Fantasy and Hardesty

[Joey]

I am thinking of picking him up late in my draft this week. Listening to Grossi, he seems like the real deal. What are you guys thinking?

I personally don't see him having much value this season, but if there's not much else available, he may not be a bad guy to pick up, just in case he ends up playing well.

I haven't drafted him in any of my leagues because our offense hasn't been good enough to get close to the end zone, so touchdowns will be limited. But that could change.

It really just depends on who else is out there when you pick.

My spidey sense is really tingling on the guy. I think he's gonna rock.

As a Brown.. I think He'll be good and I'm very excited about him. As a fantasy player. I believe the ball will be split between Harrison, Hillis, and Hardesty to the point none of them will be real good fantasy players. None of them will get enough touches to be dominant in fantasy. .. Now if your in a keeper league or dynasty league he may be a good pickup there. I play in a keeper league and am thinking of grabbing him later on as a possible keeper.

DB41 .... Any sleeper picks for RB? I got the big ones down but the league that i am in is RB heavy. Any help would be appreciated.

Javid Best for Detroit. Not sure if he's a sleeper..but he's for real and will be getting the ball. A LOT!

[Joey]

Thanks and agreed. I have him on my short list. It seems every year i get a major injury and i never recover because my backup suck (sounds like the browns lol)

Just trying to get better this year.

The Best idea is a very good one. He was a steal.

Mathews or Best: which rookie would y'all rather have?

Mathews. Will still catch the ball quite a bit, and is going to be the workhorse.

For value, however, probably Best. You can get him a few rounds later, whereas Mathews is going in the top 3 rounds.

Well, I'm a fan of Moreno as a mid-round guy who is going to produce. If you're talking about matchup RB's, or later round guys, I've been checking out players like Michael Bush (4.8 ypc, and 17 catches in limited time), Ahmad Bradshaw (4.8 ypc and 21 catches in just 1 start), and maybe even Clinton Portis if you want to take a chance that he's fully healthy.

Portis should be somewhat productive considering Washington actually having a QB that's a threat to throw the ball consistently well. Although, I haven't been targetting him unless I can get nice value, just because I hate taking guys coming off injuries, especially a concussion.

As for sleeper RB's I'm going with:

Toby Gerhart
Arian Foster (although he's going higher now that he's starting)
Anthony Dixon (could be the goal line, Brandon Jacobs type)
Rashad Jennings (you can pick him up in FA most likely, but keep an eye on him, despite MJD)
Tashard Choice (again, more of a FA guy, but Barber is being cast out more. The Razorback offense features Felix Jones and Choice, rather than Barber)

I do not get people taking Mathews so early in drafts. SD still has this guy name Sproles who SD is paying a lot to. Expect Sproles to be a big part of the offense when the real games begin in a few weeks.
