What will be the trend this year? It's hard to say. The sleeper QBs from last year seemed to be a fluke. With Rodgers, Rivers, and Warner all outperforming their ADP, I wonder if that will happen again this year, and with what position. Mark, I agree. What will be the trend this year? It’s hard to say.

A late WR#2 flier is little risk actually, as getting a stable #3/4 guy to follow is likely. I have found guys like Welker, Boldin, Royal or way back when, guys like Perriman, Michael Jackson, Branch, and always after guys are taking top Ds. It is not that unusual for me to draft a guy like this after I've drafted their intended backup. It's great to find that gem, and it isn't that hard. RBs with starting stats taken after round 6, now THATs FF magic. Last year was a fluke, and I got burned by taken RBs early (by the teams that had sleepers pegged and grabbed early WRs)What will be this years trend, QB, RB, WR sleepers?

RB is where late-round value picks can be found, especially among rookies. Who will be the Chris Johnson of this year? WR requires too much skill for there to be too many sleepers.

If I'm really strong on a sleeper I will go with him. but that is because I think he is going to score enough to meet my expectations at the position. I'm more worried about scoring points than being cool at the end of the season for rolling the dice and getting the player nobody else knew about...more often than not that backfires. I don’t know.
