The Monday Morning Sleeper – Ameer Abdullah

Welcome to another edition of the Monday Morning Sleeper. Last week I profiled Jared Goff, a quarterback with something to prove, who is primed to lead his team with the help of some new weapons.

Unfortunately for Smallwood, LaGarrette Blount has officially signed with the Eagles, and that directly affects Smallwood's sleeper status. Blount led the New England Patriots' backfield last season as they marched through the…

Among the few remaining people left there was a gentleman with an FSU shirt sitting with his wife and two children. I leaned back and asked, "So just how good is this Dalvin Cook?" He replied, "He is the best back we have ever had at Florida State and…

Monday Morning Sleeper: Paul Perkins

The Monday Morning Sleeper Welcome to this weeks’ edition of the Monday Morning Sleeper, where every Monday morning I profile a different potential sleeper candidate and present you with my arguments on why I think you should reach for this late ranked talent who may help you to take down your league championship.My first 2017 sleeper candidate is Paul Perkins. He is a 22-year-old running back entering his second season with the New York Giants, and I predict that he will take a huge leap forward in his sophomore season…
