Which sleepers will keep on snoozing? (1 Viewer)

[KCC]

There are two types of players that will kill your fantasy season - early (1-3) round players with a high risk-reward ratio, and the highly touted "sleeper" picks that everyone has heard about in the offseason and who will end up going a few rounds earlier in most drafts than their original ADP figure. Who are the players you've heard mentioned as sleepers that you think are going to continue snoozing and could hurt those who reach for them in their drafts?

Note: Let's not rehash the old debates about the definition of "sleeper" - if you prefer "undervalued player" just play along.

I'll play along, last year we had Brandon Jackson as the preseason sleeper favorite, a few years ago it was Quentin Griffin..

for this season, I'll choose Nate Burleson, Anthony Gonzalez, Meachem, C. Jackson ( NE), I. Bruce, Sidney Rice, Brandon Jackson, R. Torain or any Denver RB for that matter..

Those players are not "undervalued" they are overvalued. In no way should sleepers "kill" your fantasy team if they dont pan out.

Sidney Rice. I've been hearing his name a lot and under other circumstances I might be buying into the hype, but not until Tavaris Jackson shows some significant improvement. On the other hand, if they get Brett Favre...

These are mine too.

A. Gonzalez for sure for me. He's being drafted in the same tier as Cotchery/Roddy White and going ahead of guys like Chambers, Coles, H. Ward. No thx, esp. with Harrison seemingly back.

You guys won't be saying that when he goes over a hundred yards and 2 tds week 1.

Ooh, that's a good one. I completely forgot about Gonzalez. He's definitely going way too high in mockdrafts. Just because he has Peyton Manning throwing to him doesn't mean he'll be a stud.

An optimist. Its an opinion for sure.

I haven't seen anyone even mention C Jackson as a sleeper, unless you're talking a "really deep" sleeper....

The Whites (Roddy and Lendale) were, but are now over-valued IMO. Ditto T Jones, EJ, Stewart and Clv Johnson.
