I have done a few sleeper lists by position, but here is my consolidated list for those of you with weekend drafts. After each name is the round that you should be able to get the player in a 10-team league. After all, a sleeper is not a sleeper if you take him 3 rounds too early.
WR Brandon Marshall - DEN - 3rd round - Will now only miss one game, and is entering the magic 3rd year for wide receivers.
RB Earnest Graham - TB - 4th round - Cadilac is not coming back, and Graham will remain the featured back even in the presence of Warrick Dunn.
WR Roddy White - ATL - 6th round - Broke out with terrible QBs last year, and won't be hurt very much by the presence of Matt Ryan.
QB Jay Cutler - DEN - 7th Round - The crown jewel of my sleepers. Cutler has shown talent in his first two years, and is entering his 3rd year as starter. He has good receivers and a suspect running game.
TE Chris Cooley - WAS - 7th round - Should improve on last year's numbers as Campbell improves.
QB Matt Schaub - HOU - 9th Round - Also has good receivers and poor running game. A porous defense seals the deal.
WR Derrick Mason - BAL - 10th round - Caught 103 balls last year, and like Roddy White, he did it with bad QBs. We project a steep dropoff, but not as steep as most.
QB Aaron Rodgers - GB - 11th round - Lost in the hype of the Favre fiasco. Has good receivers and a good scheme.
WR Ted Ginn - MIA - 11th round - Started to heat up towards the back end of the season last year. Is the #1 WR in Miami, and gets an upgrade in QB with Pennington.
TE Tony Scheffler - DEN - 11th round - Another Bronco in the passing game, another sleeper pick.
RB Steve Slayton - HOU - 12th round - All the other running backs in Houston could be injured by halftime of the first game. Slayton has the most talent and the least mileage of the Texan's running back corps.
