The term “sleeper” is often tossed around in the Fantasy Football world, and it is likely defined in various ways by the person utilizing the term. For me, a “sleeper” is a player whose market value is very low, but they can actually be of greater use to Fantasy Football lineups. These are players completely overlooked now, but can be impactful later. We are going for the non-obvious here.
What!? Your fantasy football league wasn’t hosted on Fantrax this season!? Once you see how Fantrax stacks up to the competition, we think you’ll be singing a different tune next season.
So with that definition, I will run through all 32 teams and give you a Dynasty Fantasy Football sleeper on each of them. Some teams will be tougher than others to name someone from, but I will have context of some sort for each pick. If you like what you read for an individual player, the action would be to buy them low in your league, include them in a bigger package trade deal, or pick them up off the waiver wire. Let’s get it
32 Teams – 32 Dynasty Fantasy Football Sleepers
1. Arizona – Jacoby Brissett (QB)
The Cardinals cut ties with Kyler Murray, passed on other “bigger” quarterback names, and signed Gardner Minshew this offseason. Which means Jacoby Brissett should be lined up to start at quarterback in 2026, pending what happens in the NFL Draft. The Cardinals threw the ball a league-high 649 times in 2025, and in Weeks 6-18 as the starter, Brissett averaged 280.5 passing yards, 1.9 passing touchdowns, 0.67 interceptions, 13.8 rushing yards, and 18.94 Fantasy Points per game during that stretch. Brissett could again deliver in Super Flex formats.
2. Atlanta – Jahan Dotson (WR)
The Falcons signed Jahan Dotson to a two-year, $15 million contract this offseason. Jahan Dotson was a former first-round selection by the Commanders in 2022, and he flashed as a rookie, earning 61 targets, catching 35 of them for 523 yards, and scoring seven touchdowns through 12 games played. Dotson trended down the next three seasons from there, but could have certainly benefited from learning from AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith in Philly. Dotson now lands on a Falcons team that upgraded their quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa, and I believe he beats out Olamide Zaccheaus to be the WR2 behind Drake London. Dotson could have FLEX potential in the future.
3. Baltimore – Mark Andrews (TE)
This submission may not seem as “deep”, but the market value for Mark Andrews via the Keep Trade Cut website is at TE20, which feels like a potential steal. Isaiah Likely is now a Giant, which cuts out the thoughts of Likely beating out Andrews. Lamar Jackson missed time in 2025, so let’s just hope 2026 means a full season, as he and Andrews have always had a great connection. Andrews just scored 11 touchdowns back in 2024. Going back 2024-2019, Andrews has averaged 11.1 (#7), 13.5 (#5), 12.7 (#3), 17.7 (#1), 12.2 (#4), and 13.8 (#5) Fantasy PPG. Andrews could be a useful veteran Fantasy producer in 2026, despite a down 2025.
4. Buffalo – Ray Davis (RB)
Ray Davis carried the bulk of the work in Buffalo in Week 18 of 2025 against the Jets. Davis rushed 21 times for 151 yards and caught two balls for 23 yards and a receiving touchdown, which was 25.4 Fantasy Points. Say what you want about the competition at the time or his touches for the entire year, but you cannot dismiss that flash of major upside if he ever received those touches again. Davis is a solid handcuff behind James Cook for Fantasy Football to stash
5. Carolina – John Metchie III (WR)
The Panthers signed John Metchie III to a one-year deal this offseason. Metchie has dealt with extreme adversity his entire football career, so it was nice to see him flash as a Jet last season. 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 11, 65 yards and a touchdown in Week 12, and 41 yards in Week 17. Fun fact: Metchie reunites with Bryce Young, from whom he caught 96 balls in 2021 at Alabama for 1,142 yards and eight touchdowns. This connection could pop up in 2026 if Metchie earns a sticky role in this Panthers offense.
6. Chicago – Cole Kmet (TE)
If there was such a thing as a “handcuff tight end” in Fantasy Football, Cole Kmet would be one of the very few I would ever mention, behind Colston Loveland. Kmet produced 719 yards back in 2023, and has finished three seasons with 544+ receiving yards in his career as a former starter. Kmet is an underrated talent in general, who could be stashed for a future trade that lands him in an opportunity one day that means being a starter again. Because, for me, he is talented enough to be a starter.
