How deep would you like to go?
On a message board like THIS, pretty deep.
It has really got to the point where there is no such thing as a "sleeper" anymore. Sure you can name some UDFA WRs or other long shot types, but come on - is that really useful in a redraft league?
I actually agree with you here. I'm just saying that when the first thing posted is a YouTube link, my expectations sink quickly. I'm guessing the op is looking for clicks. He might have more luck if he actually went deep. Guys like taywan Taylor, Braxton berrios...
Like this a lot. He certainly looks the part. And you have like that he has a wide open lane to WR2 on that team. But as always happens, the shiny new rookie toy is getting all the attention.
Yeah, Fitz was initially impressed with Williams as a rookie saying he reminded him of Anquan Boldin.
He has?
I’d classify Butler as a sleeper, but it would be highly unusual for him to make an impact at this stage of his career & being 28 years old.
I definitely agree Butler was underused in Dallas, but this is his 6th year & you can’t discount that. It’s a pretty big factor, IMO.
The fact that a 7th round NFL draft pick is heading into his 6th NFL season is pretty impressive. He was raw and buried in Oakland and then saddled with an inept offensive system that hates playmakers.
Don’t get me wrong, Butler is a legit sleeper, but I believe it would be a mistake to expect anything more than a bottom of your roster-type guy. That’s his ceiling, IMO, especially long-term.
I'm surprised Kendrick Bourne hasn't gotten more attention. He started to click well with Jimmy G at the end of the season and has been working with him in the offseason. He is my top WR sleeper right now.
If I would not draft you in the first 25-30 rounds of a startup you are about as DEEP a sleeper as it gets.
I was about to agree with you, but his ADP is WR70 or so.
It seems like Snead is always a sleeper, but what happened last year? He almost had more games played than receptions. Door was wide open for him but he didn't do anything. Was he injured? I don't remember, he just disappeared.
This is the sleepiest of sleeps. Didn't even know he was still knocking around the league.
I'm talking about Witten of the last two years (while Butler was there) - and I'm not saying that all of Witten's targets should have gone to Butler. I was just making the point that the offense featured players that lacked any semblance of playmaking ability - basically catch and fall down players.
Suspension (substance abuse) then injury. Sure seems like he fell out of favor.
Career, no. But even as Witten was not the player he once was, he was still someone the coach felt comfortable with and more of a complete player than Butler will ever be. I don't disagree that there was room for him to get targets if he showed he was deserving.
I want to make it as clear as possible. I was NOT advocating for Butler to take Witten's targets. You are missing the context of what I was saying.
Got a nice laugh there, thanks.
If everyone stays healthy, you’re not wrong, but i would imagine the vast majority of deep sleepers who hit big take advantage of some injuries ahead of them and are not the result of simply overtaking the entirety of the fully healthy depth chart.
Two guys I'm targeting later in the draft are Chris Godwin and Taywan Taylor. Both were 3rd round picks so they're not off people's radar but they did go to less than ideal situations/offenses which may cause them to be overlooked some.
Yeah obviously it’s a different investment level but I like both those guys a lot (especially Godwin).DropKick said:
