Sleepers. They are among the biggest keys to success in fantasy football. If you can identify a “sleeper” — a player that most fantasy managers are sleeping on but is actually ready to have a big season — then your roster immediately gets a boost.
2023 Fantasy Football Draft Kit
In most cases, a sleeper is a mid- to late-round pick that puts up numbers more worthy of players with a much higher average draft position (ADP). We surveyed members of the SI Fantasy and SI NFL teams to provide their picks for top sleeper in 2023.
BYU football played its inaugural season in 1922, more than a century ago. Since then, the Cougars have won 612 games with 437 losses and 27 ties — a 58.1% winning percentage. Not bad.

LeBron James officially announced his return for his 21st NBA season Wednesday night at the ESPYs in hopes of winning a fifth NBA championship. But on ESPN’s First Take on Thursday, Kendrick Perkins argued that at 39 years old by midway through next season, James is too old to lead the Lakers to to a title in 2023–24.

That doesn’t mean Perkins thinks the Lakers’ title hopes are dead already.
