Here’s a slate of sleepers for you:
Matt Cassel, KC, 14 points. Oakland can make Mark Sanchez look like Joe Montana. Imagine what someone who actually has a season worth of starts under his belt can do.
Matt Hasselbeck, Sea, 14 points. His receivers are getting healthy, and Arizona is still vulnerable to a multi-pronged passing attack.
Fred Jackson, Buf, 15 points. The Buffalo running back job is turning into a straight-up time share. Both Jackson and Lynch will get theirs.
Jamal Lewis, Cle, 12 points. If he’s upright on Monday night, he’s getting the carries. God knows the Browns aren’t going to throw it 40 times, no matter who’s the quarterback or what the score is.
Knowshon Moreno, Den, 11 points. Washington just seems like it’s on the verge of throwing in the towel on this season and leaving Jim Zorn to twist in the wind.
Derrick Mason, Bal, 13 points. What I said about Washington? That goes double for the Browns defense. Eric Mangini may turn into the Douglas C. Niedermeyer of the NFL.
Sidney Rice, Min, 12 points. I don’t know if he qualifies as a sleeper, but this is my way of saying if you have any Vikings, get them into your starting lineup.
Mike Wallace, Pit, 9 points. He’s owned in only 11 percent of ESPN leagues. That’s surprising, considering the number of targets he’s gettting from Roethlisberger.
Dustin Keller, NYJ, 8 points. Sanchez, for all his shortcomings, knows how to check down on a play if the deep receiver isn’t open. That’s excellent news for the tight end.
Rob Bironas, Ten, 10 points. The Buffalo Bills’ big acquisition this offseason was T.O. Right before the start of the season, the Bills fired their offensive coordinator. Let’s just say Buffalo isn’t too motivated to play hard right now.
Falcons D/ST, 9 points. It’s possible that Jake Delhomme figures things out in time to save his Panthers from a beating here. It’s also possible that someone will deliver five free pizzas to my door in time for Sunday’s games.

Your move, chief.

What kind of numbers do you project Lewis will get? Take a crack at it, and I’ll post it up against my top running back pick. Or take a quick crack at all the sleepers, and we’ll go head-to-head!

Thanks for the comments!

Solid. He may not find the endzone, but he’s sure to get plenty of carries.

How’s this for a sleeper? How about Jamal Lewis. The Ravens defense is no longer the immovable object they were in the past. Just ask Cedric Benson. Also, the Browns haven’t been able to move the ball through the air no matter who has been lining up at quarterback. They’re going to have to run Lewis into the ground, which may not take much longer if he’s serious about retiring after this year.
