Don’t Get Caught Napping on These Sleepers
Friday, August 22nd, 2008
The definition of “sleeper” differs from owner to owner, but for this piece I want to lay down some ground rules for what constitutes a player as a sleeper. A sleeper is a player that will most likely not be drafted in the top 100 picks and has the potential to be a fantasy stud, worthy of top 40 production.
“Potential” is a funky monkey when it pertains to an 18 year old man, so having not seen any of these athletes in person, I acquiesce to the rankings of professionals like Rivals.com. They rank players from 1 to 5 stars and give list of top recruits each year. After gathering this information I look at system, opportunity, and talents surrounding a player then make my decision. AWAY WE GOOOOOO!