7. Cincinnati – Tahj Brooks (RB)
The Bengals drafted Tahj Brooks in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Texas Tech. Brooks produced 1,610 then 1,704 scrimmage yards during his final two college seasons, and totaled 28 touchdowns during those two years. While Brooks was limited to 17 touches in his rookie season, he should still be stashed in the event he either grows into a larger role in a solid offense, or he at least wins the handcuff role behind Chase Brown.
8. Cleveland – Jerry Jeudy (WR)
Jerry Jeudy is deemed “dead” in Dynasty due to a poor 2025 season on a poor Browns offense, despite only being 26 years old and having previous solid seasons. Jeudy still earned 106 targets in 2025, but only caught 50 of those for 602 yards and two scores. The year prior, Jeudy exploded with 144 targets, 90 receptions, 1,229 receiving yards, four touchdowns, and 14.2 Fantasy PPG. Back in 2022, through 15 games, Jeudy produced 972 yards, six touchdowns, and 13.6 Fantasy PPG. The Browns quarterback room is a question, and they can certainly draft a solid wide receiver, but I am hanging onto my skillset perception of Jeudy, which can again translate into Fantasy production.
9. Dallas – Ryan Flournoy (WR)
Ryan Flournoy had some spike weeks for Fantasy Football in 2025. Six catches for 114 yards in Week 5, nine catches for 115 yards in Week 14, and four receiving touchdowns scored. If all of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jake Ferguson are healthy, Florunoy’s impact can be next to zero, but in the event someone is out, he could pop again. Deep league stash with potential best ball upside.
10. Denver – Marvin Mims Jr. (WR)
Marvin Mims Jr. flashed a handful of times in 2025. Six catches for 69 yards and a rushing touchdown in Week 4, six catches for 85 yards in Week 7, eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Divisional Playoffs, six catches for 62 yards in the AFC Championship, and 78 rushing yards on the year. Mims was already competing with Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant, but now Jaylen Waddle was added to be the new WR1. Mims’ explosiveness and gadget potential usage still make him intriguing, and he is also a candidate to be traded elsewhere in the future with a deeper wide receiver room.
11. Detroit – Isaac TeSlaa (WR)
The Lions selected Isaac TeSlaa in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Arkansas. TeSlaa shone in preseason, but ultimately had an uphill battle to find a sticky role with the likes of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Sam LaPorta to compete with for targets. TeSlaa did end up scoring six touchdowns on the year through just 27 targets, which means he scored on 22.22% of his receptions. TeSlaa can grow into a larger role for 2026, but even if not, he has shown flashes of upside and should be stashed in case of an injury that would elevate his role in a solid Detroit offense.
12. Green Bay – Jayden Reed (WR)
Jayden Reed opened up 2025 catching three balls for 45 yards and a touchdown, but would unfortunately suffer a broken collarbone in Week 2, that would mean not returning until Week 14. Reed would go on to have a few decent games, but he did catch four of his seven targets for 43 yards and a touchdown with 14 rushing yards in the Packers’ playoff loss. In 2024, Reed caught 55 balls for 857 yards and scored six touchdowns, and as a second-round rookie in 2023, he caught 64 balls for 793 yards and scored eight touchdowns. In 2023, Reed rushed for 119 yards, and then in 202,4 he rushed for 163 yards, which shows his creative usage and role versatility. For me, the WR1 role in Green Bay is still wide open for 2026. Matthew Golden had a mediocre rookie campaign as a first-round pick, Christian Watson looked solid but has a concerning injury history, and Romeo Doubs is now a Patriot. Reed is the most dynamic, versatile receiver on this roster.
13. Houston – Tank Dell (WR)
Tank Dell suffered a horrible injury in 2024, suffering a dislocated knee, a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL, and additional meniscus damage, requiring several surgeries. Dell was recently caught on tape working out, looking healthy this offseason. Through 11 games as a rookie, Dell caught 47 of his 75 targets for 709 yards and seven touchdowns, which was 15 Fantasy PPG. The next season in 2024, Dell caught 51 of his 81 targets for 667 yards and three touchdowns through 14 games. While Dell will have to compete for targets with Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, and Xavier Hutchinson, we cannot deny the strong connection that has been displayed between him and CJ Stroud.
