Kirk Cousins - Still Underrated?
In 2018, Kirk Cousins finished as the fantasy QB13, which is just at the edge of the QB1 tier. So why did Fantasy Football Twitter collectively decide that Cousins was a complete bust last season? Well, Cousins had gotten a lot of hype behind him when he went to Minnesota. He'd finished as a top-10 fantasy quarterback […]
2019 IDP Draft Sleepers
I've been playing in IDP leagues for the last couple of years, but I've never ventured into the world of writing about IDP leagues. But one goal I have as a fantasy analyst is to expand my horizon a little each year, and this year that goal is to write some about IDP leagues. To […]
Don't Sleep on These Quarterbacks
Take’em high and let’em fly. Sit and wait. These are both options to play when looking at the quarterback position in fantasy football. Is the high draft pick used on Patrick Mahomes worth it when looking at who else you could have taken? If you think so, then this article is not for you. But […]
Five Must-Have Targets in the Middle Rounds
If you've been playing fantasy football for long enough, you are well aware of the value of middle-round draft picks. Maybe some of your less-invested league mates mail it in after the big names are off the board, but you know the players taken in the middle rounds have the potential to alter the course […]
Must-Own PPR Wide Receivers with Late ADP
Some fantasy football players make a mistake in their draft preparation by not putting more of an emphasis into the latter stages of a draft. Sure, there is a possibility that some of your longshot selections might not be on your roster by Week 3, but why not give yourself a chance to strike gold […]
Albert Wilson (WR, MIA) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
The Miami Dolphins are going through a lot of change heading into 2019. They released former quarterback Ryan Tannehill, running back Frank Gore, and head coach Adam Gase. They have also notably brought in two new quarterbacks in Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen, and welcome a rookie head coach in Brian Flores. One thing that […]
Late-Round Tight Ends Who Will Outperform Their ADP
Show me a tight end, and I'll show you a dice. And most probably, one with way more than six faces. Fantasy football is not new. We are not new to fantasy football neither. Everybody goes by the strategy of drafting RB/WR, RB/WR, RB/WR (ad infinitum), QB, TE, rest of the bunch. There are owners […]
Why Tyrell Williams Can Be a Starting Fantasy WR in 2019
Unexpected productivity from a late-round wide receiver in your fantasy drafts can help to pave your way to a championship. Scouting out these diamonds in the rough before your pick is on the clock often involves subverting the negative consensus expectations for a player. Newly acquired Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams isn't getting much […]
Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Heading into the 2019 season, a lot of hype surrounds the Cleveland Browns. Most of this hype revolves around second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield and his likely progression from a season ago, as well as the recent addition of Odell Beckham Jr. to the roster. The Browns finished 2018 with a record of 7-8-1, which was good […]
Donte Moncrief (WR, PIT) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Donte Moncrief signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason and immediately jumped onto the fantasy football radar. He spent the 2018 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars after spending the first four years of his career as a member of the Indianapolis Colts, the team who drafted him. Wide receiver is easily the deepest position […]
Team Defense (D/ST) Draft Sleepers
Football is a fickle game. NFL defenses can be the same. A defense can be good one year and not so good the next. The common sentiment is the need to get rid of defenses in fantasy football. While this much like the kicker, debate is a good thought, it has not happened yet. Until […]
Devin Singletary (RB, BUF) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
With the 11th pick in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select Devin Singletary from Florida Atlantic University. When this selection was made, Bills' fans probably did not know much about the young Singletary. Singletary is a 5'7 203lb running back out of a small and rather unknown university, but […]
Quarterback Stat Sleepers - Adjusted Completion Percentage
There are plenty of factors that go into a fantasy quarterback's success in any given season. While some passers could be said to be more "accurate" than others, completion percentage isn't the most reliable of metrics. This is because it can easily be skewed by the talent around a quarterback, dropped passes, and various other […]

Players to Prioritize in PPR but Fade in Standard Leagues
