Next in my series looking at each BCS conference's fantasy options is the SEC. Click here to view the rest.

In August, I ranked the SEC's QBs here. Now, on to the sleepers...

Some of these are sleepers for BCS Leagues, while others are only relevant for SEC-only (or other small) leagues.

I'm going out on a limb with my reasoning for Florida's sleeper: I believe Urban Meyer is smarter with his football team than I could ever hope to be. Why, I ask, would he be so willing to move a proven commodity in Chris Rainey out to WR to get Mike Gillislee more carries unless he knows something the rest of us don't? CBS does have Gillislee as the top-projected RB option out of Florida, but he won't be drafted that way. Don't overlook Gillislee- especially with the increasing likelihood he's in the mix for 3rd-and-short, goal line, and other TEBOW SMASH! situations. The 8.6 yards per carry (in limited action) last season doesn't hurt, either.

With so many SEC TEs lumped together (CBS projects 8 different TEs to get between 350-450 receiving yards), you can wait on TE and get good value. However, Georgia's Orson Charles is a definite breakout candidate I'd target among those eight. He was a big-time recruit, and the opportunity should be there to shine in what (outside of the QB uncertainty) is actually one of the SEC's better offenses. For more SEC tight end talk, check out this discussion of Jordan Reed's potential.

In Lexington, if defenses key on Randall Cobb- the #1 overall pick in tonight's Gatorsfirst.com SEC Fantasy League- too much, there will be great opportunity for other weapons to break out.  My pick for Kentucky's sleeper is Chris Matthews.  I'm hopeful that he'll get a couple TD passes from Cobb out of the WildCobb, and be able to make the most of single coverage.  It also doesn't hurt that he gets to face secondaries like Western Kentucky, Akron, Georgia and Charleston Southern, and that in other, tougher games Kentucky could be playing from behind and throwing the ball more.  I'll be monitoring his season to use him as a potential matchup play in my SEC league.

Marcus Lattimore was South Carolina's big prize on signing day, and he could be yours on draft day.  A post-freshmen hype candidate to break out at RB is Tennessee's David Oku.  Lattimore could be useful in a variety of leagues, while Oku is borderline draftable in SEC Leagues, but definitely worth watching.

With news that Warren Norman is starting the season nicked up- before he gets a chance to get the increased workload promised in the offseason- Vanderbilt RB Zac Stacy is an intriguing matchup play.  Yes, they're Vandy... but they have two RBs worth watching.

Alabama running backs cannot be considered sleepers, despite news of the Mark Ingram injury.  For SEC League bye weeks, I'm watching TE Michael Williams.  If Alabama's passing game outside of Julio Jones sees improvement, the TE could play a role.

The SEC has two QBs who could surprise the rest of the nation with their performance in BCS Leagues.  Dan Mullen is involved with both of them.  Cam Newton is like the ghost of Mullen past- wearing Orange and Blue and playing in that explosive Auburn offense.  Chris Relf seems to be the best fit in Starkville for the Meyer offense that Mullen installed, and he's an intriuging SEC-only starter, and a guy to stash away in BCS Leagues.  If you're scoring at home, Newton must be owned in BCS Leagues, and could end up the top QB option in SEC-only leagues, though you won't have to draft him nearly as highly as Mallett or Brantley.

LSU WR Russell Sheppard is another of those guys I think breaks out the year after he received all the hype.  I also love taking WRs who get rushing yards, and Sheppard should fit that mold.

Houston Nutt might be insane, but he's also bringing the SEC the gift of the hyphenated first name for a college football player.  WR Ja-Mes Logan is an exciting freshman to watch, and someone that could break out in a big way.  Especially now that it's looking less likely Jeremiah Masoli will see the field, and they might have a better throwing QB than some think.  The hypenated first name has me so excited, I'm going by ''Ja-Mes'' the rest of this column.  Only it's pronounced 'Jadashmes' in my case.  Not sure about Logan's.

Position Scarcity

Quarterback in the SEC is surprisingly deep this year.  Jordan Jefferson, Chris Relf, and even Stephen Garcia are facing some job security questions, but I'm projecting each of them to have varying degrees of fantasy value, at least enough to be on the radar for those in BCS Leagues.  McElroy is steady, but not someone I'd target in anything outside of CBS Leagues, as I feel he lacks the upside of Newton, Relf, and Co.

Running back is also deep, though if Mark Ingram misses more than one game that's a serious blow to the elite tier of SEC RBs.

The real story of SEC Fantasy leagues is at WR, where after Randall Cobb and Greg Childs, the pool is filled with fantastic talents with questionable fantasy value (AJ Green, Julio Jones) or guys with question marks (Deonte Thompson, Markeith Summers).  There shouldn't be that many WRs drafted in BCS Leagues, but in the G1 SEC League a WR was the #1 pick (Cobb).  This is a strategy I can understand, as CBS leagues require you start 3 WR, and outside of the top 10 guys there really aren't many options to get excited about.
