Alright, so we are nearing the end of the draft, and in all honesty, you are beginning to fade out. Maybe you had a beer too many or maybe you are just “fantasied” out for the night and thinking more about the act of sleeping than the fantasy sleepers. If you think that might be a possibility, then read on, as I lay out the case for a few last round sleepers that can help bring you to glory.

All these guys are currently going in the twelfth round or later according to their average draft position (ADP) per Fantasy Football Calculator.

Quarterback

Johnny Manziel — The chance that Manziel is hanging around until the 12th round or later in mid-August would be a terrible, awful, no-good sign for Manziel’s fantasy future for his rookie season. But right now the hype has not skyrocketed his draft stock. He has slowly climbed from late-twelfth to early-twelfth throughout July, but the Josh Gordon debacle has damped his appeal (as well as the realistic chance Hoyer starts over him). Even still, it’s Johnny Football. This kid could flounder and be a massive bust possibly, or he could be an electric player and more importantly fantasy dynamite. Keep your ear to the railroad tracks on this guy, as any news, no matter how moderate, will cause shockwaves on his draft stock. Ryan Tannehill — As far as guys go that you can get in the fourteenth round, Tannehill not only has the highest floor but also the highest ceiling in my opinion. Job security is stable as new OC Bill Lazor has been crafting an offense around Miami’s assets. The signing of Branden Albert should stabilize their o-line and give Tannehill more time than he has ever seen. And he is only in his third season. The new Miami offense aspires to be high-tempo, akin to Chip Kelly’s Philly attack, and if Tannehill progresses with Lazor, finishing as a top-10 QB is not a reach at all considering he finished 16th last year, ahead of guys like Eli and Flacco.

Running Back

Roy Helu — Going in the late-fourteenth, Helu seems slated to be new head coach Jay Gruden’s third-down RB. The Morris-Helu RB relationship in Washington has a tenuously parallels the BJGE-Giovani split last year that Gruden managed, with one being the bigger, more established, TD maker, and the other flying lower initially as a shiftier pass-catcher. If Helu impresses early on in training camp, he could well be in line for 50-60 catches. David Wilson — He’s cleared to play from the neck injury, but there is still a lot of concern around him. The simple fact remains that this guy is just 23 and has fresh and explosive legs. If he cleans up his pass protection habits (a big if) Wilson can easily beat the questionable competition he will face and may end up seeing 200+ touches. Devonta Freeman — SJax sucked for the vast majority of last year. The Quizz experiment failed miserably in ATL. It won’t take much for Freeman to surpass Rodgers on the depth chart and become Jackson’s handcuff. Hopefully, with his blocking and receiving skills that are reminiscent of an less polished Warrick Dunn, Freeman can start the year as the third-down back and increasingly siphon carries from the aging SJax. Finally, Jackson’s injury potential is high and Freeman’s potential performance will skyrocket if (when?) that happens.

Wide Receiver

Kenny Stills — New Orleans has the confidence in Stills that they were comfortable letting Lance Moore and Darren Sproles both walk in free agency. Basically, this boils down to a Stills versus Brandin Cooks debate. Cooks has already been given the moniker ‘Lightning’ by teammates due to his electric speed and may very well end up with all the preseason buzz. Yet Stills isn’t going to be going anywhere. He showed real chemistry with Brees and only dropped one of 51 targets last year and is now coming into his second year in the league. The Moore-Sproles hole leaves 136 targets for Stills and Cooks to fight over, and I think Stills will see more simply due to his chemistry and consistency with Brees. Andrew Hawkins — Johnny Football and is going to need someone to throw to and there is a great chance that ends up being Hawkins. Josh Gordon likely won’t play this season and it’s hard to see Jordan Cameron being the centerpiece of this offense with the removal of Rod Chudzinski, a tight end guru. The Cleveland Plain Dealer noted that Hawkins was the best WR on the field during OTAs including Josh Gordon. The early signs are there for a well-deserved Hawkins banner year coming up. Jerricho Cotchery — Carolina’s wide receiver situation is a full-fledged disaster. Rookie WR Kelvin Benjamin should see most of the red zone targets, but even still, it’s hard not to see him struggling to adjust to the NFL game where he can’t solely rely on his height in some situations. Early reports on Benjamin were not kind on his route running, a classic struggle for most rookie wide-outs in the NFL. Cotchery may be the most polished offensive option they have through the air. This wouldn’t be a resurrection either, as Cotchery silently snuck into the top-30 last season as the number three option in Pittsburgh. Expect him to at least match that as the No. 2 in Carolina.

Tight End

Zach Ertz — Ertz showed his fantasy potential in the last four regular season games he played in by racking up around 185 yards on 15 catches with 3 touchdowns (4/47/0.75 per game). Taking the next step will be the big question and will be answered by more opportunity than anything else. If Celek transitions over to primarily a blocking tight end, Ertz should see the opportunity to flirt with double-digit touchdowns and 800 yards.
