      yes some of you're misunderstanding the definition of sleepers.

      good example of sleeper from last year was alshon jeffery.

      i think i got him close to the last round of the draft.

      there might be several this year... keep posting your thoughts though, i'll help everyone.

      i was looking at justin hunter but it's a no go if he's not a starter.

          I realize that, bro. But a sleeper is someone you grab at the end of the draft who is a shot in the dark and it turns out. Not guys who proved their talent last year as they had great games.

                Just draft 1. Then pick someone up when the bye week comes.

                  Hilton hasn't been a sleeper since a few weeks into his rookie campaign.

                      Dunno if zach ertz counts, but yeah
                      Kyle Rudolph . Pretty sure he's never really done shit but norv works wonders with TEs
                      Kelvin Benjamin
                      Bishop Sankey
                      Seferian Jenkins
                      Look into Marcus Wheaton
                      Jeremy hill could see many goal line carries
                      Even Jericho cotchery of Carolina might be worth a look. I have concerns over the o line of Carolina but cotchery DID catch 10 touchdowns last season

                      Not sure these qualify as "sleepers" by definition. However they may be some guys others aren't up on. If not then excuse me

                        Sorry never read through the thread, see ertz and Wheaton have been mentioned.

                        Ahhhh how could I forget mike Evans too. And someone mentioned devonta freeman whom I like. My only concern is how committed is Atlanta to pounding the rock....?? Freeman is a pass catching rb too so added value there as well

                          Try these:
                          Running back from Seattle Christine Michael.
                          wide receiver from GB Jarrett Boykin.
                          If you don't want to count Reed,why would you count Boykin who had a very good year last year when people were hurt. Christine Michael I am done with, everyone was raviing about him last year and he got like literally 0 carries.

                            If you want a really deep sleeper, going with the eagles again, go with Jordan Matthews. Everyone in camp has been raving about this guy, all the media guys drooling over him. He will be the starting slot WR, really his only competition is brad smith which isn't much competition at all. They are making him work for his job, but theres no doubt he will be there. So many options on the eagles offense for 'sleepers' though. Ertz for TE, Maclin/Matthews for WR, Sproles for RB.

                                There was a reason he didn't get any carries, and almost nothing to do with his skill set. I think the guy is a stud and an obvious beast mode handcuff.

                                In all reality, we're talking last two picks here, which are usually waiver wire at best talent.

                                If Lynch goes down, or actually doesn't show up, your 15th pick just became a top round producer.

                                    I like a lot of WR's late, I think I'm gonna take the top damn QB for once and let him carry my team.

                                      Randle has looked good in camp. Like it.

                                        There seems to be a lot of EHHHHH running backs.

                                                Who do you like? I'm really hoping to squeeze out TY Hilton and Michael Floyd with #63 and #66 overall, but not counting on either one being there. They both are going around 60th in mocks, but my league tends to take QBs earlier than most so Im hoping both slide a little. I really think their stock will go up before draftday too

                                                        There seems to be a lot of EHHHHH running backs.
                                                        Yeah, I'd like to get an elite RB then QB and wait on WR's this year. Maybe even take a TE early this year, I always wait on TE and QB. You can really get a top RB and hope for the best in the 3rd or 4th with your next RB...since there is so many iffy ones that are pretty much equal.

                                                        It always depends how the draft falls, though I don't really feel like there is a QB definitively above the rest this year. Mannings, Rodgers, or Brees and you're good. Take a RB first then grab one of them, if you can and WR's are a plenty.

                                                        I usually wait on QB's, my one draft with 1st pick I ended up with McCoy/Morris/Julio Jones/A. Johnson/Welker and Romo as my QB for the core. Tate and Randle at flex. Got Amendola late, who if he can stay healthy may be a steal and Rivers for a backup QB...love that team.

I'm really hoping to squeeze out TY Hilton and Michael Floyd with #63 and #66 overall, but not counting on either one being there. They both are going around 60th in mocks, but my league tends to take QBs earlier than most so Im hoping both slide a little. I really think their stock will go up before draftday too
                                                        I look at the top 10 or so compared to the 20's and don't see much difference outside of CJ and Demaryius. In a league where people flood the QB's early, I usually just wait for a guy like Romo or Rivers, that sits around while people bust their nut on QB's and I load up on steals that people are passing up on. Love depth at RB.

                                                        Back on WR's, you can get so many guys late with potential to be top guys. Your boys Floyd and Hilton and guys like Randle, Decker, Tate, Sanders, Harvin, T. Smith, Colston, Amendola, Hopkins and I'm not huge on all of them but damn so many to choose from.

                                                        Even later you have the guys like Watkins, James Jones, Benjamin who may all be 1's on their team. Deeper you've got M. Jones, Wheaton, Cooks, Hunter, Woods, M. Williams, Boykin, A. Holmes, Matthews, etc. etc.

                                                        Just so many options at WR, and I always load up on RB's myself but this year I may try to get a top 3 QB when I usually wait and go RB/RB/WR/WR. Now I'm thinking RB/QB/RB then probably WR but mostly value from that point. Such a deep pool of WR's after that long winded response is my main point.

                                                        Best of luck to all, I love this shit. Also love L. Green at TE for a steal, Rivers loves his TE and this guy has the talent to take over for Gates.

                                                              Love Wheaton as a late rounder, love Wayne and Hilton both this year, I think enough people know about E Sanders/Nicks/Hopkins/Randle that they will get picked before I would value them. If they slide, obviously Ill look, I just dont see myself valuing any of these guys higher than every one else.

                                                                    I think the question to these answers are fairly obvious….

                                                                        Cameron or Davis could be a toss up but strongly lean Cameron. Hilton all day and don't want MJD or DMC on my team, even as a Raiders fan but MJD. Crazy to think Dalton is close to Brady, at least in FF and I would wait for Dalton instead of taking Brady a bit earlier. Love Rivers and the Chargers this year, surprised he's outside the top 10.
