Fantasy Central

It is that time of the year. The Fantasy Football Drafts are upon us. I do not participate in a Fantasy League but since I am around the game, numerous Fantasy Football Draftniks ask me who I like and to recommend players that they could draft. So here we go. By the way, the Fantasy Football Players know talent, so I will expound on under the radar type players. Let's start with quarterback. Obviously, I do not know each league individual scoring rules but here are 3 guys on the Rise: maybe the NFL's best kept secret is New England QB Brian Hoyer, if Tom Brady misses multiple games, pick up Brian Hoyer, this guy can play. 2 other QB's to look at late in your draft, Detroit's Matthew Stafford and Miami's Chad Henne. Next Running Backs:my Super Sleeper is Houston's Arian Foster. I like rookies CJ Spiller of the Bills and Lion's Javhid Best, and a real good back on the rise is Giants Ahmad Bradshaw. I am looking at Seattle's Justin Forsett but Leon Washington could be a surprise at Seattle. RB Atlanta's Jason Snelling could be a guy to eye-ball if Michael Turner misses games and 2 guys that had excellent 2nd half of the season's in 2009 were Kansas City's Jamaal Charles and Cleveland's Jerome Harrison. Speaking of Cleveland RB Peyton Hillis could be a goal-line guy that could be a scorer in Fantasy Football. Going to Tight End's, I like 2 rookies to explode onto the scene, Cincinnati's Jermaine Gresham, and New England's Rob Gronkowski. TE Zach Miller of Oakland could be a steal late, and Tampa Bay's Kellen Winslow might have a break out season if Tampa Bay can get him the ball. Reviewing wide outs, Steelers Mike Wallace could have a great year. Cleveland's Josh Cribbs is on the Rise, while Indianapolis Pierre Garcon could really explode, and 49ers Michael Crabtree is ready to turn it up a notch. If New England's Wes Welker has problems with his knee, then take a hard look at Julian Edelman to catch a bunch of throws. Place Kickers are abundant but my sleeper is Denver's Matt Prater. Hope everyone enjoys their Fantasy Football Season. It is amazing how many people(men and women alike)play Fantasy Football and have a great time doing it. This is an excellent time of the year.
