Top 20 Sleepers For Fantasy Sports Magazine

Greg Ambrosius · Post by **Greg Ambrosius** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 3:24 am

Each year Tom and I compile our Top 20 sleepers list for Fantasy Sports Magazine and it's fun when we hit a few. But since neither one of us have ever won $100,000 playing fantasy baseball -- or $5,000 for that matter -- we're going to turn this article over to the experts in the industry and get their lists. This is our invitation to our NFBC participants to help us write this story for the next issue of Fantasy Sports Magazine, which hits newsstands around March 4th.

What I'd like to see is one sleeper player from anyone who would like to submit it with one paragraph explaining your reasoning for that breakout season. Don't get too lengthy, but be thorough. I'll use one different player from 20 different owners and compile the list for the article. If you don't want your real name attached to the article, just say so and we'll publish it anonymously (or with a chosen writer's name). If you do want your name attached to this, just say the word and we'll include it if we choose your player. Either way is fine by us.

We're not trying to expose your sleeper picks, but it's time that the key articles get written by the people who actually make some money playing these games. This is the start of more NFBC-player articles that you'll be seeing in our print titles and online. More news to come on that shortly.

I have asked the NFBC Content Panel to submit their choices, but this is definitely open to all NFBC members. You can e-mail me your sleeper picks (one per person) at [email protected] or post them here if you feel bold. Deadline is Friday, Jan. 26th. Thanks everyone.

I know. I think the Wes Helms thing is funny as I'm sure everybody else.

I guess it would be even funnier if he ended up hitting 40 homers.

Okay, we have 7-8 good submissions so far for the article and everyone has been kind enough to let us use their name for the magazine. If you're interested in submitting a one paragraph writeup on your one sleeper for 2007, send it to me at [email protected]. And no, Wes Helms has NOT been nominated yet. C'mon, let's see a few more submissions before Friday and we'll give you 15 seconds of fame!!
