12 fantasy football sleepers for your draft: The final 2026 list
With one final round of fantasy football drafts before the 2026 NFL season begins, here are some sleepers to target late in your drafts.
It's only a few days until Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season, leaving fantasy football players scrambling for late draft targets. To assist in this quest, we present a final list of fantasy football sleepers to consider during your draft.
Starting with the quarterbacks, look out for Malik Willis with the Miami Dolphins. Willis possesses the potential to reach the top-12 in QB rankings, driven by his ability to run and throw late in games when the Dolphins are trailing. Quarterback Jordan Love of the Green Bay Packers may also break through this season, given the impressive performance of his pass-catching teammates.
On the running back side, keep an eye on Blake Corum of the Los Angeles Rams. Corum is likely to maintain his RB1 status, but his fantasy value could increase if the Rams bolster their run game. Backup RB Kenny Gainwell from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is another sleeper to consider, especially if he's given ample opportunities in Tampa.
The Minnesota Vikings' RB Jordan Mason could see a significant improvement in his fantasy production with Kyler Murray under center. In the passing game, rookie WR Wan Dale Robinson of the Tennessee Titans might emerge as a FLEX option, thanks to the $38 million guaranteed contract he signed and the coaching acumen of Brian Daboll. Even rookie WR Quentin Johnston from the Los Angeles Chargers could see an uptick in his role and production if the Chargers' offensive line and McDaniel's offense flourish.
Wide receivers Quentin Johnston and KC Concepcion of the Cleveland Browns are intriguing options, as the Browns may rely more on passing this season due to quarterback uncertainty. TE Juwan Johnson of the New Orleans Saints could greatly benefit from the absence of rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson.
Finally, TE Isaiah Likely from the New York Giants might also see an increase in his fantasy value as he gained opportunities behind Mark Andrews during his time with the Baltimore Ravens. Lastly, TE Brenton Strange of the Jacksonville Jaguars could return to his starting form behind Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr.
