Brian Quick-St. Louis Rams (3.7%)

In the Rams first two games of the year, their clear #1 target has been Brian Quick.  While most people focused their deep sleeper potential on teammate Kenny Britt, Quick has shown serious potential leading the team in receiving in back-to-back weeks.

On Sunday, Quick pulled in seven catches for 74 yards after hauling in seven for 99 in week one.  He hasn’t visited the end zone yet this season, but should get a boost when Shaun Hill returns potentially this week against the Cowboys.

Quick is a sleeper, but having the best receiver on a team that will trail often is a strategy that can pay off (see Josh Gordon from last year). Quick seems to be taking the famous third-year leap out of App State and makes a nice depth stash to see if he can blossom the rest of the season.  He’s not a lock for production at this point, but he does have the potential which makes him worth a pickup.
