With the start of the regular season fast approaching, there are some players quickly emerging as sleepers.  You may find them available as free agents or great late round values, if you haven't drafted yet.  We'll start with the running  backs that were off the radar prior to the pre-season, but are now being recognized as possible key contributors. 

This Week's Picks
BenJarvus Green-Ellis will be the Patriots leader in carries, yards and TDs this season.  He has averaged 6.2 yards per carry in the pre-season and is surging past veterans Sammy Morris, Fred Taylor and Laurence Maroney.  He is going undrafted in many leagues due to the crowded backfield or drafted very late in others.  In 2008, he was on his way to a very nice rookie season until an injury derailed him, but it appeared that Bill Belichik was trusting him.   How can you not trust someone with four names?

Cleveland rookie James Davis is getting considerable buzz lately to possibly unseat Jamal Lewis as the starter.  Even if that doesn't happen in week one, it's worth grabbing the Browns' 6th round draft pick to take over at some point, similar to how Steve Slaton overtook a washed-up Ahman Green early last season in Houston. 

It's looking like Michael Bush is going to get the most carries in Oakland over Darren McFadden (who has been shockingly ineffective this pre-season) and Justin Fargas.  Bush will lead the Raiders in rushing yards and TDs.
