Ennis has just been put on waivers in our league, and we’re not sure why. He had a spectacular Week Five, scoring two goals and five points with a plus-3 rating, five penalty minutes, two power play points, 10 shots on goal, a hit and two blocked shots. In 19 games played, the youngster has six goals, 12 points, a minus-8 rating and 40 shots on goal.

Rask is a rookie, and he’s young, but his two goals, four points, plus-3 rating, two penalty minutes, two power play points, 15 shots on goal and 23 face-offs won made him last week’s 11th best Fantasy player. If you do decide to pick him up, don’t expect numbers like this every week, but it’s an encouraging effort by a talented player within a struggling organization. Keep your eye on Rask, but we don’t suggest you pick him up quite yet.

Fantasy GMs would be smart to jump on this guy, especially in competitive leagues with lots of teams. In 11 games with the Leafs this season, Winnik has a goal, seven points, a plus-7 rating and 16 shots. He’s playing on the top line and the Leafs have started to string some wins together, so he’ll have plenty of opportunity to produce for the time being.

With Tuukka Rask off to a shaky start, Svedberg has seen more action than expected, and he’s been up to the challenge. Svedberg has been off the Fantasy radar until now, but he looked phenomenal in shutting out the Sabres Saturday — in just his third career start. Need a backup netminder?

Just a few days shy of his 21st birthday, the former first overall pick has already been considered a bust for a while now. After scoring 17 goals and 31 points in 48 games during the lockout shortened season, the young Russian only managed 11 goals and 24 points with a disastrous minus-33 rating in 63 games in 2013-14, even finding himself a healthy scratch on numerous occasions. Yakupov’s got the ability, but he finds himself slipping down the depth chart of an Oilers team looking to get back into the playoffs for the first time since 2006. Don’t even think about him until you get a better sample size.

Sleepers are fun because not only can they make or break your Fantasy hockey season, but you’re also bound to get some interesting reactions from other Fantasy GMs. Hopefully, because you’re reading RotoRob.com’s Fantasy content religiously — as you very well should if you aren’t already — those reactions will be of disbelief and jealously rather than guffaws and scorn. Onward.
