If your draft is coming up this weekend or even if you already had your draft and you’re trying to tweak your roster a bit, sleepers that emerge late in camp can sometimes represent great value since many publications may not have the latest on their situation.

There’s a few players that have had a sudden value spike in the last week or so due to injury, opportunity, or playing their way into a bigger role. Week 3 of the preseason is behind us, so the last chance to see most starters is past and just the final roster decisions remain.
