Late Round SLEEPERS - Real or Fake? - Fantasy Football Draft Advice

[@travisexperience]

Nico Collins… you guys told me to draft him and it was pure gold! Thank you!

[@davidcermak7331]

Lamar

[@Myles8788]

Facts! Got him in RD15 last season

[@iheems9]

QB - Lamar (2019)/Watson (2018) RB - JT (2020)/Aaron Jones (2019) WR - Kupp (2021) / Diggs (2020) Also James Robinson rookie year These are some I remember that helped me win leagues

[@ldolphin34]

I was in a league where returns count, and I was playing WR Miles Austin of the Cowboys as a flex because he was returning kicks, and due to injuries in his first starting role they decided to play him and he ended up with 219 yards receiving and still handled some kicks. I blasted my league that year.

[@leswilson1500]

Drafted OBJ and Cj Anderson in their rookie year and held on to them til they hit big time.what a year it was.

[@briansartain2752]

Wayne Chrebet in 1998. His big breakout year. I also drafted a rookie Wr to pair with him - Randy Moss

[@thomaswatt99]

Mark andrews 2019 round 13!!! Never forget it

[@brentinnes5151]

bummer he has been injured since

[@tylerseese449]

I’m goin with a throwback, either Alex Smith when he finished as like QB 1, or Eddie Lacey who won me a chip my first year playing.

[@kennystrawser3220]

As a Redskins fan, I watched pretty much every game of Antonio Gibsons pro career, he is not a bad running back at all! The fumbles were the narrative, it wasn't the amount of fumbles though, it was the timing of them. Super early in games that swung momentum, red zone, and key late game situations.. then Rivera would bench him for quarters at a time and he'd lose touches then. As long as the don't bench him over any fumble, he'll put up points. I'll be drafting him in late rounds all day.

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

So so true

[@tollyball]

Jimmy Graham and Puka Nacua are my most memorable because Puka helped me make the Championship game and Jimmy helped me win the Championship.

[@christophermize2158]

Sam LaPorta last year baby!!!!! Helped me get to 3 superbowls. Also Amon Ra St Brown his rookie year in the last round of every draft I had.

[@legendarypestcontrol9722]

Superbowls lol kyle would be happy

[@Ibmyselfman]

Lamar 2019, Nico last year, Chubb in his rookie year. I also snagged Rashee Rice in the last round last year

[@deviusthomas9013]

Keep the great content coming Jake. I play in a 16 team league. Brock Purdy was my final pick in the 16th round

[@RJLOANMAN]

HA, good one

[@nickmeaney8542]

Last year I got Raheem mostert in round 10, it was a huge help in getting the chip

[@cpyne1414]

Back in the day I drafted Daunte Culpepper late…the year he broke out. Had a stacked roster, won the ‘ship

[@pnaik2008]

Jared Goff last year put me in finale. Anthony Richardson got injured but Goff kept collecting decent points each week. Drafted him in round 11.

[@toddmiller2812]

2001, I drafted Faulk in rd 1, traded for Shaun Alexander, and drafted Priest Holmes in rd 14. After week 3, when I did the trade, I just sat back and waited to collect my money. I destroyed my league that year.

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

Wow

[@Myles8788]

W

[@gabu19781]

Must have been a big highlight in your life in your prime 23 years ago aye

[@toddmiller2812]

@teecee4459 yeah, ok🤔🤣

[@DP-gb8qu]

@@teecee4459 terrible 😂

[@NickSibz]

Drafted Mostert last year (2023) in the late 7th round as my sleeper. That should speak for itself. 😅

[@RezRickerson]

Back in 1999, Patrick Jeffers was my BiG sleeper. Last season Puka

[@kinggerbs1]

After listening to you guys i drafted Waller’s breakout season with my last pick as a backup TE.

