Kenbrell Thompkins

Was being discussed last night on NFL Live, and the fantasy guru said he is "the real deal." I immediately added him to my sleeper list.

I'm thinking this will be a great value pick somewhere between 11-14th round.

Today I'm looking around for info. on this guy. Noticed that the Patriots website has him buried on the depth chart.

I know those are never final until the week of the first real game.

CBS has Kenbrell listed as the number 2 WR, but the site is obviously not up to date because it list guys who are known to be out for the year as starters.

I'll keep an eye out for now, and might consider him in the late rounds, but I'd like to hear from Belichick's mouth whether the guy is starting or not. And, even if he does start, I would not drop Vincent Brown for this guy as was said in a few other posts. Brown is the No. 1 WR and probably No. 2 pass catcher behind Gates. Like Rivers or hate Rivers, he's gonna throw the ball. 3600+ yards last year, 4600+ the year before. I'm hoping Brown is a in for a 3rd-year break out. I haven't drafted yet, but given a choice, I'd take Brown on Thompkins any day.
