With the NFL season just days away, most fantasy football enthusiasts have already read article after article about sleepers to target in their upcoming drafts.
Names like Allen Robinson, John Brown, Tyler Eifert, Sam Bradford and Matt Jones have become household names, despite proving little during the NFL careers. They are the quintessential sleeper picks, except for the simple fact that, well, everyone knows them now. Preseason highlight reels and puff pieces have inflated their value, making them much more difficult to obtain then they were just one month ago.
But they aren't the only players we should be keeping an eye on as the season approaches. There are seven players you can nab late in drafts that simply aren't receiving the same publicity this preseason. Much like C.J. Anderson, Justin Forsett and Odell Beckham Jr. last year, evidence exists that they have the talent or path to playing time to make waves in the regular season, but their current situations are causing their stock to remain well beneath the radar.
While some of these players should go undrafted in standard leagues, they should all be monitored closely as the first few weeks of the season reveal to us if an opportunity is coming. So who are the seven sleepers no one is talking about?
