Sleeper picks are getting tougher to find. I have a few ideas at the skill positions that could lend your team a hand if you have a player injured or on a bye.

But first, how did we do last week?

Last week's sleeper picks :
Kyle Orton: 229 yards, 2 touchdowns
Jonathan Stewart: 17 carries, 110 yards, 1 touchdown
Donnie Avery: 1 catch, 17 yards, 1 touchdown
Brandon Pettigrew: Nothing

Not terrible. Avery could have had a bigger day had he not left to injury so early in the game.

 

Matt Cassel, QB, Chiefs

Cassel has been a disappointment thus far in Kansas City, but this week he is up against a Chargers defense that is no longer intimidating.

The Chiefs got their first victory last week against the Redskins and will try and continue their winning ways and Cassel will be the key. Expect a shoot out between Cassel and Philip Rivers.

 

Justin Fargas, RB, Raiders

Fargas had a successful return against the Eagles last week, helping lead his team to a win. He is facing the Jets' defense that has not been the same since facing Miami's Wildcat offense.

The Jets will also be without nose tackle Kris Jenkins. Jenkins is a force against the run that the Jets cannot replace immediately.

 

Robert Meachem, WR, Saints

Meachem has "big play" written all over him when he steps onto the field. He is averaging over 25 yards per catch this season and facing a Miami pass defense that is near the bottom of the NFL.

Meachem should be able to beat the Dolphins deep on Sunday.

 

Jeff King, TE, Panthers

A diamond in the rough tight end is hard to find evident by last week's pick . King is facing a Bills team that may or may not be trying to win games.

The Panthers are mainly a running team, but if they get near the goal line, a play-action pass to King will be open.
