It's not easy to identify a potential fantasy sleeper from every team for the upcoming season. Some teams are loaded with established talent at nearly every position (New Orleans), while others have precious little talent at all (Washington). Others have so many potential sleepers that it's tough to find just one (Miami). That doesn't stop us from trying to pick at least one sleeper candidate, though. As we saw last year with DJ Chark, Austin Ekeler, and Darren Waller, breakouts can come in a variety of ways.Hitting on any sleeper on draft day istough, as you're trying to predict which le ser-known and little-used player is suddenly going to see a big uptick in production. If it were easy, fantasy football wouldn't be any fun because everyone would have stacked teams. When you limit yourself to just one roster from which to choose, your margin of error is slimand you're forced to swing for the fences with a backup running back or po se sion receiver -- not exactly inspiring choices when they've yet to do anything.DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Some of the players below are probably already on your radar (Daniel Jones, Jonnu Smith,
Kyle Fuller Jersey Diontae Johnson) but still underrated; others won't get drafted in anything outside of deep leagues (Devin Duvernay, La'Mical Perrine, Drew Lock). We also have guys you're probably sick of hearing about as "sleepers" because they always disappoint (Anthony Miller, Ian Thomas, Josh Reynolds).Either way, given the dynamics of each team and the increased po sibiliy of players mi sing time this season, all of these players are worth watching and potentially moving up your draft boards.2020 STANDARD FANTASY RANKINGS: | | | | | | | 2020 Fantasy Football Sleepers: One breakout pick from each teamArizona Cardinals: Chase Edmonds, RB.Kenyan Drake was brought back to remain Kliff Kingsbury's lead back after he produced at a high level coming over in midseason to replace David Johnson. Edmonds, who had a flash as Johnson's top backup before Drake was acquired, remains a strong No. 2 for 2020. Drake's volume suggested the Cardinals would be OK giving him more than 300 touches, but keep in mind he never came close to that workload with the Dolphins. The Cardinals did draft Eno Benjamin for further backfield insurance, but Edmonds looks like a good fit for Kingsbury to the point they would be fine with simplyplugging him into a key role should Drake go on the shelf. File Edmonds under another premium handcuff, and keep Benjamin in mind should he look good early. -- VinnieIyerAtlanta Falcons: Ito Smith, RB.Smith
Allen Robinson Jersey was a major disappointment in trying to be the new Tevin Coleman for Devonta Freeman last season. He looked good in limited work, but he was operating in Dirk Koetter's ineffective rushing offense with shaky blocking and a neck injury limited him to seven games. Now he's the default No. 2 back to Todd Gurley,who is no longer the bastion of durability. Smith isn't a particularly inspiring handcuff in a pa s-happy offense where he won't catch much, but it seems likely some backup Atlanta RB will get significant
Mike Ditka Jersey touches at some point this season. Brian Hill is also in the mix. --IyerBaltimore Ravens: Devin Duvernay, WR.The Ravens have a pretty set hierarchy of producers, so it's not easy to identify a legit sleeper. Third-round rookie Duvernay is a boom-or-bust pick for this list, as he'll be no higher than the No. 3 target for a team that doesn't pa s often, but the 5-11 speedster could get still break enough big plays to have value. No. 1 WR Marquise Brown wasn't consistent or healthy all of last season, and it's po sible Lamar Jackson is unleashed as more of a pa ser this year in order to save some wear and tear on his body. All that makes Duvernay someone to watch early in the season. --Matt LutovskyBuffalo Bills: Zack Mo s, RB.The rookie is an upgrade from Frank Gore in complementing Devin Singletary as a power runner. Singletary, who averaged 15 touches per games as a rookie, remainsthe speed/quickne s back in the committee, and the Bills plan to keep him busy in the pa sing game for Josh Allen. Mo s showed some complete skills at Utah and has underrated burst. He can both pound between
Dan Hampton Jersey the tackles and finish drives in the red zone, but he also can catch pa ses on early downs if needed. Given this is a pretty situational split, Mo s has some flex appeal and can raise his profile to an RB2 should Singletary have more durability i sues. --Iyer2020 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Carolina Panthers: Ian Thomas, TE.Thomas put up modest totals with revolving-door quarterbacks in his first two seasons with the Panthers, but the addition of Teddy Bridgewater -- and more important, the official exit of Greg Olsen -- gives thethird-yeartight end a new-found opportunity. Thomas might be a better fit in PPR leagues early in the season, and he'll need to score more TDs to be anevery-week option. Still, he won't cost much on draft day and has big upside in Carolina's ball-control offense. -- BillBenderChicago Bears: Anthony Miller, WR.This might be the third year in a row Miller has been on this list for the Bears, and fantasy owners are probably sick of hearing preseason hype about him. We sympathize, but this really could be the year. Not only might he be playing with a potential upgrade at QB in Nick Foles, but he also should get more targets after the departure of Taylor Gabriel, who received 141 targets the past two seasons. He showed flashes of upside last year, particularly a five-game stretch from
Richard Dent Jersey Weeks 11-15 when he averaged 6.6 catches and 86.2 yards on 10.4 targets per game. Perhaps coincidentally, Gabriel mi sed three-and-a-half of those games. --LutovskyCincinnati Bengals: C.J. Uzomah, TE.Uzomah'sproduction slipped last season, but the good news is he no longerhas tosplit targets with Tyler Eifert, who left for Jacksonville.That,coupled with the addition of rookie quarterback Joe Burrow,should lead to a more prominent role in the offense. IfUzomahcan revertto his 2018 form and tack on a few moreTDs, then he will emerge as at least a streamingoption in standard leagues. --BenderCleveland Browns: Defense/special teams.Last season, we were all over the Jaguars as a potential D/ST bust, as fantasy owners were overrating them on the premise they were the same "Sacksonville" defense that took the fantasy world by storm a few years ago. After being burned, it seems like the reaction is too strong in the other direction, with the Jags sporting aNo. 24 consensus experts ranking on Fantasy Pros. Some big names left in the offseason, including A.J. Bouye and Calais Campbell, but stud pa s-rusher Josh Allen returns along with DE Yannick Ngakoue and LB Myles Jack, who mi sed five games last year. Jacksonville also sp
