MustOfBeenDrunk Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 LMAO - This week sleepers according to The Fantasy 6-Pack - Week 6 This Week’s Sleepers: Matt Hasselbeck Okay before I get to carried away I guess the term Sleeper would need to be defined ? I think that a sleeper if a player expected to out preform his projected stats. So if I'm correct how can a player that is one of only three listed as a S1 on this site and projected on every site to get around 300yrds and 2 to 3 TD's be a sleeper ? I ain't bitching just pointing out something I thought was humorous The huddle is a great site and also good for a laugh from time to time.

cdrudge Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I wouldn't call him a sleeper, but I think people sometimes forget about him. His back injury last year and his broken rib earlier this year I think puts him off of some peoples radars. For instance, looking at all ESPN leagues, he's only owned in about 2/3 if the leagues and he's only set as a starter in about 17% of those. Yes that includes people who haven't moved them into the starting spot last week...but that still a low percentage for a S1. I own him in one league with Big Ben. I didn't start him last week in favor of Big Ben but he'll get activated Sunday morning when I set my lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure I'd bench him even with Hass' good matchup at home. Good problem to have I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware of the fact that the Start / Bench List, Game Predictions & Player Projections,and the Weekly Fantasy 6-Pack are written by 3 different people with their own insights on the players for that week? Therefore it is not odd for someone to call Matt Hasselbeck a sleeper based on his own projections and not someone else's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the huddle nut sacker-riders - Hass healthy at home vs Arizona??? dude is still one of the best in the league and he is hardly a sleeper my man I thought it was pretty funny as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a sleeper then.... The point I am trying to make is that it makes no sense to base one article written by one person to another written by someone completely different. Opinions are like A$$holes, everybody has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 I think "sleeper" gets thrown around way too much these days and (as such) has become too open to interpretation and lost its true meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
