I picked up Sudfeld this week. Have a feeling he will get a TD. IDK if this is really a sleeper though with Gronk out this week.

Vereen, Pats rushed over 350 yards and scored 89 points in two games against Buffalo last season. Also, he'll be put in the slot and no huddle offense.

I like Vereen a lot. No Woodhead improves his stock.

I like Greg Jennings...wouldn't call him a sleeper, but I think he'll get a lot of targets...kind of surprised by his ADP

If you truly want to find a sleeper, look at teams with new QBs and see who they may develop chemistry with.

Pryor and Streater?
Geno Smith and Stephen Hill?
Manuel and Robert Woods?

Maybe a Baldwin with Kaep?

Who will Palmer look to as a #2 in Arizona? Floyd or Roberts? Housler if healthy?

This. I have him on the bench. If I wouldn't have Witten, I'd be tempted to start him.

He might be a season sleeper but not week 1 IMO

Yes. Vereen has no Danny Woodhead. But guess who does?

I can see the Pats getting a big lead and Vereen gets some nice work.

As far as rushing the ball, I think Blount and bolden would be in line for garbage duty over Vereen.

Yeah Gyno's right. Boldin has done this in the past. Vereen will probably get a early 4th quarter drive to himself, possibly a score, then be taken out with Ridley.

I like Indy def vs Oak this week. Should be good for a couple of picks.

ya, Indy and Tampa are the best DSTs for the people playing matchups, imo.

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed with Vereen this season.

Danny Woodhead went 700/7 last year w/ 40 receptions just sayin. If you drafted Vereen, chances are you got him pretty late.

I think Stephen Hill is your best bet for a deep sleeper.

I know the Jets suck, but he is a first round talent. Of course, he lit up waiver wires last year as well with his two td performance in week 1.
