RB Sleepers 2009

I've poured over and over the offseason work outs, training camp and the preseason and come up with my ultimate sleepers for 2009. I've broken them down by position and have included my special Super Sleepers as well. If you like what you see here, you will find even more in the Fantasy Football Search Draft Kit. Members can login anytime and have all the information you will ever need for the draft and all season long.

Running Backs

Ray Rice -- Baltimore -- This could turn out to be your biggest pick of the entire draft. Rice is entering his second season and will be the certain starter in Baltimore. Rice's selection by the Ravens out of Rutgers was no accident. He was selected to take over the LaDanian Tomlinson role in Cam Cameron's offense. Rice is an exceptional pass catcher and has great vision and speed. He could be a top 5 RB especially in PPR league formats. Last season the Ravens used a three man backfield to keep defenses guessing and their RB's fresh. This year they think that Rice can handle a much bigger workload and will give him plenty of touches in each and every game.

Chris "Beanie" Wells -- Arizona -- I cannot believe how lowly rated Wells is on most people draft boards right now. This guy is a prototypical NFL RB who has all the tools to be a star in the league. He will be running behind an always improving offensive line and will see very few 8-9 man fronts due to the incredible passing game the Cardinals possess with Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. This will give Wells all the room he needs to run over or by a single defender and into the defensive secondary. He'll pass Tim Hightower on the depth chart by week 2 and score double digit TD's this season.

James Davis -- Cleveland -- A disappointing effort at the combine allowed Davis to slip to the Browns in the 6th round of the NFL draft this year. It turned out to be a blessing for both as Davis has been spectacular all summer long and is pushing veteran Jamal Lewis right out the door in Cleveland. I consider Davis already the starter despite Lewis still being on the roster at this moment. Davis is deceptive speed especially laterally which is very important for an NFL RB. His hands are also better than advertised, though Jerome Harrison will continue to get much of the third down work. The key for Davis is his blitz pickup, which is better than most scouting reports said and improving during training camp. Davis' name is starting to get hot of late and thus he's going a little earlier than he was a few weeks ago. I would take him ahead of guys like Larry Johnson, Cedric Benson and most definitely Jamal Lewis.

Super Sleeper

LeSean McCoy -- Philadelphia -- I would select McCoy even if I didn't have Brian Westbrook. That is because he is one of the few backups that I can say with all certainty will get at least 2 starts this season. Westbrook has a degenerative knee, whose protective tissue is totally gone and therefore takes a pounding on every play he sees. The knee will swell up constantly and eventually, he'll need a week or two to let it get right before being able to play. McCoy was drafted as the heir apparent to Westbrook in Philly and he hasn't disappointed. The kid can run inside, outside and is an exceptional pass catcher which is a must in the Andy Reid west coast offense. He'll put up good numbers this year and could find himself as the starter with one lockup of Westbrook's knee.
