4 Must-Draft Sleepers
- George Pickens
- Tyjae Spears
- Keon Coleman
- Justin Herbert
These guys are great mid-round steals that have massive upside and could finish in the top 10 at their position in fantasy points.
Let’s dive into some details on why I like these guys and why they are primed for a ton of success this year!
1. George Pickens
Diontae Johnson is gone, and the road is paved for Pickens to the one in Pittsburgh. Heading into his third season, the time for George to really step up and dominate as he heads into his third season.
106 Targets, 63 receptions, and over 1140 yards last year. This goes up this year for sure! Diontae leaving has freed up over 87 targets alone. Pickens must step up this year and should contribute to fantasy teams nationwide.

2. Tyjae Spears
He is the replacement for Derrick Henry. There is not much more to say here, but I will add more details. Derrick Henry is gone, and now there are 280 rushing attempts freed up. This is massive, considering Spears had 100 attempts last year with Henry there.
He will shine this year and he will be the man in Tennessee. I am grabbing Tyjae Spears stock anywhere I can get it.
3. Keon Coleman
I love the WR1 in Buffalo, and you’re telling me his average ADP is rounds 8-9? This is outstanding value, and the mainstream sheep are sleeping on him.
A ton of upside and volume will go in the direction of Keon Coleman. Diggs and Davis are now gone, and that frees up at least well over 220 passing attempts
4. Justin Herbert
This man had the worst season of his career last year. He scored his lowest numbers in almost all categories including yards (3143), Passing TDs (20) and Passing Attempts (456). If you compare it to his pinnacle year in 2021 – 672 Attempts, 5014 yards passing, and 38 TDs, you can see it was a low year.
That being said, there is no way but up, and he will thrive this year. Adding great WR options like rookies Ladd McConkey, and Brenden Rice, he is primed to succeed.
Justin Herbert’s average draft position is in the 7th round this season, and he is sitting as QB 14. Sign me up on all rosters this season.
