Jerome Harrison is a sleeper

Like a poor man's Jerious Norwood, Jerome Harrison has toiled in the shadows of fantasy football the last two years, with a fancy 6.8 yards-per-carry average on only 57 rushes. Eric Mangini hinted Thursday Harrison will see a lot more action this year, possibly on first and second down.

FootballOutsiders' Aaron Schatz listed Harrison as one of his breakout possibilities in our magazine, possibly because someone will have to replace Jamal Lewis' declining production. Lewis worked exclusively with trainers Thursday as he recovers from ankle surgery, but it's clear his role and skill set are declining.

On an offense with as many question marks as Cleveland, I want no part of Lewis and even Harrison is only worth a look late in PPR leagues. At best, he'll be like Leon Washington. Hoping for more is pushing it.

Lewis was taken among the top 50 picks last year by owners hoping for him to put up 300 workmanlike carries, like he did in 2007. I'd put the over/under this year closer to 200. I have some thoughts about who could be this year's version of '06 Lewis (heavy workload, mediocre production, but has value at the right cheapest possible price), but I'll save it for another post. Let's see if you can guess.

It better not be LJ, McGahee, Maroney, or Benson.

Too easy- LJ

Ryan grant.


I'd guess Benson, LJ, or Julius Jones.

Unless Bernard Scott outplays his expectations, Benson will have NO threat for carries. Combine his 3.7 career per carry average with relatively fresh legs and the Bungles' desire to have a god-we-hope-he's-healthy Palmer NOT decimated dropping back on every offensive play, and you define mediocre.

It's me. Let's go for a boat ride to celebrate. Who gots the brewskies?
