Well, here's a surprise.

For weeks now, I've been telling you how there's no two-start sleepers and how anyone you might be able to add off the waiver wire is liable to destroy you and how it's a waste of time and we're all going to die someday.

But you know, Week 24 (Sept. 1-7) is shaping up to be pretty good on the two-start sleeper front. Shockingly good, you might even say. So good that I halfway wonder if I've lowered my standards to the point I don't even know what good is anymore.

I'll admit it's possible.

You have a shallower sleeper like Aaron Civale, who's owned in less than 80 percent of CBS Sports leagues. He has a matchup against the White Sox, which I think makes him a must. And then you have the scarcely owned Mike Montgomery and Trevor Richards, who I would normally dismiss out of hand, but both have been pretty good since changing teams and both have two incredible matchups for this upcoming week. Even in 5x5 categories leagues, where the standard for a sleeper is higher, they might be worth a roll of a dice.
