2011 NFL Fantasy Football Sleepers, Top 10 to Draft

#8. Ryan Torain, RB, Washington Redskins
Torain had 742 yards in just 10 games last season while averaging 4.5 yards per carry. Unlike many NFL experts, I am predicting that Torain will be the opening day starter and be able to keep his job as the primary running back option for the Redskins. Rookie Roy Helu has been very inconsistent while having one great game against Missouri when he racked up over 300 yards on 28 carries. Torain should be dirt cheap, and should turn in a solid season for your fantasy team.

#7. Mike Thomas, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Transitioning to a new quarterback is not usually a good sign for an up and coming wide receiver. Thomas hauled in 66 catches after 48 the previous season. The reason I am still hopeful for a good fantasy season from Thomas relies on the numbers. Garrard thre for over 800 yards less than he did in 2010, but Thomas gained 370 more yards on 18 more receptions and added three touchdowns to his 2010 total of just one. Having increased numbers with the decline in performance from Garrard shows that Thomas will step up to the challenge. Look for a 1,000+ yard season and around 8 touchdowns.
