The fantasy football 2014 season is about to get fully started and for fantasy owners in drafts, some of the best fantasy football sleepers include Ben Tate, Zac Stacy, Justin Hunter, Michael Floyd, Kendall Wright, Shane Vereen, Terrence Williams, Lamar Miller and Rashad Jennings, while names like Andre Williams, Stevan Ridley, Hakeem Nicks and Harry Douglas are also solid options.
Tate has the chance to be a starting running back after his time with the Houston Texans, as he is now with the Cleveland Browns and should be the feature back behind Brian Hoyer at QB. The team traded away Trent Richardson last season and now Tate comes in along with Terrance West as the running backs and that should give him a chance to breakout. Tate had 771 yards on the ground last season and two years ago he had 942 yards while coming in for an injured Arian Foster.
Tate had a solid preseason and he could be a good sleeper pick past the main running backs in one of the middle rounds. Justin Hunter has the chance to be a solid option along with Kendall Wright and both of those players are sleeper picks and the way they perform may depend on the QB situation in Tennessee. The Titans are expected to use Hunter quite a bit and Wright has been called a breakout candidate by many heading into this season.
Wright has been picked higher in drafts and Hunter comes in after playing in 14 games last season and making 18 catches for 354 yards and four touchdowns. Hunter also had eight catches for 164 yards and two touchdowns coming from three wideout formations and he could be a very good option this year. Wright is looked at a potential number one with Nate Washington and he comes in after a very strong season that saw him catch 94 balls for over 1,000 yards and two touchdowns.
Shane Vereen has the chance to be a major sleeper and that comes after he was injured last season and played in just eight games. Vereen could put up starter numbers if he stays healthy and it comes after he had 47 catches for 427 yards and he also had 208 yards rushing. Stacy had a strong season last year and he is poised to do it again, as he should be the number one running back this season for the Rams. Last season Stacy had 973 yards on the ground and he also grabbed 26 balls for 141 receiving yards.
Michael Floyd has also been called a sleeper by many and he could step up to be an equal with LArry Fitzgerald depending on how the season goes. Floyd has been strong and he had his best season last year with 66 catches for over 1,000 yards and five touchdowns. The Cardinals are going to air it out and he could be the recipient of many balls from Carson Palmer.