14. Indianapolis – Riley Leonard (QB)
Riley Leonard capped off his rookie campaign in 2025 with a major performance. Riley finished 21/34 (61.8%) for 270 passing yards, with two passing touchdowns, an interception, 21 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown, and 20.6 Fantasy Points. The Colts did sign Daniel Jones to a big two-year contract, but he is coming off of a major Achilles injury. Anthony Richardson is actively seeking a trade this offseason as well. Leonard could open up 2026 as the starter until Jones is back, in a solid offense, which could be useful in those Super Flex leagues.
15. Jacksonville – Chris Rodriguez (RB)
The Jaguars signed Chris Rodriguez to a two-year deal this offseason, with Travis Etienne joining the Saints. Rodriguez reunites with Head Coach Liam Coen, who was the offensive coordinator at Kentucky with Rodriguez back in 2021. That season, Rodriguez rushed for 1,379 yards and nine touchdowns. Rodriguez rushed 112 times for 500 yards in 2025 and scored six touchdowns through 13 games played for the Commanders. Rodriguez can now compete with Bhayshul Tuten to create a committee for the Jaguars.
16. Kansas City – Justin Fields (QB)
The Chiefs traded for Justin Fields this offseason to take on their QB2 role behind Patrick Mahomes, which means that Fields could end up being the QB1 while Mahomes recovers from his ACL injury. Justin Fields has played 13 games across the last two seasons for the Jets and Steelers at 70%+ of the snaps, and across those games, he has averaged 19.5 Fantasy Points. Fields rushed for 1,143 yards back in 2022 for the Bears, the second most in a single season by a quarterback ever. Fields also averaged 18.4 and 20.5 Fantasy PPG in 2023 and 2022. If Fields gets a few starts for the Chiefs while Mahomes is recovering in 2026, he could have a huge Fantasy impact.
17. Los Angeles – Tre Harris (WR)
In 2024, Tre Harris led the nation with 128.8 receiving yards per game and was later selected by the Chargers in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Harris did not have tons of flashes as a rookie outside of 49/54 yards in Weeks 15/16 and a touchdown in Week 8. Keenan Allen is a Free Agent, which will free up 122 targets. Mike McDaniel was hired as the new Offensive Coordinator for LA, which should be a big upgrade for this offense in general. Harris can step up in year two in what could be a better run offense, with more target potential, and may even fight off Quentin Johnston for that WR2 role behind Ladd McConkey.
18. Los Angeles – Blake Corum (RB)
Blake Corum took substantial leaps from year one to year two in 2025. 58 rushing attempts to 145, 207 rushing yards to 746, 3.6 to 5.1 yards per carry, and zero rushing touchdowns to six. Corum finished seven weeks with double-digit rushing attempts, three weeks with over 70 rushing yards, and exploded for 128 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns in Week 14. Via playerprofiler, Corum finished 15th in yards per touch, 15th in breakaway runs, and second in explosive rating. Corum also rushed for 119 yards through three playoff games for the Rams last season. Corum can continue to create even more of a committee with Kyren Williams in 2026, which would mean more stand-alone value for Fantasy.
19. Las Vegas – Tre Tucker (WR)
Tre Tucker led the Raiders in targets (92), finished second in receptions (57), led in receiving yards (696), and scored five touchdowns. Tucker broke Fantasy Football in Week 3, catching eight balls for 145 yards and three touchdowns for 40.9 Fantasy Points. Tucker finished five weeks with double-digit Fantasy Points. Brock Bowers missed time in 2025 but should regain the lead target role, Jalen Nailor was signed, and there is hope for the young guns in Jack Bech and Dont’e Thornton. Tucker feels overlooked. Fernando Mendoza will be a great upgrade to this offense that could help Tucker be a more consistent FLEX option for Fantasy Football.
