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

Tua Tagovailoa Receives Endorsement From New Teammate

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has plenty of pressure on him as he enters his third year at the professional level.

Desmond Ridder To See Starts In Rookie Season?

It seems like a matter of when, not if, Atlanta Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder gets to start in his first NFL season, in the opinion of SI.com's Daniel Flick.
