best kept secrets

[whodunnit]

I know a lot of us are hesitant to reveal some lower end guys that we believe in, as an attempt to score the desired 'sleeper' player. For those of you willing to share, who are some bottom end guys that you think are talented, but have pre-draft faults. Maybe they played at a small school, or didn't get targeted much, but looked great when they did. Maybe it's a no. 2 RB that looks on tape like he could have been utilized more effectively to you. Maybe it's a guy who's stat-line doesn't quite match the way he plays and you feel you're one of the only people that believes in him.

A guy for me that is currently being projected to be drafted in round 7. WR Tanner Gentry out of Wyoming. Posted a 72/1326/14 stat-line last year, is 6'2" 210 and ran a 4.56 40.

Interesting! Now I see why you made our rookie drafts 10 rounds long

haha, yeah. I like taking a gamble on some of those 'upside' guys. My guy last year was Mike Thomas (Rams)

[clarion contrarion]

like gentry a bit but really like Te jacob hollister his teammate , I think in a normal TE class he is around 12 maybe 15 and I have not seen him ranked hardly anywhere in the top 25 or 30 TE. Josiah Price MSU TE same thing . Alonzo Moore WR nebraska - very little tape to watch but he just seems like a really solid player.

Mack Hollins. I got him in round 6 of GEDL, he's not even in the MFL database.

He has great size and moves well. He's a project, but he could go in round 3. Almost all of the mock drafts and rankings from "experts" don't even list him.

Speaking of Nebraska, Cethan Carter, TE. Guy was a playmaker when his QB was able to find him which was somewhat of a rarity.

dude, 6'4" 221 and ran a 4.53 I like it.

And because of his status as a special teams ace, he will definitely get drafted or at least sign with a team early on, and he will stick on a 53 man roster most likely. That's a huge advantage over guys like Key Garrett who are great prospects on paper but are very boom bust to an NFL exec's eyes.

Huge bonus for most teams now. to be honest, his size is why I'm so high on Smelter. I think 6'2"-6'4" around 215-225 is perfect for a no.1 option if they have the speed and hands to go along. generally in the 4.4-4.5 range and 9.5" or so hands. Usually if all those boxes are checked I will gladly pick them up, especially if it's cheap/free to do so.

How long do you hang on to these types on your roster?

What do need to see from them during camp?

Personally, I like to play in leagues deep enough to where these guys merit a roster spot on my team as long as they earn a spot on their team's active roster.

I really like Joe Williams. Would really like to see what round he eventuallly falls to. He has been very quiet and I think that is all the exposure in the top backs.

Same here. Most leagues I'm in I have about 10-15 WRs rostered. I'll cut a typical WR3 "upside" guy (Amendola, Humphries, Quick) and obviously guys like Agholor to roster a guy I believe in.

Tarik Cohen.

I have been super high on this kid since I found him a few months ago doing research. At first it didn't look like he was going to get drafted, but now it appears he will be a 3rd day guy, and it's only a matter of time before everyone else sees his craziness.

Darren Sproles type..

The sad thing about Tarik Cohen and the reason why teams are going to be skipping on him is the fact he said he only wants to play in the NFL for "atleast 3 years." And that seems to be his goal... Talented guy but doesn't seem like teams will want to pick someone that doesn't have the "passion" in the game.
