2nd round draft choice out of Nebraska. Ahman Green is in Houston now. Job is up in the air between him and Morency, however I think Morency has an injury that has been limiting him.

Boy that is a good question. I guess the middle rounds. I don't think initially I want him as a starting RB at this point. Maybe as your # 3 or # 4 RB (rounds 7-8 I am thinking).
Also, a couple guys who aren't really sleepers but should have big years are Vincent Jackson (WR - San Diego...there # 1 receiver). Also Travis Henry is the # 1 RB in Denver.
A potential true sleeper in your sense is DJ Hackett, WR in Seattle. With Darrell Jackson in SF, he could be big this year.

I picked up Jackson and Jennings from GB in the later rounds of my draft as researves. Have the feeling they'll be starting soon!

I'm probably going to take a chance with Grossman to play matchups. I typically like to take three QBs as I usually pick my first in round 7 or 8.
Other potentials:
WR - Drew Carter - Carolina (starting opposite Smith)
WR - Anthony Gonzalez - Indy, I can see him having a season similar to what Proel used to do for them.
RB - Adrian Peterson (the one from Chicago).
TE - Eric Johnson - New Orleans. Had some monster games with SF and should be able to get a lot of looks.
As for the guys who were talking about Jackson from GB, it looks like he will be the starter and will likely be a mid-round selection. Doubt he will fall past 6th round.

Proehl had three career receptions with the Colts. He spent a lot of his career with Carolina/St. Louis. Maybe you're thinking of Brandon Stokley?

I picked up Duckett in the last round of my draft. I'm hoping that Jones gets injured and Duckett scores a bunch of short rushing TD's. I didn't risk anything and have everything to gain.
Also, I'm watching Dwayne Jarret and Ashley Lelie...

Ummm ... yeah. Jennings started last year (but is now being pushed by another rookie - James Jones). Also, Jackson will start Week 1 (Morency is still recovering from an injury).

I'm not kidding. In my leagues, every starting running back will be gone in the first 5 rounds. The kid is a starter and got upside. Heck, there were 11 RBs taken in the first round alone.
Sucker? Naaa ... I'm in 4 leagues, running one that is in its 14th year now (wow, I'm getting old).

Robert Meachum...First round pick by the Saints. The Saints love to throw the ball and Joe Horn is out of town. Him and Brees have already hooked up during the preseason and look for it to continue.

jacoby jones, soon to be #2 wr in Houston. If you are in a league with return yards he is even more valuable.
