This is another article from my friend Bob Lung at creativesports.com


Free Report:
Steal a First-Round Receiver!
Darrell Jackson. Keenan McCardell. Santana Moss.

These receivers were afterthoughts on Draft Day 2003. However, they put up numbers well beyond the value of the round in which they were drafted. Normally, sites project numbers, calculate fantasy points, rank, and stop there. Not us. We go beyond the numbers.


How will the arm of the quarterback affect the fortunes of the receiver?
Will the offensive line give the quarterback time to locate his receivers?
Will other receivers on the team help draw coverage away?
Will the coach be aggressive or conservative in his style of play?
Will the team's defense be stingy, causing the offense to run out the clock to protect second-half leads?
Will other receivers on the team help draw coverage away?
Receivers in fantasy football are much like starting pitchers in fantasy baseball. There are a few studs that warrant a first round pick, but for the most part, position scarcity usually points you towards choosing a top offensive stud like A-Rod, Pujols and others. Also, just like fantasy baseball, if you "go out on the limb" and choose a stud pitcher in the first round, then the top offensive players are usually gone by the time you get to your second round pick.

So, you're choice is… two top running backs (position scarcity) in the first two rounds and choose your receivers later OR pick a stud receiver in the first round and get stuck with questionable running backs in the second and third rounds. We highly recommend grabbing two solid running backs in the first two rounds.

Why?

Because we are going to give you 15 receivers that will exceed their expected draft position and provide enough value, that you will get the equivalent of "Stealing a First-Round Receiver"!

I agree with that philosophy. I got D-Jax in about the seventh round last year because all the hype was pointed at K-Rob. I passed on Santana because of Chad's broken wrist.

Give this a bump, since drafts are already starting. Everyone can use a bit of help identifying breakout players.

This is one of my targets:

Justin McCareins numbers have consistently displayed a knack for the big catch. He had seven touchdowns in only 47 receptions, and had a gaudy 17.3 yards per catch average. A 65-catch season could result in 1100+ yards, with 10+ touchdowns. McCareins is a must-draft, if he falls to the 5-7 rounds of your draft

I'd have to pick either Todd Pinkston or Freddie Mitchell as my sleeper, whoever gets the #2 spot. With T.O. on the outside, the Eagles are gonna have a lot of fun this year, i cant wait. I hope the GIants stick Eli in the first game so the Philly D can show him NY isnt better than San Diego, its the NFL. I hate that guy, dictating where hes going and all, weak!!
Back to the sleeper pick.... I know McNabb doesnt really prefer the shotgun, but im thinking this year, they might put more plays like that in there, because they have westbrook who can catch out the backfield, plus lj smith and T.O. Freddie Mitchell has gotten better each year, and now the EAGLES FINALLY AND I MEAN FINALLY have a #1 wideout!!! The last one i can think of would probably be Irving Fryar and thats a stretch. Fred Barnett/Calvin Williams in the Randall days were nice.
Hopefully Andy Reid doesnt call his bright onside kicks any more to start off games. Let the talent play the game, geez....
For my darkhorse, i'd say Larry Fitzgerald is gonna be awesome, and if they double team him, you got Anquan Boldin..

In a keeper league I have some pretty bad options for keepers. Listed as one of my keepers is WR Tyrone Calico. He is a great red-zone target.
What can I expect out of Tyrone in 2004?

Aces - you of all people (or any other Eagles fan) can't be hard on Eli for dictating where he was going to play. That's exactly what TO did, when he told the Ravens and 49ers after his trade - that he wouldn't play for anyone but the Eagles.
