? Leave a comment below.
Fantasy football championships are won by scooping up un-sexy free
agents to fill your team’s holes. And if you’d taken our advice last
week, you might have enjoyed TDs from waiver wire denizens Austin
Collie and Laurence Maroney, or 90 total yards from
wheat pearl deep sleeper Justin Fargas.
This
week, we bring you another set of unheralded picks. First up: Running
back LeSean McCoy of the Eagles. We recommended the rookie back in Week
6 and he proved a bust. But in Week 8 he faces the Giants, who've
allowed a fairly generous 105 rushing yards to opponents this year.
More importantly, it's looking like Philly's Brian Westbrook won't play
as he recovers from a concussion. If McCoy starts, expect a very
productive day. Projection: 20 carries, 80 yds, 1 TD.
Scott
Swanay of FantasyFootballSherpa.com likes Packers’ tight end Donald
Lee. "With teammate Jermichael Finley unlikely to play due to a knee
injury, this solid vet should see more opportunities,” he says. “The
Packers will be forced to
akoya pearl rely on their passing game even more than
usual due to Minnesota's stout run defense.” Projection: 5 Rec, 60 Yds,
1 TD.
Paul Bourdett of RotoExperts.com recommends Marc Bulger of
the Rams. "He's more of deep-league sleeper but if the six-team bye
week has left the QB cupboard bare, you might want to consider," he
says. "He'll be facing a Lions squad that ranks second to last in
fantasy points ceded to opposing QBs -- 26.6 points per game in
standard scoring formats." Projection: 225 yds, 2 TD, 1 Int.
