This year eight staff writers have all been polled who their sleepers, undervalued and overvalued players are. To make this within context of your draft, we have shown the selections against the average draft rankings and are highlighting when at least three writers have a consensus on a player. We hope you like our new format.
Sleepers (Players drafted as a backup that have the potential to perform like a starter)
 (4 stars)
Kevin Boss, New York Giants - Half of the writers all feel that Boss not only becomes the new starter in New York, but he also becomes worthy of being a fantasy starter despite being available later in drafts. Boss only had nine catches for 118 yards and two scores as a rookie behind Jeremy Shockey but came through with four catches for 50 yards and a score in the season ender against the Patriots. He also had a catch in each of the playoff games and now heads up the tight ends for a team that loves to use the position.
(3 stars)
Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers - Miller has surprisingly fallen from fantasy favor when most drafts have him taken around 12th or so. He not only comes off a career best season with 47 catchers for 566 yards, he was also used for seven touchdowns in 2007. While some may be expecting the tall Limas Sweed to horn in on Miller's action, that may prove wildly optimistic especially for this year. A fantasy back-up tight end that had seven touchdowns and 566 yards last year? Nice bargain.