[@nicholaswilliams4124]

Drafted Jamaal Williams in the 15th round in 2022. Helped me win my 2nd straight championship that year

[@RJLOANMAN]

Always enjoy the sleeper show. Like picking the long shot on a horse race and either big bucks or a drop to the waiver wire. Thanks Jake. I feel like the headliners gets us so prepared for the draft that I run out of picks and there are still players i want. Thanks Jake

[@jacobmitton9587]

Dell and Tua last year (did okay for most the year). Antonia Gibson in his breakout year as well! Love the late rounds

[@Myles8788]

Rookie year OBJ had me moonwalking to a championship win. Best year ever

[@calvinwidner3197]

Loved the video,Great information Jake! Im a Homer one of the chargers running backs gotta hit this year I thought it would be their x receiver before the draft but then going alt then Ladd changed my mind. I usually land a sleeper a year best ones probably Josh Gordon2013, Geno and fields 2 years back and Puka last year

[@chadley07gamingemporium19]

James Robinson RB JAX as the 5.10 Mr Irrelevant Austin Eckler RB LAC as a 16th rounder in the start up his rookie year. Those two took the cake for me

[@randallababan6536]

Chris Godwin & Ridley the szns they had career years 🥲 Good times thanks to Headliner Nation!!

[@georgeoctavio]

Appreciate you guys every year!

[@TrevWark]

Derek henry 2019

[@cplarnold]

I feel i have the best TE tangent on my dynasty league, LaPorta, Mcbride and now sinnot, crazy part nvr drafted either of them, was able to grab every single 1 on waivers or F/A. Thoughts. Love the content kyle and jake.

[@dchelz1268]

Kareem hunt for Kc , I remember first game against New England (think it was first game of that year ) 2 tds 250 total yards. It was before he beat up that girl so it was awesome. Good job Hareem Kunt, have fun on the browns

[@brianoneill4480]

My best sleeper was Kurt Warner, when he was supposed to be the backup with the Cardinals.

[@DoctorSon88]

Jake you’re absolutely right. There’s a lot of fake out there. But I know something that’s real…THE HEADLINERS DROP BANGERS!!! This video is no different. Leagues aren’t won with the known, it boils down to hitting on late picks. Your analysis of Edwards is Picasso. I love the spot for him, but, the rookie will likely be a factor. His tape is solid. Thank you again Jake, Kyle, and Headliner Nation. KEEP BANGING💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

Bang on !

[@rickyricky7159]

2014 I drafted Peyton manning first round and 2nd went Antonio Brown after someone sniped Jordy Nelson from me( who was a third rounder) and 3rd went Leveon Bell (who was a 5th rounder) and Greg Olsen 5th (who was a 7th rounder) went QB 1st but helps when you had #1 RB, WR, and TE. Team won it all

[@RyanBaxter-z8w]

Jack Doyle I think like 2014 or so. Dude was a beast for a few years.

[@meangene8437]

Josh gordon his rookie year, he was gold. Cleveland went through 3 quarterbacks that year but it made no difference. Gordon was a monster and league winner

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

Facts

[@b-rad-3849]

I drafted Kamara in the last round of my draft his rookie season. 3 weeks into the season I needed roster space, so I had to drop him. About 2 weeks later, he had his breakout game.

[@brianlarkin5717]

Fantastic info on Jonnu Smith . I’ll definitely draft him in the last round.

[@danielcole2183]

Kyren Williams last season

[@ThatOtherRaccoon]

I’m loving the draft strategy videos! Thanks Jake!

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

More to come!

[@andrewwong1742]

Drafting James Robinson as a rookie with my last pick a couple years back. Shout out to Kyle for the early research on him!

[@christopheriorizzo2820]

Drafted Kupp in the 6th round and completed the stack w/ Stafford in the 10th 2021 the year the Rams one the SB.

[@dannypeixoto8435]

I was a Puka believer during the pre draft process so ended up with a buuuunch of Puka in most my leagues. First time that’s ever happen for sure. Oh also Karen Williams and Jerome Ford, those dudes actually won me a some money

[@samcastillo1646]

Kyren of course

[@matthewjaymz]

Darren Waller off waivers thanks to you guys! Came within two points of winning my league that year.

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

Nice

[@BullsPippen]

My sleepers were drafting Sam LaPorta and Trey McBride in our start up Dynasty league last year.

[@Dmitch1408]

Last year Puka MothaFu*a Nacua because of the headliner knowledge and won that chip 🏆😎! Need that draft guide to find PN 2.0 baby let's go 💪🏻

[@numbersarenteverything6542]

I didn't draft this guy but I traded mahomes to the guy in last place for Tannehill and some RB in like 2019 whenever Tannehill had a crazy stretch to end the season. I think he actually outscored Mahomes too. Helped me win my ship 🚢

[@odoylerulez1427]

Loving the preseason content!

