Every sleeper calls take
326–350 of 2,727
K.C. Concepcion to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver 46 in real-time ADP)
I'm able to get him at wide receiver 46 in real-time ADP right now as the clear wide receiver one for the Cleveland Browns... So I love Casey Concepcion at cost.
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.
Makai Lemon to outplay his draft cost
I just think there's a pretty decent chance we look back on this rookie class and say that Makai Lemon and not Carnell Tate or Jordan Tyson or Casey Concepcion was the best rookie in the class.
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.
Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost
I'm going to go up one spot in the wide receiver rankings to the guy who's been consistently a value all draft season, Christian Wilson... I think he could be a star.
Parker Washington to outplay his draft cost (wide receiver 29 in real-time ADP)
The upside swing to take in every single one is Parker Washington... So Parker Washington, like as a wide receiver three that I can draft... Yeah, I think he's the best value.
Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost (94th overall)
in real-time ADP, Jordan Mason is 94th overall. I've bumped Jordan Mason up to 87th in my rankings... I would be absolutely circling Jordan Mason and drafting him like about a round or at least a half round ahead of where he's at on every site.
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.
Jared Goff to outplay his draft cost (An 11th round pick in real time ADP)
It's Jared Goff... So I love Goff. And, you know, you bypass a quarterback... to load up on other positions in the early rounds and then just take a steady quarterback.
Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost (he's being ranked as an RB4)
he's been a draft steal because like, I know even in the week one rankings, like people have him in like RB4 range... And he's being ranked as an RB4.
Harold Fannin Jr. to outplay his draft cost
so I think we're going to be a lot more excited about Fannin, who is underrated right now

Saquon Barkley to outplay his draft cost (near the round one/round two turn)
He's an easy click near the round one/round two turn if you still have drafts.

Kyle Pitts to outplay his draft cost
Regardless of who starts at quarterback for the Falcons, Pitts is a must-draft player.

Cyrus Allen to outplay his draft cost (his ADP price tag)
It's hard not to buy a ticket at his ADP price tag. He's basically free and has been earning first-team reps while capitalizing on the opportunity.

Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost (high-end WR3 ... in the fifth round)
He's currently going off the board as a high-end WR3, but he has WR1 upside. ... Getting this kind of production as a WR3 is a smash click in the fifth round.

Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (his current ADP)
Most would agree that Corum has standalone value behind Kyren Williams. At his current ADP, he already provides great value as the backup.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 6, 2026 Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost
Price is an intriguing RB2 with a ton of upside in 2026.
Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost
This could be the big breakout season for Tuten... if he can be the clear lead guy, he has the talent to match Etienne's RB13 finish last year in fantasy points per game.
D'Andre Swift to outplay his draft cost
Swift should be a mid-range RB2 again this season.
Dak Prescott to outplay his draft cost
Here are quarterbacks our experts love to target in 2026 fantasy football drafts. ... Dak Prescott (DAL)
Drake Maye to outplay his draft cost
