2. IDENTIFY YOUR SLEEPERS
Every year, there are a couple of players who slip through the cracks at draft time only to blow up once the season begins, leading to a waiver-wire frenzy. So, pick out a couple of under-the-radar guys, store them away for your final couple of picks, and sit back and revel in your armchair GM skills when their performance stuns everyone but you. “One guy I like is (Browns RB) Monterrio Hardesty,” Quintong says. “Last year Peyton Hillis came out of nowhere, but that’s partially because Hardesty got hurt. I don’t know if I trust Hillis for a full season. I also like (Rams WR) Danario Alexander — someone will step up for the Rams, and I think he’s the one.”
Quintong’s 2011 All-Sleeper Team:
QB: Andy Dalton
RB: Monterrio Hardesty
WR: Danario Alexander