[@mikekeliinoi8299]

I would have to say, Keaton Mitchell help me out a bit, but years ago, in my home league I got Mahomes in the 18th round. And he took me all the way to the Championship!

[@joeduke8239]

Mike Williams always did well for me in the past.

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

You got lucky

[@jamesjoseph5707]

My Sleeper of all time has got to be DeAngelo Williams 2008. It was week 5 and he had Zero TDs. I remember trying to trade him to my Buddy for Braylon Edwards. Thankfully he said No because the next 12 games Williams Ripped off 20 TDs leading me to Fantasy Glory !

[@daviddennsion631]

Keep killing it headliner nation love the content!

[@dwoods1995]

I’ll never forget or forgive Myles Gaskin !!! - on the other hand , Keenan Allen will always be my favorite sleeper

[@NelsonWicker]

Took a flier (double digit rounds) on Arian Foster the year he dominated - helped me win the championship!

[@kylebales4753]

Mostart was RB 2 bc I didn’t draft another one lol I lost in the finals but that was a fun ride last year.

[@donnielamberson1966]

2023 Nico Collins. Nobody had him on their radar at all. Grabbed him in the 12th round and balled out. Jake and Kyle told me to, so… I did! And Trey McBride off waivers so I could trade Jahmyr Gibbs and Hockenson for CMC.

[@demetriuswilliams2721]

Hey guys, I have 2 sleepers that worked out for me. 1st one came in 2010 with Michael Vick. The year he replaced Kolb. And the 2nd.. Ironically Nick Foles in 2013. Those 2 moves landed me my 1st 2 championships back when I was playing fantasy football on yahoo leagues 😂😂 I don't even know if yahoo still do fantasy football... I appreciate you guys

[@donquicemarzett4009]

Jahmyr Gibbs was my sleeper last year and I was able to get him in every league in expect my dynasty league. 🙃

[@dakotamontana6242]

Got Sam LaPorta as my last pick and MAN was that sweet.

[@kennybailey8558]

Drafted Lamar Jackson his rookie year… also had Alvin Kamara and Saquon Barkley as keepers, and drafted Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara and drafted New England’s def… historically good year lol

[@dbearbrown8923]

Won a championship getting Josh Allen late and Justin Jefferson in like the last round his rookie season. Two huge steals

[@humblebeginner]

Nico & CJ Stroud both off Waivers early last season. Paid off big

[@cjrhodes6300]

Josh Allen 2019 Chris Godwin 2019 Kyler Murray 2020 I won my league in both years lol, the good old days

[@hmore4395]

Ricky Watters his 2nd year in the league his 1st year he didn’t play and Terrell Davis his rookie year. 🎯🎯

[@rubenloa-smith7482]

Kareem Hunt his Rookie Year, drafted him in the last round 🔥

[@Shaun-oq1ov]

I drafted Mike Evan’s in the 9th rd. Everyone was suspect with Baker Mayfield throwing the ball. Boom totally worked out in my favour help me with my Fantasy.

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

Not everyone..... 😏

[@ryguymcfly73]

SUPER insightful! LOVE THIS CHANNEL! Top knotch guys!

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

Much appreciated!

[@chrisdavis-chapman8845]

James Robinson and Connor were easily the best sleepers when they first came to the NFL and hit the field running.

[@fathermalachi]

Drafted Puka in the 20th round of my draft last year.

[@jonathansmith1017]

Late round drafts are a hope and prey spots 😂

[@closerangeclass6446]

Nelson Agholar! 2 or 3 years ago won it all for me

[@ARealGopher]

Picking Puka last year, and picking james conner on the offchance Bell didn't play back in what 17,18? Great video as always gents 👏

[@lplus634]

My biggest sleeper at this point is Demarcus Robinson wr3 for the LA rams

[@rorymiller9573]

Terry McLaurin, I don't remember his ADP his rookie year but I remember in my league I got him with my last pick. He did well for me for a couple years! Lol haven't finished the video yet but I'm sure it's gonna be a Banger! 💪🤣

[@rorymiller9573]

Definitely a great video! Thanks Jake!! 😁💪

[@Landestroy741]

Kamara ,rookie season, last round. I had him and Leveon Bell. I won the Championship. Last year I took Purdey last round but no Championship though.

