By the Numbers: Nine Sleepers for NFL Dynasty League Consideration

Sadly, the 2008 fantasy season has come to an end for redraft owners in normal, Week 16-ending leagues. Now begins the long, boring offseason filled with football torture while other fantasy games kick into high gear.

Re-drafters watch as players change hands in the league and rookies are grabbed in late April. None of this matters to them at the time because most re-drafters wait for the end of mini-camps and training camps to conduct fantasy research. And then, finally, relevant fantasy action commences in the form of fantasy drafts in August.

Somewhere, dynasty league owners are chuckling.

Not necessarily because 2008 proved to be a fruitful one. In most leagues, 11 of 12 owners fall short of their yearly expectations. They may not leave completely empty-handed, but every fantasy owner expects to win his/her league…every season, in fact.

No, dynasty leagues owners are chuckling because for them, the season never ends. The 2008 campaign may be over but that only means the 2009 is just beginning. Twelve of 12 dynasty league owners will go back to the drawing board this week in preparation for the playoffs, free agency, the NFL Draft, mini-camps and the rest of the very early preseason football.

But before those wonderful football oases of the spring appear, dynasty leaguers should look to acquire a few of these players to bolster the chances that next year’s team finishes the season as 1 of 12.
