Off-The-Radar Fantasy Football Sleepers Who Could Make Noise - Tyler Johnson, Hayden Hurst, Justin Watson, and more
The term "sleeper" has been overused and abused by the fantasy community. The fact is that almost anyone can be a sleeper if you frame it the right way.

Danny Gray Could Be A Dark-Horse Contributor
San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Danny Gray has been too fast for anyone to cover one-on-one if the team gives quarterback Trey Lance enough time to throw this summer. Gray has the potential to be a dark-horse fantasy contributor in his rookie season, and fantasy managers can expect chunk yards and at least a […]
Trey Sermon On The Roster Bubble
San Francisco 49ers second-year running back Trey Sermon appears to be on the roster bubble with training camp nearing an end. Elijah Mitchell, Jeff Wilson Jr. and rookie Tyrion Davis-Price should be assured roster spots. It will come down to Sermon, JaMycal Hasty and Jordan Mason for one spot.
