Sleeper Calls

A.J. Brown to outplay his draft cost

A.J. Brown remains one of the NFL’s premier alpha receivers despite a frustrating 2025 season in Philadelphia (WR11 PPG). After being traded to New England, Brown should immediately command massive volume and reclaim high-end WR1 upside

Ray Rice to outplay his draft cost (round six)

I'm just really high right now on just what this guy's potential could be, and I kind of gave it away, and that's Price. If you can get him still here in your home league, I think he's an outstanding option as your number two running back.
