Fantasy Football Tidbits.. guys I really like

Jermichael Finley, TE, Green Bay Packers

This guy might be the best athlete in the league. His frame is massive and he runs like a gazelle. He's easily the best red zone target on the Packers and was one of their better receivers once he forced himself into the starting lineup. Would not shock me to see 100 catches, 1300 yards, and 10-14 touchdowns for Finley.

Michael Turner, RB, Atlanta Falcons

At the very worst he's getting you 1000 yards and 10 touchdowns, and it's not even close to unreasonable to think he could match his output from two years ago. I like Turner as the #3 RB after CJ and Peterson.

Anthony Gonzalez, WR, Indianapolis Colts

It wasn't a stretch to see 1000 yards and 10 touchdowns from Gonzalez last year, and it isn't this year, either. Especially if he can go back to the slot and do his thing again with Garcon on the outside. Without that knee injury, we probably don't ever get to know Austin Collie, and I doubt Collie will even be drafted in fantasy leagues next year with Gonzalez coming back.

Hines Ward, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Say what you want about the guy, he's clearly the #1 option again and should provide great numbers again this year. He doesn't appear to be any worse for the wear despite his age, and there's no longer Santonio Holmes around.

I completely agree with Finley and Gonzalez. However Mike Wallace and Heath Miller are much better options on the steelers. I also don't plan on counting out Addai, he's not the best but he will more than likely get goal line touches.
Who doesn't think Turner will get 1000/10? I see higher potential if they don't wear him out.

As for my fantasy sleepers. I got Gresham on the Bengals, Malcolm Floyd on the Chargers, and Kolb for the Eagles.

shiftay, that was my point. He's at least getting you 1000/10, and could get you 1800/18 no problems as well.
