Week 6 All-Sleeper Team
QB - Damon Huard: It looked like Brodie Croyle would be going for Huard, but Herm Edwards says Huard is all healed up and ready to go against a horrible Cincinnati secondary. Most likely available, could put up some good points this weekend.
RB - Kenny Watson: Mentioned him in a past post, could be starting with Rudi Johnson missing an entire week of practice. Averaging 5.2 yards a carry this year, he'll be going against a below average KC run defense. Could come up huge in a game that may turn into a potential shoot out.
RB - Jason Wright: Another guy missing a whole week of practice is Jamal Lewis, meaning Wright will most likely get the start. He's averaging 5.4 a carry and will be going against a bad Miami run defense. Excellent sleeper.
WR - Nate Burleson: With Deion Branch out, Burleson will make the start & will be going against a pretty bad St. Louis Rams secondary. Started out hot the first 3 weeks, then went up against some stiff secondaries in San Francisco & Pittsburgh & cooled off. Should be able to expose the Rams though.
WR - Brandon Jones: Been hurt all week but Jeff Fisher says he will play. He's the Titians leading receiver & Vince Young's more reliable target. Going against a tough Tampa Bay secondary, but most likely there aren't any other receivers that lead their team in receiving that are available.
WR - Ike Hilliard: Has surpassed Michael Clayton on the team's depth chart and has responded with 15 catches the last 2 weeks combined. Becoming a favorite target of Jeff Garcia and still widely available, a good play despite the tough matchup.
TE - Alex Smith: I said last week he was most likely the best available free agent TE & he responded with 2 TD's! I'm picking him again even though I don't expect 2 TD's. Seems to be a reliable red zone target, but will be hit or miss every week.
K - Dave Rayner: I mentioned the Cincy-KC game might turn into a shoot out, so Rayner stands to benefit if that does hold true. He's only 6 for 8 on attempts this year, but 3 of those makes are from 40 yards or beyond. A good choice this week.
DEF - NY Giants: A suddenly improved Giants defense will be going up against one of the worst scoring offenses in the league in Atlanta. They will be playing in Atlanta, but don't let that deter you from using them this week.

Not so sure Huard is all healed up
I guess we have to take his word for it. I still dont think Brodie is the one yet either. But how does he get the experience he needs if he never plays. He could be a great if he could get some play experience, but do we KC fans want to suffer a major loss of a season to get him the experience he needs? I doubt it.
