Fantasy Baseball 2021: Highlighting Top Sleepers for MLB Week 20

The fantasy baseball community can be slow to wake up to a sleeper.

A week ago, Joey Votto was rostered in fewer than half of ESPN leagues. He finally forced (almost) everyone's hands by blasting nine homers in a seven-game stretch, but even before then, he was hitting .297 with a .401 on-base percentage and 14 extra-base hits in 39 games since returning from the IL.

The 37-year-old should be universally rostered. He somehow still isn't and wasn't anywhere close to that just a short time ago.

The rise in rostership takes him out of discussion for this exercise, which focuses only on sleepers who are available in 40-plus percent of Yahoo leagues (via FantasyPros).
