Now that we're seeing a few preseason games, are there any sleepers that you guys may have observed that aren't on the "Sleepers" lists, or that are maybe flying under the radar?

As a Saints fan, I'm hopeful that Jared Cook will be that guy oh, but I'm sure every team has a guy that has the potential to put up much bigger numbers than where he's being drafted.

He's ranked fairly highly, but I, for one, could never get behind Chris Godwin as a serious WR2. But, he's owned the preseason.

Godwin could be this year's JuJu.

Edit: That said, I think he's getting a bit too much hype which is inflating his price...so not exactly a great value. I got JuJu for $13 last year.

Duke Johnson
K. Ballage
Peyton Barber

McLaurin will end up be the Redskins #1 WR this season. Now that’s not saying much, but he will certainly be worth drafting. You can thank me later.

You think Jared Cook is flying under the radar?

Delanie I agree
Olsen is old. His injuries have compounded. He may see a favorable red zone share but he’s not gonna get enough targets outside of it to do much

Let me be clear, I think he's a guy who could far out-produce ADP.

If he produced at an 80% of Jimmy Graham level, he's still great value in the 6th or 7th round

I’m going to reach a bit for Ronald Jones. Peyton Barber may be the worst starting RB in the league. No way he stays the starter under Bruce Arians who favors fast athletic backs

Thoughts on Latavius Murray? Seems to be criminally underrated at his current ADP and his usage should be similar to that of Ingram in the Saints O with maybe even more goal line work.

Delanie is older than Greg Olsen and is coming off a broken ankle / ligament damage. Odds are stacked against him too

I don’t mind Murray as long as he’s not drafted into a starting roster spot. RB3 or 4 and see what happens

And yet Ronald Jones can’t beat him out.

Dude had a historically terrible rookie season at one of the easiest positions to make an impact at as a rookie. He was lousy at pretty much every metric you’d use to measure RB performance.

The bucs RB isn’t on the roster currently it sounds like. See who gets cut. Keep seeing Kenneth Dixon name coming up

These all seem like guys that could give you some great value vs their ADP/Price.

Jameis Winston
Emmanuel Sanders
Tony Pollard

He never got his chance. The guy was a healthy scratch for half the season because Dirk Koeter’s stubbornness to keep pounding barber for 3 yards and a cloud of dust. I have to believe he gets an opportunity this year in a more spread type scheme that favors his style. He can’t be worse than Barber

I’m not saying I’m going to draft him in the top 5 rounds but looking at him as a sleeper late
