Aromashodu picked as a fantasy sleeper
LAKE FOREST, Ill. – NFL.com fantasy football columnist Michael Fabiano has selected Bears wide receiver Devin Aromashodu as one of 10 fantasy football sleepers for the 2010 season.
Devin Aromashodu celebrates his game-winning 39-yard TD reception last year against the Vikings. “During the final four weeks of last season, only Andre Johnson and DeSean Jackson scored more fantasy points among wide receivers than Aromashodu,” Fabiano writes. “The veteran became a popular target for Jay Cutler, averaging close to 10 targets per game in that time.
“With Mike Martz now calling the offensive plays, Aromashodu should be in for the best season of his NFL career. He’s certainly a player to target in drafts.”
Aromashodu developed into a go-to receiver for the Bears late last season. He caught 22 passes for 282 yards and 4 TDs in the final four games after compiling nine receptions for 112 yards and no TDs in 12 career contests prior to Week 14.
Aromashodu’s four TD catches over the final four weeks tied for the second most in the NFL during that span behind Colts tight end Dallas Clark, who had five scores. In the last two games, Aromashodu caught a 39-yard TD pass from Cutler to beat the Vikings in overtime before hauling in two scoring grabs in the season finale in Detroit.
Aromashodu’s 150 yards versus Minnesota were the most by a Bears player since Marty Booker had 157 yards Oct. 24, 2002 in an overtime victory over the Lions.
