Reflecting on 2007 NFL - Fantasy Style - Biggest Draft Day Sleepers!!

Now that most everybody has gained 10+ pounds and is sitting in their office wondering why they didn't practice harder earlier in life to become a pro athlete, it is time to reflect back on what we could have done better this year in FANTASY FOOTBALL. This post will highlight this years best sleepers and should cement some names in your head for next year's NFL Fantasy Draft.

For a benchmark, I used cbssportsline as a reference point to the information below. My favorite league is a PPR league (point per reception) and I used the final player scoring totals as the final ranking for each player. I also used their Average Draft Position as a guide for preseason draft positions! This information is of some assistance and you should do this in your current leagues to see who you might want to target for next year!

ADP = Average Draft Position
FR = Final Scoring Ranking in PPR Leagues


Quarterbacks - Top Sleepers
1st Place / TONY ROMO - ADP = 10th - FR = 2nd
2nd Place / BEN ROETHLISBERGER - ADP = 15th - FR = 4th
3rd Place / MATT HASSELBECK - ADP = 11th - FR = 7th
2007 #1 Sleeper Quarterback / DEREK ANDERSON - Undrafted - FR = 5th

Running Backs - Top Sleepers
1st Place / BRIAN WESTBROOK - ADP = 7th - FR = 1st
2nd Place / ADRIAN PETERSON - ADP = 22nd - FR = 4th
3rd Place / CLINTON PORTIS - ADP = 20th - FR = 5th
2007 #1 Running Back Sleeper / EARNEST GRAHAM - Undrafted - FR = 9th

Wide Receivers - Top Sleepers
1st Place / BRAYLON EDWARDS - ADP = 30th - FR = 4th
2nd Place / WES WELKER - ADP = 49th - FR = 8th
3rd Place / BRANDON MARSHALL- ADP = 43rd - FR = 10th
2007 #1 Wide Receiver Sleeper / BOBBY ENGRAM - Undrafted - FR = 12th

Tight Ends - Top Sleepers

2nd Place / DALLAS CLARK - ADP = 11th - FR = 5th
3rd Place / OWEN DANIELS - ADP = 15th - FR = 7th