The fantasy industry continues to unveil nuances in the scoring settings of various formats. This provides a growing collection of possibilities that owners can include in their smorgasbord of league options in 2019. But as refinements in scoring and lineup composition continue, the prominent settings of PPR and Standard scoring will retain their high level of […]
Tre'Quan Smith (WR, NO) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Tre'Quan Smith of the New Orleans Saints is primed for a breakout campaign in 2019. While many expected him to produce much more than he did as a rookie, we have to remember that it sometimes takes players a year or two to adjust to the league. While he is currently listed as the number […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling (WR, GB) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Marquez Valdes-Scantling is a dynamite sleeper at the wide receiver position in 2019 fantasy football drafts. His current ADP is hovering around the 130 mark, which translates to him being taken as the number 49 wide receiver off the board. This is an absolute steal. Valdes-Scantling had a tremendous 2018 rookie campaign as far as […]
Five Very Deep Wide Receiver Sleepers
Sleepers sleepers sleepers sleepers. With fantasy football season in full swing, I know you're already tired of the word "sleeper," especially when people will basically use the word for any player. "Yes, dude in my fantasy league, please tell me more about your big sleeper pick for this year, Saquon Barkley." Clearly, there's a need […]
Team Defenses (D/ST) to Target in Fantasy Drafts
One of the last selections that are typically made each year during drafts is the selection of team defenses in fantasy. Different strategies are put in to place when it comes to this process. Do you start the run early by going after one of the elite units of the league or let them go […]
Lamar Jackson (QB, BAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Heading into your fantasy football draft, remember that quarterback is not a position you need to target early in the draft. Historically, there always are sleepers available late that could help you win a championship. We had a perfect example of this last season with Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes was only the 16th-ranked quarterback in drafts […]
Is the Next Tom Brady Out There?
In what has been described as a lackluster rookie quarterback class, there is really not a lot of value beyond the top couple of picks in dynasty leagues. But we know there are always hidden gems and players that take us by surprise. Kyler Murray, Dwayne Haskins and maybe Daniel Jones will get plenty of starting time […]
Duke Johnson to Houston - Fantasy Impact
Running back Duke Johnson was not happy when the Browns signed Kareem Hunt. He had been vocal about wanting out of Cleveland since the spring, especially after seeing his usage go down in 2018. In the past, that may have not seemed like an odd request. This year, though, the Browns were the darlings of […]
Michael Gallup - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper
Heading into your 2019 fantasy football draft, there are a number of sleepers to consider at various positions, but as we all know, finding the correct wide receiver sleeper can be a tall task based on the sheer number of players available at the position. This year, Michael Gallup of the Dallas Cowboys is a […]
Nick Mariano's 2019 PPR Sleepers List (Premium Content)
All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Sleeper has become a dirty word to me, as both writer and reader, but there's no doubting its place in our fantasy lexicon. I do think that everyone that uses it then needs to define what it means within the context of the article. […]
Second Chance - Antonio Callaway
We have now advanced into August as our journey through the offseason nears its conclusion. Several developments during training camps have impacted the value for various players while preseason matchups will alter the fantasy landscape even further. Activities have also intensified for owners in redraft leagues, who are experiencing a massive surge in preparations for […]
Players to Prioritize in Standard Leagues but Fade in PPR
Some of us still really enjoy playing in standard leagues, even though standard scoring has become the villain of the fantasy world according to some people. My home league has played standard since it started and it's fun to have a league where I have to think about fantasy football in a completely different way. […]
Must-Own Breakout Running Backs with Late ADP
As fantasy football drafts get later and later, it gets more and more difficult to figure out who you should pick. Some people respond to this by saying "ehh, I'll just do whatever and figure things out on the waiver wire." And, well...yes, you're going to need to figure things out on the waiver wire […]

RotoBaller fantasy football lead editor/analyst Pierre Camus (@pfunk00) and NFL writer/ranker Chris Mangano (@ChrisMangano) list their deep sleepers to watch in fantasy football leagues.
