Identifying a sleeper in fantasy football can be tough. On one hand, you want to pick somebody who’s not a known commodity, however, has the upside to surprise. Also, you are looking for a player that projects to have a much better season than they did the previous year. Instead of trying to identify your own sleepers we will take out the guess work for you in our 2010 Fantasy Football Sleeper Quarterbacks. At quarterback, you’ve got a good mix of young players on the upswing and veterans looking to bounce back. Remember, these guys are sleepers because they are not top-five or top-10 players at the position, so be sure you have a solid starter or a good safety net in place.

Chad Henne, QB, Miami Dolphins – The Miami Dolphins are known as a running team with backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams, as well as the usage of their Wildcat offense. That won’t change this year, however, expect to see a little more balance. Chad Henne took over at quarterback last season when Chad Pennington suffered a season ending injury, and Henne played adequately. He threw for 2,878 yards with 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, which are decent numbers for a first-time starter. One of the reasons Henne is intriguing entering 2010 is the way he finished last season. He threw for 300-plus passing yards in three of the Dolphins last five games and he had five touchdown passes during that span.
