Under the Radar (for now)

Drafting a fantasy football team can be pretty easy – at least in the first few rounds. If you’re picking No. 1, you’re taking Chris Johnson this year.
Anyone can stick to a rating sheet and have fairly good success in the early rounds.
But what about some of those guys you’ve never heard of whom you may pass on because a bigger “name” is out there.
Sometimes it’s better to have an eye on some lesser-known names you may be able to steal in later rounds. Some of these names may unfortunately jump to a higher level of prominence throughout training camp and exhibition games, but they're worth keeping an eye on if they dont.
Here are a few to keep on your radar:

Montario Hardesty, RB, Cleveland
Jerone Harrison hasn’t signed his contract tender yet, meaning the the rookie out of Tennessee is at least getting the chance to nudge his way into some carries.
Before last season, Harrison was a little-known name, and what’s to say he wasn’t a one-year fluke?
The 5-11 1/2, 225-pound Hardesty is considered a “banger” by the Browns and could end up stealing some goalline carries and will like steal some others along the way. He’s not a bad fourth or fifth running back option on your roster and could wind up being a good No. 2 back or flex option by the end of the season.

Derek Anderson, QB, Arizona Cardinals
Yes, I know you invested a somewhat early-round pick on Anderson in 2008 only to have him on the waiver wire in a matter of weeks.
But take a look at the Cardinals’ situation under center, and Anderson could turn into a more-than-viable backup signal caller for your team. With Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston to throw to, Anderson could look like his 2008 self when Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow were catching a load of passes.
Obviously, Anderson will have to beat out Matt Leinart for the starting job, but Leinart hasn’t exactly been a dominant NFL QB during his time in the league.
Monitor the situation, but don’t be shy about making Anderson one of your last picks in this year’s draft if Leinart plays like he has in recent years.

Early Doucet, WR, Arizona Cardinals
Obviously, the quarterback situation will play into his performance this season, but with Breaston and Fitzgerald as the Nos. 1 and 2 receiving options, Doucet could be in for a third-wheel performance a la Breaston in recent years.
The third-year receiver will have the opportunity to be on the field a lot in three-receiver sets, but one can only hope Leinart or Anderson doesn’t rely too heavily on Fitzgerald – a likely assumption, because who wouldn’t rely on his sticky fingers?
Doucet could be a good first-off-your-bench receiver find in late rounds.

Alge Crumpler, TE, New England Patriots
He was once considered one of the top tight ends in the league (outside of the Antonio Gates, Tony Gonzalez group at the top), but his numbers have fallen considerably in recent years.
A change of scenery didn’t make him a star in Tennessee, but a new scenery that has Tom Brady throwing you the football doesn’t hurt.
The Pats did draft two tight ends this offseason, but Crumpler looks to be primed for a starting role in Foxboro this fall.
This has the makings of a bounce-back season for Crumpler, but a lot depends on how much Brady relies on Wes Welker and Randy Moss – and to a lesser extend Julian Edelman.
He’s worth a third-to-last round pick because your kicker and defense should be found in those last two rounds.
