It's funny. I just wrote about people that were being slept on, and people to keep an eye out. But, this is going even further and revealing those unknown names (I'm also running out of ideas. If you could take like 5 seconds and put a suggestion in the comments of what you want to see for fantasy, that would be great). But, this would  put you at a greater advantage than your Fantasy enemies, so it's worth your time. 


Honorable mention: 49ers TE: Jordan Reed 

I put him here as an honorable mention because he is probably not going to even be picked up off of the waiver wire. I know he's had lots (and lots and lots and lots) of concussions and probably shouldn't even be playing. But, he still has that love for the game the every NFL player must have that drives them through adversity. Also, he's on the 49ers. They have been decimated by injuries, and he could get some playing time. Coach Shanahan could use him in the slot and they are probably going to use him when they use 2 TE sets. Another reason to be excited about him is because Jimmy Garoppolo clearly like to use his TE (especially if they are wide open because of Coach Shanahan's scheme). Those are all the reasons he is here. Moving on.


Bucs WR: Scotty Miller

I'm going to be honest, I've never heard of this guy until today. I'm writing about him right now which is Monday. I was thinking, lets go find some deep sleepers. and I stumble across his name because he was developing great chemistry with Tom Brady. That's always a good thing. Also, he has blazing speed with a 4.36 40 and great agility too with a 4.02 shuttle. He has been making plays left and right and even the GOAT himself TB12 was praising him. Futhermore, we know what a WR3 on the Bucs can do with Perriman lighting it up last year. I decided to watch his 2019 highlights (which weren't many) and boy does he have some wheels. He's just all around going to explode. No need to explain further. ONWARD!!!


Pats RB: Damian Harris

Here's a guy who's been creating some buzz recently. Yes he was taken in the 3rd round of the NFL Draft last year, But, he didn't get that much usage. He literally had 4 rushes for 12 yards last year. Yeah. Not great. Howeeeeevvvverrrrrr, he seems to be putting together an impressive training camp this year. He could be pushing Sony Michel for the starting role. I don't think he'll be able to replace James White because White is the receiving back and 3rd down back. There is potential here for Harris though. All he has to do is impress Belichick enough to get himself some reps. Then, he can capitalize on those and earn more and more reps. 


Pats WR: Gunner Olszewski

I don't like to put 2 players from the same team on this list, but I have to. I just have to put him on here when he's the second best WR in the Patriots camp so far. But the thing is, he's only been a WR for 2 years. Gunner played CB at a DII school, then tried out for the Vikings and Patriots at a minicamp, and finally ended up with the Pats when one of their OTs retired and they had a spot open up (incredible). I do love his story (and work ethic), but that's not the reason he's on this list. It's because he has been shining in camp. He has been catching footballs way better than last year and is running better routes. It's also a good thing when veterans like Edelman are praising you. All around, a very very very promising person to keep your eye on. 


Rams WR: Van Jefferson

I know that he's not super super super unknown, but he's relativity unknown. Even I forgot he was a second round pick. But, it looks like he is ready to break out. With Cooper Kupp on one side, I think he will be able to do a lot of damage with his impeccable route running and dangerous speed. His father is a WR coach so if Jefferson needs anything on the fly, I think he has someone that is ready to help him (even from the other side of the country). It's not just how good he was in college though, he seems to be doing very well in training camp. Everyone is praising him on his maturity and his talent at WR. All in all, just a really good person to be keeping your eye on if one of your WRs is not doing very well.

Washington Football Team TE: Logan Thomas

This guy is the epitome of Hibernation, If the other guys are hibernating, he is in a deep sleep chamber that keeps him asleep until at least 3/4 of the way through the season. I do understand if you have never heard of him at least until Sunday or Monday of this week. He was drafted by the Cards 120th overall (4th round) in the 2014 NFL Draft, then he was claimed by the Dolphins off of waivers in 2015, he was claimed yet again off of waivers in 2016 by the Giants, later that year he was picked up by the Lions, 2 days later he was signed off of the Lions practice squad by the Bills, in 2019 of March, he was signed by the Lions again in 2019, and finally we are here to 2020 when he is on the Football Team. So, wild journey, but he could be good. He has made some very nice plays in camp (even though he got run over by Chase Young, but he's Chase Young. Anyone can get run over by that beast.) and he's on track to take the starting job. The next best TE they have in Jeremy Sprinkle. A plus is that they think he can block well. I think this is a recipe for SUCCESS for this 29 year old. Another thing to note is Dwayne Haskins looked very good himself the final 2 games of his rookie year sooooooooo (hinting at great things to come). 



As always, thank you for reading my post. It means so much. If you could just take a few seconds to follow by blog and/or subscribe so you don't miss any posts (I even have a calendar anyway) that would also mean a lot. Again, thanks for reading and I will see you in the next one.

Who will win? Nick Foles or Mitchell Trubisky

The answer is: Both.  Why I think this is because both have not been really good ever except for Foles in the playoffs for some reason. They both were bottom 10 QBs in like almost every stat.  Foles:  Strengths- Has been in the West Coast system before (and been very good) Can run RPOs He is familiar with the QB coach Can be accurate when there are wide open receivers (we Bears fans adore that. Other people wouldn't understand). Really good in the playoffs Weaknesses- Can be bad with a new team as we saw earlier in his career He is coming off being injured almost the entire season and has never played a full 16 game season Even when he came back he was benched for Minshew (Love that man) Trubisky:  Strengths- He can run the ball pretty darn well if he's given the chance (Watch the Cowboys vs Bears game) He didn't throw as many interception as last season (I know this is stupid, but still) He can throw on the run well He has been in this offense for more time than Fol...

Player that are hated or are looked at badly for NO REASON

"Pigskin"   by  Eric Kilby  is licensed under  CC BY-SA 2.0 Sadly, there are those players. The players that catch a lot of flak. But's its the reason that they catch it is very sad. The reason is: there is no reason. They are hated for no reason. These players are hated because of something I can't tell why. People just think their bad. Anyway, at least we're here for them, so on with the list. Allen Robinson Can someone please tell me why people don't think he's good enough. Even LADAINIAN TOMLINSON himself said that the Bears should move on from him (slamming my face into my desk). People have no respect for this guy. BUT, you must respect him. He was a top 15 WR at the least last year. This year, I see him being a top 10 (not only because I am a Bears fan) because he will have a motivated QB that is trying to keep his job. If they're smart, they'll throw it to him a good amount. If his play doesn't tell you, then his rank in the league for ...

One person to root for on every NFC North Team

Since there are no major injuries because people can't even play with each other in this current period of time we are living in, we will talk about something fun.  The NFC North. My favorite division that has some of the best players in the league such as Khalil Mack, A-Rod, Dalvin Cook, and Kenny Golladay when healthy. It is also in my opinion one the most competitive except for when they play the Lions (sorry Lions fans). But there will be those players that are unknown to most people, yet have so much potential to be great or are really good and don't get the recognition. So lets hop into it. Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images Bears: JP Holtz You all know will get to know that I love this guy because he has the mentality that everyone needs to have. Hard work and determination. He is an impressive blocker, and he can execute screens and catch passes when given the chance. You might want to refer to the Chargers vs Bears game when Holtz lined up in the backfield. Mr. Montgome...
