WEEK 16 FANTASY FOOTBALL SLEEPERS

These are sleepers (DuckTales and Darkwing Duck style — Woo-oo is worthy of the risk in most leagues, and Dangerous is if you need a Hail Mary). They will not mimic my rankings 100%.

Woo-oo Worthy

Let’s Get Dangerous

FUN WITH RANKINGS!

It’s a Christmas bonanza! I think I’ve done everything possible Christmas now… Best TV Episodes, Best Cookies, Best Songs, Best Movies, and last year, WORST Songs.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!

WEEK 16 FANTASY FOOTBALL PROJECTIONS
