Fantasy Football Sleepers and Values

These two guys are definitely not sleepers but I could argue they can be excellent value. I think we can all agree that Green Bay has an explosive offense, right? Many would consider Rodgers to be the GOAT regardless of rings because of his talent. He’s got targets like Davante Adams who is INCREDIBLE, Jimmy Graham who should do better after spending more time with A-a-Ron, and other wide receivers like MVS.

What I’m hinting at here is that getting a running back in an offense that is looking to score a lot of points is generally a great thing. Goal-line and red zone opportunities are something you want to target with any position. With a good offense, you can expect that the running back on said offense will receive more touchdown opportunities than on a bad offense, right? And with more opportunities to score, you are giving your guy a higher chance of getting you more points. It’s not terribly complicated.

Aaron Jones solidified himself as a solid running back last year but not quite to the point where people are immediately thinking of him as top tier. I’m here to tell you that if you can draft Aaron Jones near the end of the 3rd round or hopefully even in the 4th, you could be drafting yourself a top 5 fantasy running back. At that ADP (average draft position), that is an incredible value to me because odds are you’ve taken 2 absolute studs with your 1st and 2nd round pick already.
