Every sleeper calls take
301–325 of 2,727
Jameson Williams to outplay his draft cost
I think Jameson Williams has a huge year... I think we've been knocking on the door of a Jameson Williams breakout.

Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost
Johnston has to be in the argument for a breakout season with the Chargers bringing in Mike McDaniel as their offensive coordinator.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 7, 2026 Jared Goff to outplay his draft cost
So Jared Goff, definitely one of my favorite quarterback sleepers.
D.J. Moore to outplay his draft cost
advice for round five and six RB and wide receiver options... I am really targeting JMO pretty hard in this tier. Also Parker.
David Montgomery to outplay his draft cost
The three standouts for me in this tier are David Montgomery, Parker Washington and Christian Watson.
MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost
I'm not worried about Chris Brooks. Not worried about Caleb Johnson. I'm all in on Marshawn Lloyd.
Colston Loveland to outplay his draft cost
the guys that could be or are in that elite tier that are values compared to these onesie positions are Jalen Hurts and Colston Loveland. So I would prioritize them.
Jalen Hurts to outplay his draft cost
I just want to keep investing in Jalen Hurts at cost over Lamar.
Jared Goff to outplay his draft cost
Jared golf is a wonderful value in, in fantasy drafts.

Rashid Shaheed to outplay his draft cost (late-round)
Now fully immersed in the organization, he provides late-round value as a deep threat with spike-week potential. There's opportunity for targets next to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, making Shaheed an intriguing bench stash.

T.J. Hockenson to outplay his draft cost (TE2 range)

Dallas Goedert to outplay his draft cost (TE2 range)
4 TE2s with Top‑5 Upside — Dallas Goedert (PHI – TE) ... he enters the year with a legitimate chance to push into top‑5 territory.

Kyler Murray to outplay his draft cost (QB17)
heading into this season as the Vikings' quarterback, he's being drafted as QB17, but he is in a far better situation.

Patrick Mahomes to outplay his draft cost (QB14)
Right now, Mahomes is being drafted as the QB14, even though he was the overall fantasy QB2 before his injury last season. There's way too much value here to pass up.

Joe Burrow to outplay his draft cost (QB4 (57 overall))
Joe Burrow is currently going as the QB4 (57 overall), per FantasyPros' ADP. While that's quite high, he's a quarterback I'm extremely bullish on.

Xavier Worthy to outplay his draft cost (the end of your drafts)
You're probably better off drafting Xavier Worthy at the end of your drafts, and leaving someone else choose to grab Rashee Rice inside the top 20 receivers.

Ashton Jeanty to outplay his draft cost (outside of the first round)
Personally, I'm still rolling the dice on Jeanty, who has overall RB1 upside as the bell-cow back behind an improved Raiders offensive line.

TreVeyon Henderson to outplay his draft cost
I'm buying the dip. Henderson is a talented player who put up some impressive spike weeks last season... Fade the consensus and grab this falling stud.

Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 7, 2026 Rashid Shaheed to outplay his draft cost
Potentially the biggest breakout player for the Seahawks’ offense will be wide receiver Rashid Shaheed.
Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost (QB 20)
Tyler Shuck at QB 20, produced as a QB 1 during the back half of last season.
Dontayvion Wicks to outplay his draft cost (a great late round flyer)
So he could be a guy that really pops this year... Yeah, so just keep drafting Dontavion Wicks instead of taking a kicker or defense in your final round.
Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost (QB 21)
Malik Willis at QB 21 is absolute insanity to me... Malik Willis is going to be a wonderful pick in fantasy this year.
Jonah Coleman to outplay his draft cost
Jonah Coleman just seems like the perfect Sean Payton back... It's just kind of possible that Coleman is just better than Dobbins and Harvey at everything and winds up as sort of the lead guy.
