Sleepers: San Diego Chargers

August 22, 11:41 PM
by Dave Del Grande, Fantasy Sports Examiner
 
 
The Chargers are so loaded offensively, the focus of camp has been on a backup -- the guy who will be first in line should LaDainian Tomlinson get hurt.

Michael Turner filled that fantasy-friendly position last year, but he's now gotten himself a nice contract in Atlanta.

So it'll be either returnee Darren Sproles or rookie Jacob Hester this time around.

Many presume Hester was drafted because Sproles is too small to carry such a load, but think about it: Who would you turn to with a Super Bowl berth on the line -- a veteran or a rookie?

Quietly, Sproles is winning the race. And with it comes a spot on fantasy rosters.

Mr. Fantasy's sleeper rating (1-to-10, 10 being highest): 4.

For more info: After Tomlinson is the first pick of the draft, then what? Check out all of Dave Del Grande's draft ratings at www.mrfantasy.com or e-mail him at dave@mrfantasy.com.
