Alright, this is the 4th of 8 installments breaking each team’s fantasy sleepers, busts and a former player/fantasy stud that they wish they still had and you wish was still playing. We will now move onto the AFC West: (Also, you can click on anything blue and get a link, including my new feature Team Cheerleaders at the bottom of each team)
Denver Broncos: My first gripe with them is their helmets, they had one of the classic helmets in the league and ruined it by throwing a picture of a horse's head being ripped off its torso. The second gripe is that everyone there says, "The Broncos have a bigger home field advantage because we have less air and the team is used to it". Really, you have less air? Umm, isn't air everywhere? Are there cases of you taking a walk and hitting a pocket of "No Air" and screaming "I cant Breathe!" and then you take a step to the right and "Oh, I'm Ok"?
Sleeper: Travis Henry - Everyone knows that Denver running backs get a lot of yards. So this should increase Henry's career 2.3 yards per rush up to 2.6 and therefore Denver can run him every play and get a first down.
Bust: Rod Smith - He is currently on the Physically Unable To Perform List. Hopefully this isn't a list he is on at home with his wife.
Former Player: John Elway - He was a horse for the course. If your league was a 4th quarter only league, he was a star. Also a car dealer, i wonder if his cars have Air?
Cheerleaders
Kansas City Chiefs: Alright, first and foremost, do not miss a Chiefs game this year. Kyle Turley is on the team and he might just rip someones head off and show it to him. Wait, i guess if he rips the head off, he really cant show it to him. They also don't have a QB depth chart, so that either means that they have 6 #5 QB's or they have no QB at all, in which Larry Johnson is going to run over and recover a lot of fumbles.
Sleeper: Priest Holmes - Has the potential to be the best RB ever with a religious name, as long as he can gain 48 more yards to pass Catholic McBuddism.
Bust: Any WR - This group is less recognizable than a cast member of a Fox Comedy not named the Simpsons.
Former Player: Christian Okoye - The Nigerian Nightmare, I am guessing that the people of Nigeria have other nightmares, like getting food.
Cheerleaders:
Oakland Raiders: I think the highlight of the Raiders organization has been the fact that they have been the owner of Tecmo Bo. The greatest running back in video game history. The cool thing about this is that he teamed with Marcus Allen and he is never mentioned on that video game team. I am pretty sure when Marcus bought his first Nintendo that you could trade players he traded Bo for a punter.
Sleeper: Sebastian Janikowski - If your league awards points for yards kicked on FG attempts than he would be golden, because i think most of his FG will be from 70+ yards and he might make one of them. I really cant imagine any situation that the Raiders get within the opposing 40 yard line
Bust: Daunte Culpepper - Has a chance to be the next Vince Evans, OK, no he doesn't.
Former Player: Mark Van Eeghen - I wonder if there has ever been a time that an opposing Defensive Coordinator said the words "OK guys, we have to prepare for Mark Van Eeghan this week" and not laughed.
Cheerleaders
San Diego Chargers: I never understood why Eli Manning didn't want to play here. They are successful, it is warm 341 days of the year, girls in bikini's on the beach, and yeah, it is freakin nice here. I guess he was afraid the girls would see his freakishly white body and make fun of him, as well as make fun of every one of his other qualities.
Sleeper: Antonio Gates - Now you say, "How can he be a sleeper". Draft him as a WR. He will pick up more points than your second WR anyways and you still can draft Jeremy Stevens and his .28 points per week.
Bust: Vincent Jackson - He was high on all the experts lists. Obviously they didn't look at his weight: 241 lbs. Unless SD has a lot of "Run 10 yards, stop at the donut shop and then do a curl", my guess is he won't catch many passes, well actually after 15 minutes the QB will probably be sacked.
Former Player: Marion Butts. Just had to say it, still makes me laugh.

OK, we will hit the NFC next, and just for a bonus