20. Miami – Jaylen Wright (RB)
De’Von Achane was the clear rushing leader for the Dolphins in 2025, with 238 carries for 1,350 yards. Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II split rushing attempts evenly, 70-70, but Wright out-carried Gordon, 288 to 199. Wright also played in seven fewer games than Gordon. Miami cut ties with Tua Tagovailoa, moved on from Tyreek Hill, signed Malik Willis, and just traded Jaylen Waddle. Sources say that De’Von Achane is not for sale, but I also saw the same about Waddle before being traded. If the Dolphins sell high on Achane, Wright could have significant touches in 2026.
21. Minnesota – TJ Hockenson (TE)
TJ Hockenson was once a dominant Fantasy tight end, but the last two seasons have greatly impacted that with the context of poor quarterback play in 2025 and playing 10 games in 2024. In 2023 and 2022, Hock earned 127/129 targets, caught 95/86 of those for 960/914 yards, and averaged 14.6/12.7 Fantasy Points. Hockenson now gets a solid quarterback upgrade in Kyler Murray for 2026. In Kyler’s last full season in 2024, Trey McBride caught 111 of his 147 targets for 1,146 yards. This should be encouraging for Hockenson in 2026.
22. New England – Kayshon Boutte (WR)
The Patriots replaced Stefon Diggs with Romeo Doubs this offseason and have been rumored to be a potential AJ Brown destination. In the event the Patriots do not add another wide receiver this offseason, Kayshon Boutte could have FLEX potential in 2026. Boutte had some flashes in 2026 with five catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns in Week 6, 55 yards and a touchdown in Week 7, 75 yards and a touchdown in Week 8, and 35 yards and a touchdown in Week 13. Boutte also led the Patriots through four games in the NFL Playoffs with 168 receiving yards, which was 39 more than anyone else on the roster. With 550+ yards in back-to-back seasons, year three in Drake Maye’s second full season as a starter could be a leap in production.
23. New Orleans – Devaughn Vele (WR)
Devaughn Vele had a stretch of games well connected with Tyler Shough last year, Weeks 12-15, before finishing the season injured. During this four-game stretch, Vele averaged 6.5 targets, 4.75 receptions, and 59.75 receiving yards. Week 13 he caught eight balls for 93 yards and a score for 23.3 Fantasy Points. The Saints can certainly add a wide receiver via the NFL Draft, after spending up on Travis Etienne Jr. this offseason. If they do not add a solid wide receiver, Vele could have a solid opportunity to operate behind Chris Olave in that WR2 role.
24. New York – Darnell Mooney (WR)
The Giants signed Darnell Mooney to a one-year, $10 million contract this offseason. Mooney had a quiet 2025, but he did produce 992 yards on 107 targets in 2024 with a career-high 15.5 yards per catch with the Falcons. Back in 2021, Mooney produced 1,055 yards on 140 targets as a Bear. Jaxson Dart definitely looked the part as a rookie in 2025, and while Malik Nabers will return from injury to dominate, there is a role to be had with Mooney on the outside. Wan’Dale Robinson, now a Titan, also vacates 140 targets from 2025. As long as the Giants do not draft a wide receiver in the first round this year, Mooney could return some FLEX potential for Fantasy Football in 2026.
25. New York – Mason Taylor (TE)
The Jets selected Mason Taylor in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of LSU. Through 13 games played in 2025 with three different quarterbacks, Taylor led the Jets with 65 targets, led the team with 44 receptions, and finished second in receiving yards with 369 yards. Taylor’s best week came in Week 5 when he caught nine of his 12 targets for 67 yards, which was 17.7 Fantasy Points. Garrett Wilson spent most of last season injured, and Adonai Mitchell flashed potential, but Taylor should continue to hold a substantial role with Geno Smith now signed to be the QB1.Taylor could be a sneaky Top 12 candidate in 2026 for the position.
26. Philadelphia – Hollywood Brown (WR)
Hollywood Brown opened up 2025, catching 10 of his 16 Patrick Mahomes targets for 99 yards, which was 19.9 Fantasy Points. Another big flash was Week 6, where he caught four balls for 45 yards and scored two touchdowns, which was 20.5 Fantasy Points. Marquise Brown was a first-round draft pick by Baltimore in 2019, who spent time with the Cardinals before becoming a Chief. Brown has now signed a one-year contract with the Eagles. Through seven seasons, Hollywood has earned over 100 targets in four of them and produced 1,008 receiving yards in 2021. AJ Brown trade rumors have been rumbling all offseason, so in the event Brown does indeed get traded, there can be some Fantasy Football relevance for Brown on this Eagles squad.
