James White. Guy gets no love, but I'll take him in the later rounds without hesitation. He's my personal favorite 'sleeper'. Only real knock on him is his size, but at 5'9/205, he's not tiny. Looks to have a decent thickness to his build and has all the skills needed at the next level.

I second this. Terrance West can be the next Zac Stacy.

Oh yeah, thats a good one. Watched almost all of his college touches, kid is good. Great receiver and blocker. Not a power runner but good between the tackles. Good but not great speed with great vision and some nice wiggle to his game. Really just a solid all around player. In the right situation he could definitely contribute, though i doubt he'll ever be a bell cow kind of back.

I really like James White also. Think he has great skills. Doesn't have a lot of tread on the tires due to playing with Ball and Gordon.

Sims looks really good to me as well.

Love Terrence West, and if I can get him in the early 3rd, I'm on that like white on rice.

tim flanders SHSU .... thought he looked a bit small on tape but measured out about same size as sankey freeman mason more or less
really think he maybe will be UDFA but has requisite skill set to contribute.

Second Jeremy Hill and Tim Flanders. Both guys I've got my eye on as far as landing spot.

First, I'll add a new name the list: Andre Williams, Boston College. He's a bruiser that keeps his legs churning more than just about any RB in the draft and has a knack for finishing strong and falling forward. That's a trait I love in my RBs and (in my eyes) more than makes up for his relative lack of "wiggle." He's by no means going to be a Top 5 back in the NFL, but in the right situation, I could see him settling nicely into a role and two down power back and making some owner very happy.

Lastly, I'm not nearly as sold on Terrance West as everyone else seems to be. From the tape I've watched I see a guy who does will in space, but isn't dynamic between the tackles. That's not to say he won't find a nice landing spot where he might be a role player but with the way his hype train is rolling, I just know he's going to get taken way before I'd be comfortable.

Is it me or does Charles Ross RB Rice University, look like Brandon Jacobs 2.0. Just noticed him on the 2014 rookie draft board and watched some film on him. He is a brusing beast with sweet feet. And not bad long speed 6'2" 230 (4.58) for a back his size. May be an UDFA but this is the type of runner I love watching Sunday's and he will get a shot imo. Shot out to the Ghost for the info.
I only play in 16x53 with 10+ taxi size leagues with full IDP. All are PPR and most value return yardage. So my opinions may be skewed To these deep roster leagues.

Dynasty Fantasy is not a game, it’s a full time hobby.

this guy was high on my list for 2 years but he is isn't sleeping its more like he is catatonic I have heard absolutely zero buzz
if he gets a shot and makes a roster then I would be back in but he may be an udfa and get little to no shot in camp

I thought Raijun Neal - Tennessee looked very elusive with power, on film, also boasting the 215 lb. frame I look for for the next Marion Barber type runner. I've probably got him ranked too high, but if he lands in a weak zone like the Dolphins, Falcons, or even the Titans, watch out.

How deep we talking? I think Freeman and Williams are seriously underrated compared to the other guys in the top couple tiers.

But for deep sleepers, I drafted Kapri Bibbs, Henry Josey, Stephen Houston, and both the fast midgets late (DAT and Archer) although one or both might be WR's (hopefully).
