Third-year WRs that matter

Throughout my fantasy football career, I've always heard about this "magical third year" for WRs, when supposedly everything clicks for them and they become fantasy factors. Since this theory has held water pretty often in recent years (Steve Smith, Javon Walker, Lee Evans, Roy Williams, plenty more that I don't feel like linking to), here's a short list of the third year receivers going into the 2007 season that could take the next step this year:

Frank Gore < Shaun Alexander

I will pick Alexander over Gore if given the chance in a draft this year, and it seems like I'm one of the few who would (I'm somehow with Funston on this one). I think this is indicative of a mental flaw most fantasy players (and experts) have: Short memories. Yes, Gore's 2006 season was nothing short of friggin' stellar, while Alexander sat a big chunk of it out with a broken foot. But let's put last year aside and look at these two players' last five years.

2007 Fantasy Football Sleepers

Last updated: 8/21/07

Although it pains me to write this article, knowing that all of my opponents in my four fantasy football leagues could potentially read it, I felt it necessary to enlighten people as to my predicted sleepers of the season. However, I figure my superiority at watching the waiver wire will be enough to carry me past most of those amateurs, so here we go...

A committee rises in the Meadowlands?

Well, maybe not just yet, but Leon Washington sure is getting some friendly press lately, and it's making me reconsider Thomas Jones's spot on my cheat sheet. Sez Newsday:

  • Playoff leagues: Keeping the fantasy football season alive to the bitter end:
    • frank m: I'm playing at ESPN. I'm also doing weekly tournaments at www.papersports.com.
    • ffexchange: I've done my own for a while where we set a lineup each week and you can play anyone, but can only play them once. One third fantasy, one third survivor style pool, and one third guessing the games. Its not the same as the real thing, but going cold turkey isn't easy.
  • 2008 Fantasy Football Playoffs MVPs:
    • Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: Just to update the situation, it looks like the PT Cruiser may have a flat tire (i.e. he's questionable with various injuries) and does not seem to be a good play this weekend. Go with Steve Slaton and hope he can find the endzone.
    • Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: Sorry for the delay, but was busy with Christmas. Hope yours is going well too. Anyways, in terms of your questions there...I'd go with Thigpen and Pierre Thomas. It looks like Boldin will be questionable for this weekend, so I'd keep him out of your lineup just in case. If Hixon and Ginn are...
    • e-roc: @Brandon - Go figure I'm in the office and reading blogs... Anyway, I have both Manning & Wayne so my conundrum is this: QB - Thigpen @ Cin or Garcia v. Oak? RB - PT Cruiser v. CAR , Slaton v. CHI or McClain v. Jax? WR - Do you know if Boldin...
    • Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @e-roc: I'm not generally in favor of starting players on teams that are playing for nothing and it seems that Indy is one of the worst culprits of this (maybe because they are always in the playoffs?) If you have someone like Peyton Manning, you may try to find a suitable replacement, as he'll probably...
    • e-roc: @Brandon - somehow I managed to own just two of the names above and still came away with the wins down the stretch. Any thoughts/recommendations on teams like Indy who will probably be sitting starters in Week 17?
  • Quick Hits (and Misses): Colts @ Jaguars:
    • Brandon (FFGeekBlog): @JT: Yeah DeAngelo Williams went off huh?! I'm not sure what either the Texans or Jets were trying to do on Sunday, but it just wasn't working for them. The Patriots almost pitched the shutout, but that garbage time touchdown probably took a few points from you. See you next season!
