Default Evan Royster and other sleepers

I'm starting to see Evan Royster's name crop up around the Internet as a sleeper for a big breakout. I know Dyv was on the Royster wagon early, but now I'm seeing that opinion in other places. A guy is not much of a sleeper if everyone is eyeing him. Anyway, any other ideas ?

Donald Brown, and Rashad Jennings and Jacquizz Rodgers and Spiller (especially in PPR leagues). I honestly don't think anyone is paying attention to Leshoure. I firmly believe he will take over #1RB duties by years end.

Curtis Brinkley, SD. Everyone has lips planted firmly on Matthews arse, but I would keep one eye planted firmly on the waiver wire. When (not if) Matthews is next injured grab Brinkley. (Ronnie Brown is what he is...don't waste your time).

I like Seattle's D - but carrying 2 in a typical league isn't all that great. I'd drop them for Royster without a thought...

Don't fall for it. Shanahan is evil. He will talk up Royster all day and then give him 6 carries in Week 1.

Exactly! Stay away from Redskins, Saints (other than sproles) or Patriots backs. Let someone else deal with the headache. For the life of me I don't understand what Shanny(s) see in Royster over Helu.

I think it's Helu's career 4.2 yards per carry, plus seemingly always injured
vs.
Royster's career 5.9 yards per carry

4.2 is okay, but 5.9 is all world. Heck, even 4.5 is a stud RB

Sample size is too small. 5.9 is great but he's only had about 3 games-worth of work. It's misleading to use the phrases "all-world" and "stud RB", no matter what the context. Not sure if he is going to be much of a fantasy asset this year.

Like others have said, there's no reason to rely a Redskins back. If you start him 8 weeks you might get 2-3 good games and 5 or 6 awful ones. Not worth it and it won't improve your team.

If you draft a Shanny back you deserve the headache(s)
