As fantasy football draft season approaches, finding late-round bargains and hidden gems can be the key to winning your league. Here are five sleeper quarterbacks who could provide great value without costing you much on draft day.
Russell Wilson (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Russell Wilson's tenure in Denver was disappointing, but a fresh start with the Pittsburgh Steelers could reignite his career. Competing with Justin Fields, Wilson's experience and previous success give him an edge. The Steelers have upgraded their offensive line, and Wilson's arm talent could maximize the potential of receiver George Pickens. If Wilson can recapture his prime form, he could be a huge fantasy bargain.
Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
Baker Mayfield is coming off a career-best season with the Buccaneers, where he earned Pro Bowl honors and led the team to an NFC South title. "Mayfield had the 10th-most fantasy points among QBs last season," says Brad Rempel from USA TODAY Sports. With key weapons like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin still on the roster and a strengthened offensive line, Mayfield's value remains high.
Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars)
While Trevor Lawrence might not scream "sleeper" given his status as a former No. 1 overall pick, he's currently undervalued in fantasy drafts. Despite losing Calvin Ridley, the Jaguars added Gabe Davis and first-round pick Brian Thomas Jr., bolstering Lawrence's receiving corps. "This could be the year Lawrence breaks out and lives up to his lofty potential," suggests Andrew Nelles from USA TODAY Network. With a strong offensive system under head coach Doug Pederson, Lawrence is a great value pick with significant upside.
Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders)
Jayden Daniels, the Washington Commanders' rookie QB, is a name to watch. The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner and No. 2 overall pick s a team likely to be trailing often, which means plenty of ing opportunities. "If the Commanders are playing from behind a lot this season, Daniels could end up with plenty of garbage time points," notes Geoff Burke from USA TODAY Sports. Daniels also excels as a runner, and his dual-threat ability could yield significant fantasy points.
Will Levis (Tennessee Titans)
Will Levis showed flashes of potential last season, notably throwing four touchdown es in his first NFL start. Under new head coach Brian Callahan, Levis is expected to develop further with the Titans. His strong arm and athleticism make him a dual-threat quarterback, capable of scoring both through the air and on the ground. The addition of Calvin Ridley alongside DeAndre Hopkins gives Levis a formidable receiving duo.
These quarterbacks offer excellent potential for fantasy managers looking to add depth and value to their rosters. Keep an eye on them as you prepare for draft day!
