Every sleeper calls take
1–25 of 2,727
- PendingRyan KirkseySleeper Calls
DK Metcalf to outplay his draft cost
If the Steelers intend to have more of an aerial attack this season, Metcalf will be the clear beneficiary. If the Metcalf manager in your league isn't a fan of the slow start, make an offer and see if you can acquire him for pennies on the dollar.

George Pickens to outplay his draft cost
Pickens has the usage profile of a receiver whose fantasy production should eventually catch up to the opportunity.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 16, 2026 Colston Loveland to outplay his draft cost
“Colston Loveland is the ultimate buy-low target given he still led all Bears in routes run (33) and snaps among the skill position players (87% snap share) in Week 1.”
- PendingFantasyProsSleeper Calls
Drake London to outplay his draft cost
“Drake London is the best buy-low candidate in Fantasy Football this week, no questions asked... Better things are on the way; just be patient.”

DeVonta Smith to outplay his draft cost
“Now is the perfect time to strike a deal for DeVonta Smith... I expect Smith to get back on track in short order, so try to nab him on the low this week if you can.”

Jameson Williams to outplay his draft cost
“so I’ll give you my 2nd favorite buy-low, and it’s Jameson Williams... This is a prime opportunity to take advantage of panicking Williams’ owners.”
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 16, 2026 Harold Fannin Jr. to outplay his draft cost
“Fannin is a legitimate dude, and he could be the answer to a fantasy team’s TE problem.”

Matthew Stafford to outplay his draft cost
“Matthew Stafford is still a league-winning QB and is a great buy-low option... the Rams offense rebounds to the 2025 MVP Matthew Stafford offense.”

Colston Loveland to outplay his draft cost
“Colston Loveland was disappointing in Week 1... Don’t give up on Loveland and sell low; you should buy low. He ran routes on 90% of snaps, has an elite play-caller, and is on a top-5 offense.” / “Loveland remains a high-upside target in a potent Chicago offense and was widely projected as a potential TE1 entering the season.”

Romeo Doubs to outplay his draft cost
“seeing Doubs fail so spectacularly in prime-time likely results in his value plummeting despite his situation... should rebound from an imposing Seahawks defense.”

Drake Maye to outplay his draft cost
“Drake Maye is my favorite buy‑low trade candidate heading into Week 2... The talent is there, and this could be one of the best opportunities all season to buy him at a discount.”
Drake MayeNew England Patriots
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 16, 2026 Pat Bryant to outplay his draft cost
Add Pat Bryant
Jameson Williams to outplay his draft cost
Detroit Lions — Buy Jameson Williams ... it also signals a clear buying opportunity whenever he comes off a down performance
David Njoku to outplay his draft cost
Add David Njoku ... I think Harris is worth the speculative add, along with David Njoku.
Jeremiyah Love to outplay his draft cost
Buy Jeremiyah Love ... Great for his season-long outlook that the team is not automatically using the veteran in goal-line situations.
Drake London to outplay his draft cost
Buy Drake London ... Buy low on London before he gets his QB1 back under center.
Tucker Kraft to outplay his draft cost
Expect Kraft to ramp up as the season progresses, given that he was not in his typical full-time role.
DK Metcalf to outplay his draft cost
Hold DK Metcalf ... treat this week's box score as an outlier given the underlying volume. The production will come
T.J. Hockenson to outplay his draft cost
The Week 2 shootout game script makes Hockenson a viable waiver wire option.
Pat Freiermuth to outplay his draft cost
Pittsburgh Steelers — Add Pat Freiermuth
Mark Andrews to outplay his draft cost
But without Lane and now Flowers… Andrews is going to be out there. Even if he's cooked, he can still fall into the end zone and score.
Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost
Green Bay Packers — Buy Christian Watson ... Christian WR1SZN.
Tre Harris to outplay his draft cost
Given McConkey's injury, I think Harris is worth the speculative add
Michael Mayer to outplay his draft cost
Las Vegas Raiders — Add Michael Mayer ... making him the clearest goal-to-go weapon sans Bowers
Jonathon Brooks to outplay his draft cost
But I expect Brooks' role to grow ... I think the backfield gap between Hubbard and Brooks will close as the season progresses.
