You say my Sleepers 2.0 weren’t good enough for you? You say they’re too well-known, too high-end, too good for anyone to sleep on them?
Fair enough … so how about these?
I save my deepest sleepers for later in Draft Prep season, after we’ve had a chance to observe some spring training developments and after draft boards have had a chance to settle. And you know what? There’s plenty to like here.
Even limiting my selection those drafted outside of the top 300 players on average (that’s over the past week, by the way, not the entire offseason), I’ve come up with 40 names that I could see having a real impact this year. It doesn’t mean they’re all draftable in your league. It doesn’t mean they’re equally likely to have that sort of impact. But it does mean … I’m intrigued. And you should be, too.
Why’s that? Well, last year’s list included notables like Garrett Crochet, Reynaldo Lopez, Alec Burleson, Colton Cowser, Masyn Winn, Ceddanne Rafaela, Reese Olson, Michael Busch, Erick Fedde and Matt Wallner, and I’d say it was far from my most successful deep sleeper crop.
How many from this group of 40 will I be victory-lapping a year from now?
