In an effort to catch up with the fantasy season, I have condensed the results of Weeks 5 – 7 into a single article. I’ve been swamped the past few weeks become a first-time homebuyer and working on my Graphic Design degree and was unable to update the progress of my brave band of under-drafted sleepers. The Snoozebar Sleepers column will return to its regular format with Week 8’s recap.
