Better Fantasy Football Sleepers for 2025
Why Finding One Extra Sleeper Can Transform Your Fantasy Football Draft
Think about this: if the Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide helped you discover just one or two additional fantasy football sleepers on draft day, would that be worth it?
What if we showed you how to identify a weekly fantasy starter with the very last pick of your draft? That kind of edge can make all the difference in winning your league.
Sleepers Are The Backbone of Our Strategy
Why I Created This Fantasy Football Draft Guide: Cutting Through the Sleeper Hype
The main reason I started writing this fantasy football draft guide was because the available information on fantasy sleepers was often unreliable and recycled year after year. The fantasy football community tends to fall victim to a “hive mind” effect — when one popular writer or website praises a player, everyone else quickly follows suit.
This leads to countless articles and social posts repeating the same opinions, listing the same “sleepers” and “deep sleepers.” Here’s the truth: if everyone is talking about a player as a sleeper, they’re not sleepers anymore!
Our guide breaks this cycle with fresh, data-driven analysis to help you find true fantasy football sleepers that others overlook.
Introducing “Hibernators”: Our Unique Approach to Identifying Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers
Our early publications addressed the common hype cycle by introducing the concept of “Hibernators.” Like a grizzly bear in deep winter, these are fantasy football sleepers so deep and obscure that virtually no one discusses them — even during the busiest hype season, which lasts from the NFL Draft through the third NFL preseason game.
The Fantasy Football Almanac’s data-driven analytic approach helps you discover these hidden gems well before the rest of the fantasy football community catches on.

How Fantasy Football Almanac Readers Benefit Year After Year
- If you read the Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide in 2018, you would have been ahead of the curve by drafting Christian McCaffrey in the first round — a move that now seems obvious but wasn’t widely recognized then. But we’ve had had many fantasy football success between then and now. More recently…
- In 2023, our guide helped readers confidently roster breakout players like Sam LaPorta and Kyren Williams before the season started. You also would have known to draft De’Von Achane late, securing valuable sleeper picks.
- For 2024, our guide provides crucial advice to avoid risky early picks like Breece Hall and focus on high-upside rookie standouts such as Tyrone Tracy and Bucky Irving in the later rounds.
- Additionally, in 2024, readers would have gained the edge by selecting Jayden Daniels ahead of Caleb Williams and Malik Nabers before Marvin Harrison Jr.
If All This Guide Did Was Find You One More Sleeper, Would It Be Worth It?
