You know who they are, the people that came out of nowhere and they are dominating fantasy football My 5: DeSean Jackson, Isaac Bruce (everyone at my draft laughed when I drafted him), Jay Cutler, Kurt Warner, Eddie Royal
1. Matt Forte: I don't even think I meant to draft him at the end of the 6th round, I think time ran out and it auto-picked him for me, but man am I glad it did.
I took Bruce with my last pick. I dropped him after zero catches in week 1, then saw what he did week 2 and got him back, luckily. Then silly me, I benched him this week.
I also took Warner with a late pick and said in the chat "I can't believe Warner laster this long", and an owner replied "that's because he's soft"....that owner took Brady with his #1 pick, how's that for coincidence?
And who knew Turner would be this money? There was a run early on RB's in my draft, so I grabbed him in the 4th round, a little early I thought but the pool was getting thin of good starting RB's. It's working out nicely.
Three 2009 Money Leagues. Two 1st place, one 2nd place finish.
I drafted Brady and decided to pick Warner off the waiver wire after my draft (he had not yet been named the starter). I think a player who's benched, gets the starting job, and produces like a top 5 QB is one hell of a sleeper.
I'd also take Forte, no one drafted him in my league and he's been fabulous for my team.

But nobody expected him to be #1. In my 10 team draft I got Cutler in the 7th round and most people who got him landed him past the 5th round.
The reason I put him at number one is because of the difference between last year and this year. He is a 5th-7th round pick up who is putting up 1st round numbers.
