The main theme coming out of Week 6 -- besides the slew of injuries wreaking havoc on fantasy lines -- is, "Who the heck is Danario Alexander?"
Undrafted out of Missouri, Alexander had the size and college resume you want from potential No. 1 receivers in the NFL. Standing 6-foot-5, Alexander had a humongous senior season, catching 113 passes for 1,781 yards and 14 TDs. Despite the big season, a knee that had multiple surgeries scared NFL teams away.
Needing a fill-in for Mark Clayton, the Rams signed Alexander off the practice squad heading into Week 6. Quarterback Sam Bradford showed confidence in the rookie leading up to the game, and he showed even more confidence on the field, connecting for four passes, including a 38-yard TD strike.
While 72 yards in a debut may not make fantasy owners stand up and take notice, Alexander's great senior season, great size and instant rapport with Bradford puts him squarely on the sleeper list for the remainder of the season. He's on the verge of leaping up the fantasy rankings throughout the remainder of the season.
