NL Only Deeper Draft Sleepers: Winter Hibernation Ends

The term sleeper is overused and commonly confused in fantasy sports.

When I think sleeper, I think Rip Van Winkle. […]

If he is available in your deeper league / AL-Only league, and you've already drafted, go ahead and grab him him off the waiver wire. As a relief pitcher in 2014, with a 2.97 ERA and a […]

Mark Teixeira (1B/DH, NYY) - 2015 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Late Round Draft Target or Waiver Wire Stash ANALYSIS: Mark Teixeira is not the player that he once was, but his power still holds some value in the middle of the Yankees order. After all, power is at an all time low, and a late round draft pick that can provide some cheap […]
