Fantasy Football 2015 Sleepers, Rankings & Draft: 5 NFL Sleepers to Consider This Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings officially kicked off the 2015 NFL season in the annual Hall of Fame Game on Sunday. With that said, it's time for you to start building the ultimate Fantasy Football squad. Grabbing sleepers is critical for owners to win their league.
Here are five Fantasy Football sleepers you should consider drafting this season.
1. Terrance Williams
Dez Bryant is going to get his 80 catches and 1,000 yards, that's pretty much a given. However, double teams will certainly come towards Bryant, thus leaving one Terrance Williams wide open or left single covered. Williams isn't an elite wide receiver, but this 25-year-old had a very quiet eight touchdowns last season for the Dallas Cowboys. With DeMarco Murray now with the Philadelphia Eagles, Tony Romo is expected to pass the ball more often this season. On top of that, Williams also hasn't missed a game in his short career staying positively healthy.
2. Tim Wright
The undrafted tight end out of Rutgers has exceeded expectations. Tim Wright played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013 catching five touchdowns in his rookie season, and had an impressive 571 receiving yards. Last offseason he was traded to the New England Patriots where he fit in just fine. Wright only caught 26 balls last season, but six were for touchdowns. Wright is a good red zone threat, and now he's back with the Buccaneers after another trade. No. 1 overall pick Jameis Winston will be his quarterback. Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans should open the field for Wright in a big way.
3. Eric Ebron
Eric Ebron was the highest drafted tight end last year when the Detroit Lions selected him No. 10 overall. He didn't quite have the great rookie season that many expected, but Ebron is now used to the NFL level and Lions system of play. Part of the reason Ebron only had 248 yards last season is because he only started seven games. More than likely Ebron will be the full time starter for the Lions this season. The Lions passing attack, led by Matthew Stafford, should be able to get Ebron the football.
4. Andre Johnson
He's one of the greatest wide receivers of all-time, but many don't think he has anything left in the tank. The Houston Texans cut Andre Johnson, and he is now with the Indianapolis Colts. Andrew Luck led the NFL in passing touchdowns last season with 40, and you can bet Johnson will find the end zone this year. Even last season Johnson had 936 receiving yards, and he's only missed one game over the last three seasons. Johnson knows this could be his last chance at a Super Bowl. Don't count this man out just yet.
5. John Brown
Michael Floyd is out at the moment with an injury, and Larry Fitzgerald isn't getting any younger. Insert John Brown. Brown actually had a pretty underrated season last year with Arizona Cardinals. Although just a rookie, Brown had five touchdowns (more than Fitzgerald) and 696 receiving yards. The biggest piece to this puzzle is going to be quarterback Carson Palmer. Palmer was a perfect 6-0 last year before getting injured. If Palmer can stay healthy, Brown may just hit the 1,000 yard mark for the Cardinals this season. What makes Brown such a great addition, is the fact that he should be available in the later rounds for you to steal.
