By the Numbers: Nine Sleepers for NFL Dynasty League Consideration

Quarterbacks

Michael Vick, Free Agent

Vick could be released from prison as early as late Spring, meaning just in time mini-camps and training camps. His athletic ability surely has not deteriorated to the point where he would be a useless addition to an NFL team. Someone in need of a backup quarterback could take a chance on Vick despite the obvious PR hit.

Seneca Wallace, Seahawks

Wallace has proven to be a capable NFL quarterback these last few weeks and will get another start this weekend. His stock has risen considerably down the stretch and could make for trade bait should Seattle look to unload him. If not, supplanting Matt Hasselbeck seems like a long shot but worth a look for deep league dynasty owners.

Tarvaris Jackson, Vikings

TJax once again has his hands on the wheel, and this time during the most important part of the season for Minnesota. How he handles the pressure in the postseason will go a long way toward his chances of being the Vikings starter next year, but dynasty owners should grab him now in anticipation of at least a decent showing. The risk is low here, so those owners with a shallow quarterback pool should take a(nother) chance on Jackson.

Running Backs

Jamaal Charles, Chiefs

Larry Johnson is not getting any younger nor is he getting any more favorable in Kansas City. Charles has played well in spots this season, particularly as a pass catcher out of the backfield. With the Chiefs looking to go younger, the future fantasy trio is looking more and more like Tyler Thigpen, Dwayne Bowe and Charles. As bad as Kansas City’s record has been the last two season, the fantasy outlook of that offense continues to improve.

Ryan Torain, Broncos

Torain got one opportunity to start this year and blew up. And then he got hurt, in the very same game. Given the lack of consistency at running back for Denver this year, Torain again will get his shot to earn the starting job nex
