Fantasy Football 2018 Sleepers: Why You Shouldn’t Overlook Eli Manning

There used to be a time (before the internet...) when you could show up at your fantasy football draft and legitimately be the only person in your league who knew about a certain player. Good players in good leagues could figuratively sleep on a player with major upside.

Nowadays, when we say “sleeper” what we really mean is “undervalued.” No matter how much information is available, there will always be undervalued players. Given that player valuation is an imperfect exercise, the fantasy community at large is going to miss on a handful of players every single season.
