I have a couple of offline money league drafts coming up where we use a draft board and sit around and act like a bunch of idiots for 3 hours, though its really fun. I haven't done a lot of studying this year, while I know how is going where in the first couple of rounds, I am curious about value in the later rounds and what rookies will actually show up to play this year. Any help?

Some sleepers I like this year: Ray Rice for the Ravens(McGahee is injury prone, so I would expect him to see plenty of carries throughout the season.) Anthony Gonzalez for the Colts(With Marvin Harrision gone, Gonzalez becomes one of the big targets for Peyton Manning. I think one of the best sleeper picks you might be able to get between the 5th-7th round.) Dustin Keller for the Jets(Sanchez will end up the starter for the Jets, and rookie QB's like to use their TE's. Keller could be a good pickup and sleeper this year.) Some rookies to watch: Mark Sanchez Knowshon Moreno Michael Crabtree Matt Stafford

I would say Maclin, Percy Harvin, and Donald Brown are solid. I also think that if Crabtree signs with the 49ers he would be a solid pickup as well. Those four you should keep an eye out for.

Shonn Green RB Jets - should get a lot of goal line touches=touchdowns=points

Ramses Barden WR Giants- Tall WR should get a good amount of balls thrown his way because he is 6'7 and he is looking good in camp. Also, the rest of the Giants WRs are kind of crappy

I'd even pick up Vick in the very last round if he's still there just because he's a playmaker.

This is another good choice. He will play the same role that Plaxico did in the endzone.

deanglo williams percy harvin greg olsen matt forte andre johnson chris henry (bengals) just a few to watchxbox360isgr8t

Dude, half these guys aren't sleepers, they're studs. I like Ahmad Bradshaw as a sleeper this year. I think he'll take the role that Ward had perfectly.

williams is a sleeper, olsen is a sleeper, harvin is a rookie and a sleeper, chris henry is also a sleeper. Andre johnson is a sleeper because he is so underated.

Williams is considered a top-10 fantasy back and Andre Johnson is considered top-5, some even say top-3 WR in fantasy. That is very far from being a sleeper. Harvin and Olsen I would agree with you on though.

Williams is NOT a sleeper. For christ's sake he was the leader in rushing td's last season. Andre Johnson is also not a sleeper. Being under rated is NOT a qualification for being a sleeper. Johnson already has a couple of great seasons with 1000+ yards with a handful of td's. He's a highly sought WR in the fantasy world that goes off the board NO LATER than the 2nd round (standard league.) Matt Forte was a stud last season so he has expectations to perform at the same level as he did last year. A sleeper is a player you can get in the later rounds with good value. Please read the following link because i really sums up what a sleeper actually is.

Williams: #1 Fantasy back in football last season Andre Johnson: Consensus top-two WR on everyone's board Matt Forte: PPR stud and is in everyone's top-five RBs Harvin: Gets his share of hype and will get even more hype if the Favre thing happens. A sleeper is someone like Chaz Schilens.

I have to say, if Westbrook goes down this year, watch out for Philly's RB LeSean McCoy.

I wanted to say Stafford too...but there's only so much Calvin Johnson can catch in double coverage...there's nobody else the defense has to cover in the Lions offense really.

Crabtree is a good one too, but he doesn't really have much of a quarterback (Hill/Smith).

Chiefs' WR Dwayne Bowe is also going to be interesting to watch, considering his quarterback isnt great either.(Campbell).

Lastly, I'd like to give a shoutout to Seahawks' RB Julius Jones. Former Cowboys' 2nd string running back behind Marion Barber will get full time duties in Seattle and could surprise some people. Of course, assuming the Seahawks' offensive line can hold up for him to run.
