Every sleeper calls take
626–650 of 2,775
Tyler Warren to outplay his draft cost
Tyler Warren had a fantastic rookie season as the TE10 in fantasy points per game, but there was plenty of meat left on the bone
- PendingFantasyProsSleeper Calls
Tank Bigsby to outplay his draft cost
The most talented handcuff nobody talks about. Behind Saquon Barkley in Philadelphia, Bigsby is buried, but his 2025 efficiency was genuinely elite

MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (late-RB2 or top-of-RB3 range)
His stock has risen sharply, and he now belongs in the late-RB2 or top-of-RB3 range rather than as a dart throw.
MarShawn LloydGreen Bay Packers

Blake Corum to outplay his draft cost
Another of the best handcuffs in fantasy... A high-floor insurance policy on a workhorse-usage backfield.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Sep 1, 2026 Mike Washington to outplay his draft cost
Washington should be considered one of the top backup running backs in fantasy football... Washington could provide some stand-alone fantasy value
MarShawn Lloyd to outplay his draft cost (RB36 (93rd overall))
If you have a fantasy draft this week, Lloyd should be a top-100 pick.
Xavier Worthy to outplay his draft cost (ADP: 11.11)
Here are 10 players being drafted in the 11th round or later who have the upside to become weekly must-start options... WR Xavier Worthy , Kansas City Chiefs (ADP: 11.11)
Jordan Mason to outplay his draft cost
Mason secures a powerful contingent upside profile in Minnesota while providing a strong fantasy floor
Michael Pittman to outplay his draft cost (after round eight)
If you're looking for a set-it-and-forget-it pick after round eight, Pittman is your best bet.
- PendingKurt BlakewaySleeper Calls
Dalton Schultz to outplay his draft cost (the final few rounds of drafts)
You can target Schultz in the final few rounds of drafts, giving you plenty of upside without having to spend premium draft capital.

Cyrus Allen to outplay his draft cost
If both falter, Cyrus Allen could emerge as a fantasy football asset during the season... Allen is a fun bench stash to see how the wideouts ahead of him perform.

Malik Willis to outplay his draft cost (the last round of your draft)
This is the easiest click in almost every single draft. At his current average draft position (ADP), Malik Willis is practically free. Of all the quarterbacks I have mentioned, he carries the most upside at cost.
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 31, 2026 CeeDee Lamb to outplay his draft cost
it becomes easier to see Lamb as a value pick in this range. Betting on Lamb's well-established connection with Dak Prescott and this team as a whole to bounce back isn't the worst bet in the world.
Tyler Shough to outplay his draft cost (late-round quarterback)
Tyler Shough is a wonderful late-round quarterback who could be a QB1 in 2026.
Christian Watson to outplay his draft cost
Christian Watson's injury history will present you with a discount during drafts... But Watson is poised to smash in 2026 if he can stay healthy.
Bhayshul Tuten to outplay his draft cost
This could be the big breakout season for Tuten, who, on a per-touch basis, flashed the immense talent that I really liked when he was in college.
- PendingSteve KrebsSleeper Calls
Brock Purdy to outplay his draft cost (after the 10th round)
In Purdy, you're getting one of the most efficient and productive quarterbacks in the league after the 10th round.

Jake Ferguson to outplay his draft cost
while many are down on Jake Ferguson this season, there's reason to argue against these notions

Patrick Mahomes to outplay his draft cost (ADP of QB14)
Patrick Mahomes has an ADP of QB14, and if anyone can bounce back, it's Mahomes.
Patrick MahomesKansas City Chiefs
Waiting on the season to settle this.said Aug 31, 2026 Rachaad White to outplay his draft cost (dirt-cheap ADP)
Obviously, the risk with White is that he has not been able to completely separate himself from Day 3 RBs in the past (Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker), but that concern is more than accounted for in his dirt-cheap ADP.
Jadarian Price to outplay his draft cost (ADP 59.8 | RB 26)
Price has a chance to be a massive steal at his current ADP, especially given how he stood out during training camp.
James Cook to outplay his draft cost (ADP 9.6 | RB 5)
I happily draft him as the third running back off the board, easily ahead of Christian McCaffrey.
Jonah Coleman to outplay his draft cost (ADP 168.2 | RB 53)
Coleman is my favorite sleeper running back candidate and someone I want to draft in every league.
George Kittle to outplay his draft cost
George Kittle will be back on the field well before anticipated, after somehow rehabbing to be available for Week 1... Still, I’ll gobble up the discount for as long as it lasts.
Jared Goff to outplay his draft cost
Despite finishing as a top-10 quarterback in each of the last four seasons, Goff was continually ranked between QB16 and QB22, which blew my mind... Keep buying the dip.
