The Deepest Dive - TE Sleepers in 16+ Team Leagues

Superflex Quarterback Deep Draft Sleepers - Trevor Lawrence, Daniel Jones, Marcus Mariota

In fantasy football, there are "sleepers," or players we expect to outproduce their average draft position (ADP), and then there are "deep sleepers."

Buy Back into Trevor Lawrence After Disastrous Rookie Season

Draft or Fade? The Saquon Barkley Dilemma

Just the fact that the man will carry the ball […]
