Sneaky Pickups

It's Wednesday again, time for sneaky pickups.  As always, these are guys that should be available in your league.  The point here is to pounce a week or two before these guys blow up, making them much harder to acquire.

I think former sneaky pickup Jamaal Charles in the add of the week.  LJ is a moron and may not ever play for the Chiefs again.  Charles should be next in line.  However, it'll cost you to acquire him.  Here are three guys it may not cost so much to bring on board.

Kolby Smith, RB, Chiefs
Are we sure that Charles is going to get all the carries in Johnson's absence?  When LJ has gone down before, Smith has been as much of a part of the offense, if not more, than Charles.

Malcom Floyd, WR, Chargers
Floyd is oh so close to taking the starting job from the over-the-hill Chris ChambersFloyd is big enough (6'5) to do some major damage in the red zone to go along with the production he can add from being on the field more between the 20s.  The Chargers are a pass first team now.

Brandon Tate, WR, Patriots
Tate, a talented rookie from North Carolina (many thought he was a better NFL prospect than fellow Tar Heel Hakeem Nicks until Tate tore up his knee as a senior), is on track to grab the #3 WR job in New England.  Sunday was his first game back from that knee injury.

Cheers,
TFAM
