Fantasy Football Sleepers: Jared Goff and Josh Downs Remain Undervalued
The Fantasy Football landscape has evolved significantly, particularly in quarterback drafting strategies. Historically, top quarterbacks were often selected in the first round, but now players like Josh Allen have an average draft position (ADP) around 20.3, with Lamar Jackson following at 41.2.
In identifying potential sleeper picks, the focus is on players drafted in the later rounds with an ADP at least 20 spots lower than their rankings. Notably, Jared Goff, Kyler Murray, Tyler Shough, and Malik Willis are the only quarterbacks fitting this criterion, with Goff being a recommended choice due to his consistent performance, including over 4,500 passing yards and 30 touchdowns for three consecutive seasons.
Goff's situation may improve this season as the Lions' defense appears weaker, and he could benefit from playing indoors for most of the Fantasy season. Additionally, pairing Goff with a rushing quarterback like Murray or Willis could provide strategic advantages. Other notable sleepers include players like Diggs, Downs, and Washington, who are expected to outperform their current draft positions based on their roles and team dynamics.
