Fantasy Football Sleepers and Values

How firm thy friendship O-hiiiii-ohhhhh! I’m a big Ohio State fan (yes hate me if you must) so I may come off a bit biased here with this rookie sleeper pick. However, Parris Campbell exactly the type of guy I want to be looking at in the 12th round or later where he’s currently being drafted. A lot of people thought he was sort of a one-trick pony and speedster because of the overwhelming stats he has from screenplays.

However, I’m here to tell you he can do much more than just run the super short routes and all the reports from training camp are absolute rave reviews. I’m considering Parris to be a sleeper because again, his current ADP is in the 12th round and he’s going after other rookie wide receivers like N’Keal Harry and DK Metcalf and I think he has a better year than both of them (by a lot).

My last sleeper is a guy going in the 12th round also who could easily end the season as what we call an RB1 which is a top 12 running back fantasy-wise. However, this guy doesn’t play running back. *Drumroll please* …. he is quarterback Lamar Jackson! A guy I have zero faith in as an actual real-life quarterback BUT a guy who has incredible fantasy football value.

Last year he had 17 CARRIES PER GAME in the 7 games that he started. That is insane. They’re going to run the ball like crazy with him because he can but he’s also gotten some upgrades in talent around him and they’re not afraid to play towards his strengths. I’m snatching him up in the 12th round and I’m someone who always sits back and waits on drafting a quarterback. Not only is he a sleeper here but he also could be considered one of the best values. He also has almost no chance of being benched but given that he’ll be running a lot, be sure to draft a good back up a bit later as well.
