word out of eagles camp is that, with Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter slowed by injuries, my boy Tony Hunt has been running with the first team... and has reportedly been unstoppable. pleeease stay healthy and have a big pre-season, Tony... the eagles need the "new Rudi Johnson" to back-up Westbrook
Kevin Curtis has reportedly been un-coverable, as well. i'm not sure if thats more indicative of Sheldon Brown heading for another "down" year, or that Kevin Curtis is legit.
i've been so busy with work and everything that i've barely even noticed the approaching NFL season, but im starting to get the fever now... once the first Eagles pre-season game rolls around, i'll be knee-deep in it

god, i havent even had a chance to enter any fantasy leagues or anything. having a job and a rent payment sucks balls.
off the top of my dome, sleepers...
ben roethlisberger - mvp, comeback poty-type season matt schaub - dunno if he's a sleeper because of the hype, but his repor with andre johnson will pay dividends byron leftwich - two words: contract year. so long as del rio doesn't make him the scapegoat halfway through the season. cadillac williams - he'll benefit hugely from jeff garcia... if his ankles hold up, i'm thinking 1,300 on the ground and upwards of 70 catches through the air edgerrin james - yea, arizona's line sucks. but there are improvements being made, none greater than the hiring of russ grimm. grimm and whisenhunt are gonna make sure edge returns to his old form. deangelo williams - the carolina running game has been stagnant for the last 3 years, but d'lo is too good of an all-purpose threat to be relegated to kick returns jamal lewis - word out of cleveland's camp is that he's the hungriest motherfucker in the game right now. thats good enough for me.
brandon marshall - "baby t.o." sans the attitude, he was already establishing a repor with jay cutler before the season ended. with walker dinged up and rod smith getting over the hill, i expect big numbers from marshall mark bradley - i've been saying this every year since the bears drafted him, but injuries have robbed him of the better part of 2 seasons. berrian is the token deep threat, and muhammad is the token possession guy. they need someone like bradley to do everything inbetween. bo scaife - tennessee's receiving corps is atrocious, VY has a relationship with scaife, and norm chow loves to employ the HBack... think 60-70 catches

I completely agree on Leftwich, James, Williams, and Scaife. I'm not so sold on Brandon Marshall, Mark Bradley, Cadillac Williams, Roethlisberger, or Schaub.
Here's some of my "sleepers" - Jon Kitna, QB, DET - Matt Leinart, QB, ARI - Jake Delhomme, QB, CAR - Cedric Benson, RB, CHI - Kevin Jones, RB, DET - Darrell Jackson, WR, SF - Troy Williamson, WR, MIN - D.J. Hackett, WR, SEA - Brandon Jones, WR, TEN - Visanthe Shaincoe, TE, MIN - Marcedes Lewis, TE, JAX

Kliquid, my friend, half your guys arent sleeper. A sleeper hasta be someone coming off an injury or a terrible season or someone who is just poised to break out.
Kitna and Leinart both have tons of press on them, Kitna is a top 5 QB, and Benson is a 2nd round RB.
Delhomme and Williamson I agree about.
Edge and Cadillac are my big RB sleepers
Dangelo Williams is having fumbling problems I heard, so its Foster to start the season.
Sydney Rice is another WR sleeper, Wes Welker too.

listen, i loved deshaun foster at ucla... but how many chances is Carolina gonna give him? i swear, john fox is probably the worst coach in the NFL. seriously. he'll be given a pass because he took his team to a Super Bowl, but with the talent that team has had the last few years, they should've been to 3 more.

True. I think Delhomme will be replaced by Carr by midseason as well.

i think he means in fantasy perspective, which is true. he passed for 4,000 some-odd yards last year, and that was with mike furrey at split-end instead of calvin johnson.

I put "sleepers" in quotations because I don't define the term the same way as other people do. To me, a sleeper is a guy who is likely going to finish much in significantly better position than the order he was drafted in.
I don't like Sydney Rice as a sleeper because he's going to be the No. 3 receiver on an awful Vikings team with a quarterback who has been described as "terrified and mentally collapsed when he sees the blitz."
I think Shaincoe could be a sleeper just because the Vikings paid the hell out of him, got rid of Wiggins, and are paving the way for him to be a redzone target.

Yes as a fantasy QB hes gonna go bananas this year, as long as there is some semblance of a running game there.

Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, Tom Brady, Donovan McNabb, Drew Brees, and Marc Bulger should all be drafted above Kitna.

They will be drafted above him, but I would not be surprised if he finishes with more fantasy points than Brady, McNabb or Brees.
Then again he could be this years Kurt Warner and blow penis by the 4th week
