Tight ends have been key to Broncos turnaround
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer Tight ends are no longer an afterthought in Denver's passing game.
In 2009, they had all of 27 catches.

Week 8 Sleepers
Hopefully you listened to most our sleeper picks last week, and ignored the Kendall Wright advice. Yea, he was a big disappointment despite a great match up as he only had 3 catches for 19 yards. Hopefully all the sleepers will exceed expectations this week!

He is facing the Vikings who allow the 11thmost fantasy points to QB’s. Coming off a “breakout” performance for CJhmmK, perhaps Hasselbeck can provide a spark to this offense with the impending return of Kenny Britt, after he missed week...
