Every sleeper calls take
26–50 of 2,727
David Njoku to outplay his draft cost
Add David Njoku ... I think Harris is worth the speculative add, along with David Njoku.
Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost
Green Bay Packers — Buy Christian Watson ... Christian WR1SZN.
Harold Fannin Jr. to outplay his draft cost
At least he should see more volume against Tampa Bay
Carnell Tate to outplay his draft cost
Hold Carnell Tate ... But I want to hold onto Tate a bit longer.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba to outplay his draft cost
Buy Jaxon Smith-Njigba ... he will continue to produce at an extremely high level
Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost
Add Malik Willis ... which makes him fantasy-viable across all matchups
Tetairoa McMillan to outplay his draft cost
McMillan's real volume (8 targets, 75 yards) came up empty on scores, making him a clean positive-regression buy, should he find the end zone in Week 2
Rashee Rice to outplay his draft cost
his touchdown equity is real given how much the Chiefs like to use him in the red zone. He has a much better matchup in Week 2.
Rome Odunze to outplay his draft cost
A big-play/boom-or-bust profile that could prove very profitable against the Vikings' defense
Drake London to outplay his draft cost
Buy Drake London ... Buy low on London before he gets his QB1 back under center.
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.
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
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.
Omarion Hampton to outplay his draft cost
Can't see the Chargers not utilizing him as the primary red-zone threat ... the next two weeks should be very good for his touchdown appeal
Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost
Add Tyler Shough ... Shough can be added off waivers if you need a quarterback streamer
Pat Freiermuth to outplay his draft cost
Pittsburgh Steelers — Add Pat Freiermuth
Ja'Marr Chase to outplay his draft cost
Cincinnati Bengals — Buy Ja'Marr Chase ... Nobody should be panicked about the No. 3 consensus pick in 2026 fantasy football drafts.','draftCost':'No. 3 consensus pick
Michael Mayer to outplay his draft cost
Las Vegas Raiders — Add Michael Mayer ... making him the clearest goal-to-go weapon sans Bowers
Rashod Bateman to outplay his draft cost
Baltimore Ravens — Add Rashod Bateman
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.
Tre Harris to outplay his draft cost
Given McConkey's injury, I think Harris is worth the speculative add
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
Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost
Jacksonville Jaguars — Buy Bhayshul Tuten
Braelon Allen to outplay his draft cost
New York Jets — Add Braelon Allen
Adonai Mitchell to outplay his draft cost
points to a low-volume, high-ceiling complementary piece worth buying into for target growth as his route diet expands
