2009 Top Fantasy Football QB Sleepers

Dave B’s 2009 fantasy football article detailing the top 3 fantasy Quarterback’s this year with the term SLEEPER applied to their status…

Fantasy Football Draft Guide – Surprise Picks

The next installment of our preseason NFL draft guide for fantasy football is the 2009 edition of our top picks for draft day Fantasy Football SLEEPERS at the QB position. It takes a discerning eye to distinguish the unheralded or unused players primed for breakout seasons. They turn fantasy teams into fantasy champions.

Dave’s Early Sleepers — Quarterbacks

The term Sleeper is a tough one to grasp unless you are in DEEP league.  The term itself implies that somebody has the chance to come out of nowhere and be an occasional starter for your Fantasy Football team.

Over the past few seasons, Under-valued, has become the sexy term to describe someone who has the potential to out perform their draft position.  Under-valued is the more useful term, and one for which I will base this Sleepers article on.

When determining my Sleepers, I looked at depth charts, position battles, team philosophy, Average Draft Position (ADP) and of course the player themselves.

Here we go.

1.  David Gerrard – Jacksonville. – David Gerrard seems to be a consensus Sleeper this year.  With an Average Draft Position (ADP) of 128, Gerrard has defiantly slipped out of favor with the FF public.  12th Round for an experienced QB with decent weapons seems a bit low doesn’t it?  David has done all he can to turn off Fantasy footballers.

Out are the distractions of Matt “It’s only baking powder” Jones and Fred (too easy to come up with a nickname) Taylor and in with a new weapon (Torry Holt), and a newly crowned unquestioned, unparalleled feature back, Maurice Jones Drew.  Add in the fact that Gerrard will get you a couple of scores on the ground and you have the recipe for a good year.  If you believe in Drew you have to like Gerrard.

2.  Trent Edwards – Buffalo. – Will Edwards finally realize his potential this year?  I am betting on Yes.  Edwards is another player that is slipping late into draft with an average ADP of 129.  In the 12th Round, you can certainly do worse!   20 tds is a certainty with the weapons he has at his disposal.  A motivated Terrell Owens is auditioning for a long term, big money contract and Lee Evans is more than a quality 2nd option.  Add in 2 capable RB’s and Trent looks poised for a breakout season this year.

3.  Matt Hasselbeck – Seattle. – Mark my words folks, Seattle will have a good offensive season this year.  1 year removed from a draft where Matt was a consensus starter on most fantasy football teams.  Plus he comes into the season healthy and with a new toy in TJ Houshmandzadeh, and a sure handed, stud-to-be TE John Carlson.  25 TD’s.  Is not too bad for a guy that you can pick up in the 13th round.  If Hasselbeck can remain healthy this year, he has the potential to emerge as your starter in a weakish division.