27. Pittsburgh – Pat Freiermuth (TE)
The Steelers cut ties with Jonnu Smith, who tied Pat Freiermuth in targets for 2025, after a one-year run. Muth caught 41 balls for 486 yards while Smith caught 38 for 222 yards. Now, Muth will compete with just Darnell Washington in 2026. Freiermuth has three seasons earning 78-98 targets, seasons of 653 (2024) and 732 (2022) receiving yards, and two seasons with seven receiving touchdowns. Michael Pittman Jr. was added this offseason as a one-two punch with DK Metcalf for the wide receiver room, and the quarterback situation is still in question, but Muth can get back to being Fantasy relevant again in 2026 as he was consistently before.
28. Seattle – Tory Horton (WR)
The Seahawks selected Tory Horton in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Horton played in just eight games, but displayed obvious touchdown upside with five touchdowns scored through them. Cooper Kupp will be 33 come the 2026 season, and has had a history of injuries through time. There is a world here where Horton sees an extended role in 2026 and continues showing his touchdown upside attached to Sam Darnold.
29. San Francisco – Jake Tonges (TE)
George Kittle unfortunately tore his Achilles in January, which should mean time missed in 2026. Especially at the age of 32. If the 49ers are smart and have Super Bowl aspirations, they would also be hesitant to rush Kittle back. Insert Jake Tonges. Tonges finished weeks with 58 (Week 4), 41 (Week 5), 58 (Week 6), and 60 (Week 17) receiving yards in 2025. Tonges also scored five touchdowns on the year. Tonges actually looked the part and should be a competent replacement for Kittle while he is out if the 49ers do not draft one of the top tight ends from this year’s incoming rookie class.
30. Tampa Bay – Chris Godwin (TB)
Chris Godwin has been held to 16 games played the last two seasons, which has really impacted his Dynasty Fantasy Football value. He did average 19.7 Fantasy PPG in 2024, despite only playing seven games. This is also the same guy who has four seasons over 1,000 receiving yards, and four seasons of 15+ Fantasy PPG. Mike Evans is now a 49er, so Baker Mayfield will emphasize the duo of Godwin and sophomore Emeka Egbuka in 2026. This could mean a bounce-back Fantasy season for Godwin at 30 years old.
31. Tennessee – Chimere Dike (TEN)
In 2025, rookie Chimere Dike broke the all-time rookie record for all-purpose yards with 2,427. Dike was explosive as a returner, but also flashed as a receiver as well. Dike caught four balls for 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 7, he caught seven passes for 93 yards in Week 8, he caught five balls for 44 yards and a touchdown in Week 12, five catches for 24 yards and a touchdown in Week 14, three catches for 40 yards in Week 16, and five catches for 55 yards in Week 17. Although the Titans paid up for Wan’Dale Robinson, Dike is too explosive not to be utilized. Year two can be a big step into FLEX potential for Dike as a guy they can use for some offensive flare.
32. Washington – Rachaad White (RB)
As a third-round rookie in 2022 for the Buccaneers, Rachaad White caught 50 balls, which was top-12 for the position. This was on a Tom Brady-led offense that had Leonard Fournette as the lead back, who also caught 73 passes. White would then operate as a workhorse back in 2023, rushing 272 times for 990 yards, catching 64 balls for 549 yards, scoring nine touchdowns, and averaging 15.8 Fantasy PPG (#10). Bucky Irving was drafted the next season and earned a major role, but White still rushed for 613 yards, caught 51 passes for 393 yards, and scored nine touchdowns. White capped off his 2025 season with 572 rushing yards, 40 receptions for 218 receiving yards, and four touchdowns. The Commanders could certainly draft Jeremiyah Love, but if not, I would predict White to lead this team in running back touches for 2026. Washington had a vision for Austin Ekeler before his injury that White can also fill for this team.
