Every sleeper calls take
576–600 of 2,761
Quentin Johnston to outplay his draft cost (round eight)
Gwen Johnson is my call out here. I think he's the real wide receiver one from Los Angeles chargers.
Kenny Gainwell to outplay his draft cost (round 10)
My guys in round 10, Kenny Gainwell... If he could just be better Rashad White, I think he's going to crush this year.
De'Zhaun Stribling to outplay his draft cost (round nine)
I think DeJuan Stribling is young enough that he can fight the substation... one wide receiver I am not drafting and one that I like.
Luther Burden III to outplay his draft cost (rounds four and five)
Give me my guy, Luther Burden. This is exactly where you want to take him. You're not paying a premium anymore because of the injury.
Chase Brown to outplay his draft cost (round two)
Chase Brown, I'm all in on... So I'm all in on Chase Brown
DJ Moore to outplay his draft cost (the fourth, fifth round)
All in on DJ Moore... Now he's kind of moved up, Chad, to the fourth, fifth round.
Dallas Goedert to outplay his draft cost (round 10)
people are sleeping on Dallas Goddard... it's just where I think the value is in this draft is Kincaid and then Goddard the round after.
Jaylen Waddle to outplay his draft cost (round four)
Jim and Waddle, baby. Talked about the Broncos passing attack all in.
Tae Johnson to outplay his draft cost (End of year draft)
Johnson's a sneaky play. End of year draft. Just grab this kid.
Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost (round six)
Like Christian Watson versus Parker Washington. I'll go Christian Watson just because I believe in the upside being Green Bay's true wide receiver one this year.
Kenneth Walker III to outplay his draft cost
Kenneth Walker going to Kansas City... I love him in fantasy and I think he's going to be part of like a big reason like the engine of the KC offense
MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost
I think he's going to have a really like a breakout season... I'm all in on Marshawn Lloyd and his draft calls for fantasy.
Dalton Kincaid to outplay his draft cost (round nine)
I think Kincaid's a nice pick here... Kincaid this late to be your tight end one. The upside is there.
Bo Nix to outplay his draft cost (one of the last quarterbacks to go)
Bo Nix, to me, is the best value... So great value on Bo Nix this year.
Jalen Hurts to outplay his draft cost
I'm actually talking about Jalen Hurts, who's one of the best values on the board for fantasy... He's going to cook this year.
Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost
The big takeaway for me with Kyler Murray is I am much more in on Jordan Mason this year.
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.
Chig Okonkwo to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 16.07)
TE Chig Okonkwo , Washington Commanders (ADP: 16.07) ... Chig Okonkwo finally has the volume coming

Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost (ECR: RB34)
Blake Corum (RB – LAR) | ECR: RB34 ... Corum is one of my favorite running back picks to make during the middle rounds.

Rico Dowdle to outplay his draft cost (ECR: RB30)
Rico Dowdle (RB – PIT) | ECR: RB30 ... he definitely fits as a Zero RB target. Aim to target Dowdle as early as the seventh round.

Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost (ECR: RB25)
Jadarian Price (RB – SEA) | ECR: RB25 ... Considering his first-round draft capital, Price should see plenty of volume early, making him one of the first running backs to target for this build.

Woody Marks to outplay his draft cost (ECR: RB44)
Woody Marks (RB – HOU) | ECR: RB44 ... He offers some late-round upside at an RB4 price tag ... Marks projects as one of the final running backs worth drafting before a significant tier drop.

Tony Pollard to outplay his draft cost (ECR: RB29)
Tony Pollard (RB – TEN) | ECR: RB29 — Here’s a running back who’s fairly priced ... the Titans may need to lean on Pollard in both the run and screen game.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 1, 2026 Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost
2026 Fantasy Football Draft Advice: Late-Round QBs to Target ... Tyler Shough (NO)
Jordan Love to outplay his draft cost
Here are late-round quarterbacks Derek Brown loves to target... Love's QB2 production is priced into his ADP; his upside as a QB1 is not.
