12 fantasy football sleepers for your draft: The final 2026 list
· Yahoo Sports
Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season (!) is just a few days away (!!), but that just means there are last-minute fantasy football drafts that you need to do. So we're here to help one more time with some names to target late.
Visit mchezo.life for more information.
You can also take a look at other fantasy football sleeper lists we've made for comparison and see how they stack up.
Although you might think you have pretty much all the information you can gather when it comes to rosters, roles and depth charts, let's go one more time with a final list of sleepers to consult as you get ready for your draft:
QB Malik Willis, Miami Dolphins
I think he's got the stuff to get close to top-12 QB numbers, and not just because he'll run a ton (but that's a good reason). He's also going to throw a lot when the Fins are behind in the fourth quarter, and that might happen a lot.
QB Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
Is this the year he breaks through after that 2023 explosion? There still feels like upside, especially with an underrated group of pass-catchers.
RB Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams
Kyren Williams will still be RB1 in L.A. But what if he gets hurt? Or what if there's more balance to the run game for the Rams? He may best his ADP.
RB Kenny Gainwell, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
There's not a lot of faith in the fantasy community when it comes to Bucky Irving, partially because Gainwell was so good in Pittsburgh last year. I'm taking Gainwell with the discount you're getting and with the assumption he's going to see the field a lot in Tampa.
RB Jordan Mason, Minnesota Vikings
If the theory is that the whole Vikings offense struggled because of their QB situation, then Mason should have a much better season with Kyler Murray around.
RB Keaton Mitchell, Los Angeles Chargers
Omarion Hampton could be awesome in Mike McDaniel's offense, but it's Mitchell who could carve out a FLEX role too.
WR Wan'Dale Robinson, Tennessee Titans
Will rookie Carnell Tate make an impact right away? What about Robinson, who signed a contract worth $38 million guaranteed this offseason with a team that now employs his former Giants head coach Brian Daboll as offensive coordinator? And let's remember Robinson is coming off back-to-back 90-plus catch seasons.
WR Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers
What if McDaniel's offense and a healthy Chargers offensive line opens up some deep stuff for Johnston? You should absolutely take a flier to find out.
WR KC Concepcion, Cleveland Browns
The Browns may find themselves needing to pass a lot more this year due to game script. And even with some BIG quarterback question marks this year, someone will need to catch footballs. That could be the intriguing rookie.
TE Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints
Dude was GOOD last year, and now the Saints are without rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson for a while. Johnson could benefit in a serious way.
TE Isaiah Likely, New York Giants
Who is WR2 behind Malik Nabers? The answer is Darius Slayton, but think about what Likely brings to the table: He showed flashes of talent in Baltimore but didn't get a lot of opportunities behind Mark Andrews. Plus, head coach John Harbaugh knows him well from their Ravens days.
TE Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars
When he was healthy last year, Strange was a starting fantasy tight end. And maybe that's the case this season behind Parker Washington and Brian Thomas Jr.
