SLEEPER FANTASY DRAFT PICKS

It's the 8th or 9th round of your fantasy draft and you are looking for some players who have upside potential and have fallen under the radar. These draft picks are critical to your success of your season because you never know who will get injured or who will under perform. Here are some recommendations for drafting your backups.

QB - Matt Leinart (Arizona)
With one year of experience under his belt and in a division where most games will likely be shootouts, Leinart makes for a great backup if he hasn't already been chosen as a starter. He seems to be ranked just outside of the top 10 in most pre-draft rankings.

RB - Deuce McAllister (New Orleans)
Deuce had 10 TD's last season and I look for more of the same this year. Even though Deuce is sharing the load with Bush, New Orleans has plenty of offense to spread the touchdowns around.

WR - Vincent Jackson (San Diego)
Jackson, now in his second year, looks like the primary target for Philip Rivers in preseason. He has 8 receptions for 128 yards and 3 TD's so far in preseason. Most pre-draft rankings have Jackson as the 28th WR pick.

WR - Kevin Curtis (Philadelphia)
With Stallworth in New England, I would look for Curtis to step into Donte's position. He is a very good possession receiver and I look for him to get many touches in a heavy passing Philadelphia offense. Most pre-draft rankings have Curtis as the 31st WR pick.

TE - Bo Scaife (Tennessee)
Scaife was a teammate of Vince Young's at Texas so he is very familiar with the QB. With lack of WR depth on the Titans, Scaife will be a key red zone target this year. Scaife has already put up significant totals in preseason (10 catches for 123 yards and a TD)

K - Matt Stover (Baltimore)
Stover was tied for the most field goals made last year with Robbie Gould. He is very undervalued in most fantasy pre-rankings.
