A quick look at fantasy football sleepers, busts, values, and much more!

NFL teams are on the cusp of going to proverbial war for the better part of five months — and longer, if they’re lucky. Perennial superstars dominate the fantasy football landscape, but each season unheralded names rise from relative obscurity to make their presence felt.

In this release, my favorite sleepers and deep sleepers (late-round fliers) will be addressed in the context of 12-team, 16-round drafts.
The Huddle’s official sleepers will come from the fingertips of David Dorey, and mine also will be updated along the way.
Any player listed has an elevated chance of exceeding expectations, but that doesn’t automatically make them all a lock to dominate. Going from being rarely drafted to potentially producing lineup-worthy results fits the bill, too.
