Fantasy Football Sleepers and Values

My last value guy is HIGHLY dependent on the end result of what we like to call a Mexican standoff. The LA Chargers are currently in an interesting situation where Melvin Gordon is holding out for more money. Phillip Rivers has been in the media sort of playing both sides of the fence saying Gordon is important to the team but ultimately they need to march forward.

The guy running with the starters right now in camp is Austin Ekeler and he is being drafted in the 7th round right now. Depending on whether we have news on Gordon by the time you’re having your draft, Ekeler’s ADP could change drastically. However, if you’re drafting anytime soon or doing some best ball leagues, draft this guy in the 7th or later and you have an excellent chance at exceeding his value.

He started 3 games last year and ended the season with 6 touchdowns and nearly 1000 yards from scrimmage. He is truly electrifying and catches the ball really well which is always a huge boon to value in PPR leagues.