[@firethecannons80]

Alfred Morris 2012. Took him in the last round, and he balled out all season

[@jimclegg-tj2gq]

2 come to mind Terrel Davis and Arian Foster, both late round

[@lonndevoll8274]

Randy Moss his rookie year,,,picked him up as a free agent after week one Legend pick

[@martinjauregui102]

RB - Cordarrelle Patterson 2022

[@gavinchristiana9415]

Dak, K. Hunt, Justin Jefferson, Derek Henry (Kinda, First Year he really went off) to name a few

[@Ryan-gt6kx]

Agree with everything except Antonio Gibson. He’s going to be the backup again, but in an even worse offense. I’d rather have Corum or Chase Young at that ADP bc at least they have huge upside in those offenses as handcuffs.

[@CaliBorn73]

Jonnu is fool's gold in my opinion. The Dolphins have a great offense that simply doesn't target their TE's. They only had like 50 targets to the TE's last year, and that might even go down now that they have OBJ manning WR3 duties.

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

Also assuming they all stay healthy.... And if they weren't going to use him.... Why bring him in, just keep Smythe and repeat what you did last year I think they know they need to be a more balanced passing offense and can't rely solely on Hill in their gameplan

[@CaliBorn73]

@@TheFantasyHeadliners Jonnu is getting $1.2M guaranteed, which tells me he is almost certainly an afterthought on that offense. McDaniels had a great pass catching TE in Geisicki when he took over the Phins. And he went from 73rec and 780yds in '21 all the way down to 32recs and 362yds with McDaniels calling plays in '22 in the same number of games. Hard pass... For my money, there isn't a better breakout/sleeper TE this offseason than Colby Parkinson. He's a fantastic receiver going to a good offense with a good QB and the oft injured Higbee coming off a late ACL tear.

[@rexmiller6818]

Lamar Jackson, Travis Etienne, mostert, Mike Evans

[@hollyburkenbine939]

Thanks Jake!!

[@countrybumkiniii9003]

Think n 21 got Kupp n 5th & Deebo n 7th and all year they battled for the #1 Wr and they led me to a 1 loss season along with CMC,Mixon,Saquan & Najee.

[@marcusdarden1535]

Last year, Mostert in the 9th and Nico in the 12th. This year, I predict Jameson Williams and Chase Brown.

[@rickworkman9405]

Love this show!

[@daveyc6685]

Love the content I watch like every video I agree with everything you said I don’t have much more to say I’m commenting because I want to win the free guide lol I have no points to add I drafted last year so I guess that was the sleeper hit on

[@stingingjwc]

I got Deebo Samuel in the 9th round a few years ago when he was playing WR and RB for his team lol

[@bamboomoon111]

I drafted JJ and Ceedee in a 2 keeper league their rookie year.

[@jasonsanchez6595]

My sleeper was jonnu smith when he was in Tennessee he balled out

[@randybecht7440]

Got 2nd place in both leagues years ago. Then had stafford kupp year 2022 Burrow chase diggs ekeler and dell last year. Traded puka for waller. Bout worst case of 2nd half disasters as you can get. And had Mccaffery in 2020 and 2021 before that.

[@travisphillips31]

Josh Gordon!!!! 14th round in 15 round draft won the league that year!!!

[@B0ssblake44]

Cordaddy Patterson the year he went insane in a deep draft last pick

[@Dylan-w5m7g]

Comment for contest. Also let’s go Big Mike. This is your season ! I had a terrible draft last season but some random hits on mostert and Leporta carried me until 3rd place. If I would have nabbed Puka, I would have gotten it for sure. Hopefully I can hit this year. I was planning to gamble on Pitts, Chubb (if he’s healthy), and whichever KC receiver I can draft the latest this year. I’m also currently not buying in on Steeler even though I like their players. I can’t stand the OC.

[@consciousmotivation54]

Tank Dell last year…. Before he got hurt he came through in the clutch….

[@jamesmcintosh84]

Peyton Hillis lol killed it for Mr

[@b-radfromtheboo7205]

Puka last year , took in last round in every underdog league i could and cashed in 26k for year off 200

[@TheFantasyHeadliners]

😳

[@bradyduzeski7412]

I had a draft that I got CMC, Barkley Rookie season and King Henry when he finally broke out

[@thenotriousbob6270]

I benefitted from not making a draft and the group gave me Brett Favre during his MVP years 😂 with you guys James Robinson
