What little-known or young WRs do you think will have a viable fantasy impact this year?
Justin Gage, Keary Colbert, Justin McCariens
These aren't unknown, but they are young and somewhat sleepers.
Kelley Washington has a chance to do big things in Cincy. OF course right now he is the third WR, but I'd consider him a sleeper. If he gets a chance due to injury or poor performance, then he could be a good one.
If KJ or Travis Taylor gets injured or struggle, Devon Darling on Balt. is a guy to watch.
The Broncos are really high on Darius Watts.
Bobby Wade and Justin Gage are WRs to watch in Chi-town
Who knows, maybe this is the year D. Terrell breaks out.
Lee Evans is going to get lots of playing time (I guess it's obvious to watch all the 1st rounder WRs this season like Reggie Williams in Jax and Michael Jenkins in Atl. and ).
Andre Davis in Cleveland.
Don't forget McCaerins, a lot of people have forgotten about him.
Keep an eye on Brandon Lloyd and Rashawn Woods of course.
Gari Scott was poised for big things. Too bad the 'Skins cut him.
there's a guy named...uhhh...JIMMY Thrash out of washington that is going to set the league on fire! :paranoid

what is considered a viable fantasy impact? thanks for narrowing it down and allowing me to answer the question ;)
Jackass. Viable as in capable of putting up enough points to be a marginal to good starter in a 3 WR league during the season.
Wingpsan is right. Almost no one took him in any league, but Thrash is still capable of 600 yards and 3 TDs. Not bad for a waiver-wire pickup at the right time. He'll be one of the first to be added in many leagues as a replacement for an injured WR. Thrash will be the third WR with Coles and Gardner attracting the double teams. He'll get his catches.
not trying to sound like a homer or anything, but darnerian mccants is a great redzone wideout. he tied coles for 6 TD's for the skins last year. being that he's usually in during nickel defenses, most nickel corners have a difficult time matching up with DM's size. he was the only skin i had on my fantasy team last year, and it worked good for me. of course, the league i was in started 2 wideouts, and then had extra options for a wr/rb, and a wr/te, so he was never one of my top 2. just a suggestion.
Donte Stallworth...remember that i said this!
A lot of these aren't really "sleepers", per se. :-D
how about rae carruth?
i bet he's available :sly

And your point is...? Do you plan to enlighten us with your own contribution, or do the Gari Scott joke and this pissy little comment represent the best you can do?
Sorry, I consider a "sleeper" a player that has a chance to go undrafted or get dropped in a 10-team league, but might end up being a solid contributor.
For instance (and I was actually able to get these guys), these would be players like...
Drew Bennett (many people just haven't heard of him)
Johnnie Morton (injury not as bad as some people think, also Boerigter injured)
Keenan McCardell (WHEN he signs, he will produce)
Deion Branch/David Givens (will be the top two receivers on a pass-happy team with a great, accurate QB)
Reggie Williams
Roy Williams
Dennis Northcutt
Kevin Johnson
He is in Baltimore. He's their only good WR (Taylor sucks).
Quincy Morgan is still out there in this league. What do you think of his chances?
Not that I have much roster space-- I'm hording a ton of quality RBs....lol. On my roster:
Michael Bennett
Kevin Jones
Thomas Jones
Chris Brown
Lee Suggs
William Green
Lamar Gordon

I gave a bunch of young guys that may or may not get drafted, and could put up numbers if given the chance. Guys that most likely will get a chance during the season to make things happen, but as of right now most people won't draft them.
You put a bunch of vets and starters. Nice sleepers :boo
Although Deion Branch is a definate guy to watch. Troy Brown is hurt AGAIN, and Branch has the chance to take over as the #1 WR there. I wouldn't necessarily call him a sleeper, but someone you should definately pick up if he is on the wire.
Branch is going to be excellent. Only problem is Brady spreads the ball around more than Tara Reid's legs.
Think Eric Parker will do anything? He and Morgan are still out there....
Right now, I have R. Moss, L. Fitzgerald, M. Booker, D. Terrell on my roster.
Robert Ferguson GB
Most don't even realize he's the #1 WR there this year. Hell most websites don't even have that right.
Watch for Bret to hook up with him on those Carolina corners on Sunday. Big day
He's still on the waiver wire in a lot of leagues, won't be next week.
#1 isn't everything. Who was the Eagles' #1 receiver last year? :boom
Lee Evans!!
one of my favorite players.
