Fantasy Football Sleepers

Fantasy Football Season is back and most Fantasy Leagues are drafting in the next week or so.  In common Fantasy Football parlance, a "sleeper" is a player that not a lot of people know about who may end up having a big season and scoring lots of imaginary points for the owners of their imaginary teams.

Because there are few things in life more enjoyable than reappropriating terms that are important to some groups in order to mock/belittle/subvert their goals/intentions/beliefs, I would like to propose the following re-definition of Fantasy Football Sleeper.

Fantasy Football Sleeper (n): One who is wildly bored and gives less than a single damn about Fantasy Football.  This person does not want to read/hear/watch anything Fantasy Football related.  Fantasy Football makes the Fantasy Football Sleeper desire to club him or herself over the head with a smartphone opened to a twitterfeed full of Fantasy Football talk until he or she falls asleep.

Are you a Fantasy Football Sleeper?  Do you not give one back up RB about how many extra points the Detroit Lions' kicker missed?  Declare it loud and proud #FantasyFootballSleeper.

Some #FantasyFootballSleepers even get roped into co-owning a team with their spouse (sorry, Abbey).
