By definition a sleeper is anyone you can pick up that is flying under the radar. However, in the realm of today's fantasy football world this is growing increasingly rare. With the amount of magazines, television shows, and web pages devoted to the subject of "fantasy football" the likelihood of finding that one major player that no one else is considering is growing increasingly rare. Because of this, sleepers have been higher in demand, and thus being selected before their time.
The true test to find a sleeper is to make the selection of someone you will likely be ridiculed for - for instance, if you had drafted Derek Anderson in the eleventh round in last year's draft as your starting QB, you would have been laughed at (and rightfully so since he was second on the depth chart at that point behind Charlie Frye) - only for you to be the one with the last laugh by not wasting a second or third round pick on the likes of Carson Palmer or Drew Brees.
My point is simple, to truly get a sleeper in today's fantasy football formats, you must be willing to endure some ridicule, because you will be the one laughing when that late round draft pick works in your favor.
