Running Back Sleepers
-
Rhamondre Stevenson (Patriots)
Still a late-round value (around RB39 ADP), Stevenson offers a safe floor with early-down workload upside in a steady Patriots offense. -
Isaac Guerendo (49ers)
Now a key handcuff behind McCaffrey; with Mitchell gone and injury concerns mounting, Guerendo could see meaningful touches in a run-heavy offense. -
Will Shipley (Eagles)
Impressed late in 2024, and in a high-powered Eagles offense, he could morph into a low-cost RB2 or high-end flex starter. -
Jacory Croskey-Merritt (Commanders)
A seventh-round rookie generating buzz with his camp performance. With Brian Robinson Jr. traded and Ekeler not a clear every-down back, he could seize a two-down role. T -
Brian Robinson Jr. (Commanders)
Despite his now questionable availability due to the trade, he remains a sleeper with reliable production and goal-line role potential.
Wide Receiver Sleepers
-
Marvin Mims Jr. (Broncos)
With elite speed and expected target share in Denver’s offense, Mims is a late-round dart throw with breakout upside. Cedric Tillman (Browns) -
Was on fire before injury in 2024; now positioned as a WR2 behind Jerry Jeudy with a full offseason to build chemistry, offering serious late-draft value.
-
Jalen McMillan (Buccaneers)
Stepped up strong in Godwin’s absence last year, posting multiple touchdowns. With injury concerns lingering for Godwin, McMillan is a high-upside sleeper. -
Alec Pierce (Colts)
With one of the best yards-per-catch averages in the league and significant big-play upside, he’s a low-cost option in deeper leagues. -
Romeo Doubs (Packers)
Despite Green Bay’s crowded WR room, Doubs led in route participation and target share in 2024. His rapport with Jordan Love and efficiency metrics make him a sneaky mid-round value.

Strategy Tips
-
RB strategy: Prioritize high-upside backs like Croskey-Merritt and Guerendo in the late rounds—especially if your league favors handcuffs or running-heavy rosters. Stevenson and Shipley provide safe floor while still delivering upside.
-
WR strategy: Mims and Tillman are great picks in the mid-to-late rounds. In deeper leagues, McMillan, Pierce, and Doubs offer more ceiling than draft capital suggests—perfect value picks.
