This season, there seems to be a lot more wide receiver sleepers than usual. In the 2011 fantasy football season, there are sure to be three or four WRs that come out of nowhere and shine. Here's our look at the 2011 wide receiver sleepers.

Chad Ochocinco, New England Patriots
Yes, Chad Ochocinco is annoying.

Logan Mankins and the New England Patriots have been haggling over a long-term contract for years. On Wednesday, the two sides reportedly came to an agreement. There aren't any dollar figure amounts yet but the deal is said to be for six season. Logan Mankins was set to make a little bit more than $10 million this season.

You know that Chad Ochocinco was traded to the New England Patriots. But did you know that the Patriots already have a No. 85 on their roster. This poses a potential hilarious situation. Will Chad Ochocinco need a number change?

If he wears No. 81, will he change his name to Chad Ochouno? Or perhaps he will regain his senses and go back to being Chad Johnson .

The New England Patriots aren't being bashful. Earlier today, the Patriots traded for Albert Haynesworth. Now, in breaking news, the Patriots have acquired Chad Ochocinco in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals. The trade became official after Chad Ochocinco agreed to rework his contract number.

According to reports, the Bengals will receive a pair of draft picks in return for their most most talked about player.

There have been several changes to the Wizards this off season. And now that we have a few games under our belt I think it would be a good idea to talk about what might have been or will be the best change so far. Is it the addition of Omar Bravo, Milos Stojcev, or C.J. Sapong? Or maybe the name, colors, or kit changes?

Instead of offering up just another bland match preview, I've come up with five (fairly) solid reasons of why the Vancouver Whitecaps FC will defeat Sporting Kansas City this weekend. If you're against excessive positivity, at the bottom I've also listed who won't be playing for the Whitecaps due to U-20 action or injury.

Lots of small bits of news already going down today. First the sod for Livestrong Sporting Park arrived during the night from Colorado and is currently being laid out at the new stadium. Watch the progress on the webcam and enjoy as we get one more "visual" step closer to completion. The next visual step, seats.

In the first preseason game of the season for the Swope Park Rangers, the SKC reserves fell 3-2 to the KC Brass, the local PDL side. The big attraction of the game was the inclusion of trialist Chad Ochocinco in the game. Ochocinco came on as a substitute in the second 30 minute session and then played the entire third session for the Rangers.

Some quick news before I head out to catch the bus.
Chad Ochocinco's trial with Sporting KC has been extended by 2 days to Monday. This is to give KC to get a look at him in a reserve game, as Monday the Rangers take on the Kansas City Brass. This is the first reserve game of the season since the league started.

Was able to talk to Chad Ochocinco after practice. He has been invited to stay at least through Monday when the reserves for Sporting Kansas City will scrimmage the Kansas City Brass. Ochocinco will get some playing time in that game been it has not been determined how much. Chad Ochocinco Ochocinco with the ball in a practice

I've been busy over the past week on the other site -- still am, as a matter of fact -- so I haven't had time to blog about Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson's impending tryout with Sporting KC which started today. I knew that Johnson was a soccer fan -- he played at youth level, is a big follower of the UEFA Champions League, is friends with Thierry Henry and David Beckham among other players -- but I share Ives Galarcep's opinion that the idea that an athlete who hasn't played soccer in close to two decades can walk into a professional.

So today was the first day of Chad Ochocinco's 4 day trial with Sporting Kansas City, and the media circus that was destined to follow was in tow. And after one day I think there's two words that Wizards fans are going to be hearing a lot of over the rest of this week, humble pie. After his first training session with the team, Ochocinco used the word humble in one form or another more times than I think anyone would care to count.

Chad Ochocinco (or Johnson, not sure what he goes by now) is trying out today with Sporting KC.

The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver has always talked about his skills on the real football field and today he will begin a four-day tryout with the Major League Soccer team in Kansas City.

You can watch his tryout live here.

Last week on Twitter, Kei Kamara and Teal Bunbury tweeted at Cincinnati Bengals' wide receiver, Chad Ochocinco, saying he should come train with Sporting KC now that the NFL has locked the players out. I'd avoided comment on the topic at the time because I figured it was just going to go away with out anything so I really did not want to get on it.

Chad Ochocinco, né Johnson, is one of the most thoroughly entertaining athletes in American sports, as typically typically he does so without being a complete ass about it. The type of guy every sport could use, really, even if he does have a touch of diva (well NFL wide receiver).

And he wants football.
