which may mean he has more success via the air

Best can catch the ball well, which may mean he has more success via the air than the ground as a rookie. He has value, but relying on him as an every week starter is overly optimistic. Instead, Best is an ideal No. 3 fantasy back with some upside as a rookie.7 C.J. Spiller, Bills Because my wife is a Clemson grad, I've seen a ton of Spiller's replica Omega 3534.74 watch college career, and he's a fine player. He's explosive as a runner, receiver, and returner, and he can carry the load between the tackles more than some might expect. But while he was the ninth overall pick in the draft, he ended up in a terrible spot for running backs.

With Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch around for now (though Lynch could be cut or dealt by the opening of the season), Spiller's chances will be limited. And even if Spiller gets carries, they will be behind a below average offensive line with a below average quarter back. Throw in bad Buffalo weather, and it's clear that the cards are stacked replica Omega 2262.50 watch against Spiller becoming a fantasy stud as a rookie. He's worth a shot as a No. 4 fantasy back just because he can fill in and make one big play in any given week to make him a spot starter, but expecting more out of him this season is unwise because of the morass that is the Bills offense.

7 (con't) Montario Hardesty, Browns If there's a sleeper rookie who will be available on Tier?4 who has the upside to have a Steve Slaton type of rookie year, it's Hardesty, a second round pick from Tennessee who goes into a decent situation in Cleveland. While holdover Jerome Harrison finished the season strong, he hasn't been a reliable replica Omega 1202.30 watch back through his career, and so Hardesty beating him out is at least on the table. Hardesty is a big banger who will run behind a line that features standouts in OLT Joe Thomas and C Alex Mack. Keep an eye on Hardesty's progression through training camp, and be prepared to pounce in your draft in search of a sleeper even?if you have to do so on Tier 3.(Best, Spiller, and Hardesty fall on Tier 3.
