2008 Fantasy Football Draft Kit

Sleepers

Breakouts: Quarterbacks

Aaron Rodgers - Packers - The 2005 #1 pick out California only played in two games in 2007 backing up Brett Farve and only one meaningful one, which was against the Dallas Cowboys. He went 18 for 26 for 216 yards, 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions. More importantly the Packers have rebuilt an excellent team around him. Great young receivers Gregg Jennings, James Jones, #2 draft pick Jordy Nelson and veteran Donald Driver to go along with a very good offensive line and running back Ryan Grant. The pieces are their for Rodgers to be quality fantasy quarterback and a very cheap draft price.
Matt Leinart - Cardinals - He seemed to be on the road to stardom before slumping and then being injured. Kurt Warner filled in and played very well and has a chance to be the starter. But if Leinart does start, it means he could do as good and potentially better than Warner's 2007 numbers. With 2 big-time receivers to throw to (Fitzgerald and Boldin) any Cardinal quarterback can come up big in 2008.
Trent Edwards - Bills - In 2007 he took over for J.P. Losman and played solid football. He is a very accurate passer, but needs to expand his deep game and take advantage of WR Lee Evans. He is likely no better than a back-up in 2008, but you never know the next Romo or Anderson is going to come from.
Drew Stanton - Lions - Pure gambling here. The Lions have great receivers and Kitna is slowly taking the steps into a veteran back-up role, though he is probably a year away. The 2007 second-round draft pick from Michigan could get a shot if Kitna fails or goes down with injury.
JaMarcus Russell - Raiders - We know Russell has talent, but can he perform up to fantasy standards in 2008? Probably not, but with his talent he is worth a late-round gamble.
J.T. O'Sullivan - 49ers - Sometimes a sleeper is just a late-round gamble. After 2007 there is little to get excited about with the 49ers. With that said, O'Sullivan beat out the former #1 overall pick Alex Smith and with Isaac Bruce, Bryant Johnson and Vernon Davis as targets in a Mike Martz offense, you never know what could happen.

Breakouts: Wide Receivers

Calvin Johnson - Lions - Obvious, but by definition Johnson is set to have a breakout 2008 season. Having Roy Williams on the other side takes some shine off his potential stats, but in 2008 Johnson just make take over as the #1 target in Detroit.
Justin Gage - Titans - He came on strong in the second half of the season for Tennessee. At 6-4 he potential makes a great end zone target. If Vince Young takes the next step as a QB, Gage will likely take the step with him.
Bryant Johnson - 49ers - The former #1 draft pick is finally out of the shadows cast by Fitzgerald and Boldin. He is now the #1 man in San Francisco. He should at least be a fantasy back-up, but if Alex Smiths blossoms (big if) Johnson could be a star.
D.J. Hackett - Panthers - Was set for a breakout season in 2007, but injuries plagued him. His prone to injury is a concern in 2008, but if he remains healthy and Jake Delhomme returns as a legitimate fantasy quarterback, Hackett could shine.
Jabar Gaffney - Patriots - He is a very underrated possession receiver, before last season. With the departure of Stallworth, Gaffney may now be the patriots 3rd receiver, which in New England can turn up big stats. He will do better in points per receptions leagues.
Donte' Stallworth - Browns - His move to the Browns gives him a chance to get some more looks, even though Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow will see most of the action. Bottom line is the Browns have a big-time offense and their second receiver should be a solid fantasy play.
Sidney Rice - Vikings - Played very well as a rookie and would be higher rated if not for the signing of Bernard Berrian. At the same time Berrian provides cover for Rice and if Jackson can develop as quarterback, Rice could be a solid back-up fantasy receiver.

Breakouts: Running Backs

Selvin Young - Broncos - The job seems to be his and his alone with the departure of Travis Henry which could mean a 1,500 yards season. But then again, Mike Shanahan probably has some unheard of free agent who will pop up or the Broncos 5th-round pick Ryan Torain will be a find or you have the worries of a mixed back field that includes veteran Michael Pittman in the mix.
Michael Turner - Falcons - No surprise here, just a reminder that LaDainian Tomlinson's top-flight back-up is now a starter in Atlanta
