We have recently given you some excellent fantasy football sleeper picks and now we want to highlight a few players that you should probably stay away from.Quarterbacks:
1. Derek Anderson-Sure he threw 29 touchdown passes last season and over 3700 yards but that was one year. In the 2nd half of last season Anderson threw more interceptions then TD passes. I would stay away from this one year wonder. I think 21 TD passes this season is more realistic.
2. Vince Young- All they hype about this guy and he is an absolute joke. It makes me laugh when they try to compare him to Donovan McNabb. Let's keep this real simple boys and girls. Mr.Young couldn't throw a football to save his life. Only 9 TD passes to go with 17 picks last season. Are you kidding me? When I read those stats I thought it was a misprint. Stay away form this guy and all the hype, cause they hype aint worth
the pick and neither is he.
Running backs:
1. Frank Gore- I know what you thinking. This guy has all the tools to become a great back and you would be right. There is one problem here...Mike Martz is the offensive coordinator of the 49ers now. Last year when Martz was the offensive coordinator, the Lions ran for only 1288 yards. Last season their were four players on there respective teams that ran for more yards then that total. You see what I'm getting at. This guy hates to run the ball. I seriously doubt Gore will gets 20 plus carriers on a regular basis.
2. Edgerrin James- Who knows how much James has left in him. Word around Arizona is they might take some carries from him to keep him fresh at the season goes on. James used to be one of the best running backs in the league. Now is just a mediocre back. Stay away from him at all costs.
3. Stephen Jackson-As talented as Jackson I still think he will be a bust this year. Certain questions remain about the Rams offensive line and the health of Marc Bulger. Jackson missed four games last season and held out until mid August trying to get a new contract. He now has his new contract, I'm just not sure about the rest of the supporting cast.
4. Larry Johnson-Here is another great player, but talk about bad pieces around you. There is no hope with either Huard or Croyle at QB. The offensive line is a joke. The only thing positive here is that Johnson should be fresh to start the year. He missed the last 8 games of the season with a foot injury.
Wide Receivers:
1. Chad Johnson....I mean Ocho Cinco- You know I love this guy. I really do but I would love him even more if he kept his mouth shut. Please just play football and do what you do best, catch footballs. Ugh, this guy is a nightmare. Every year there is some clown in your fantasy league taking him way to early in the draft. Sometimes he goes before the likes of Reggie Wayne or Steve Smith. His stats look great, but with the torn labrum and who knows what type of distraction he will be this season I would just pass on him. Let him be someone else's headache.
2. Anquan Boldin-All off season Boldin has complained about wanting a new contract. Larry Fitzgerlad got paid and now he wants his. Well guess what, your not getting it so move on and play. Boldin has the talent to be a number one on any team. The problem I see with him that scares me is his attitude. After having a career games against the Ravens last season Boldin sat out three games with a hip pointer. At the time it didn't seem like it would hold him out longer then one game, but every week came and gone and Boldin declared himself unfit to play. In week 16 versus the Falcons, Boldin has a superb game, but for most of the 2nd half his stats were just decent. I wouldn't mind having Boldin on my team, but I'm not going to waste an early pick on him. Wait until the 5th rounder or later to get him.

Every year I take Chad Johnson just because he can have really great moments. I dont like his attitude much either but the guy can play ball and grab points. You are correct though..he is just a nightmare player.
