Fantasy Football Sleepers 2026: Keaton Mitchell, Jaydon Blue among Rotoworld staff picks
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Rotoworld Football team has identified several sleeper players for the 2026 fantasy football season, focusing on value relative to draft position rather than just name recognition.
- David Montgomery (RB, Texans) is expected to have a high snap share and volume in a run-focused offense, potentially outperforming his RB20-ish average draft position if healthy.
- Keaton Mitchell (RB, Chargers) is highlighted for his explosive efficiency and potential increased role in the passing game under coach Mike McDaniel, making him a strong sleeper in PPR leagues.
- Wide receivers like Josh Downs (Colts) and Wan’Dale Robinson (Titans) are seen as undervalued due to changes in team dynamics and could exceed their draft positions with increased opportunity and favorable offensive schemes.
- Tight end Dallas Goedert (Eagles) is projected to remain a significant offensive contributor despite the loss of key targets, making him a sleeper pick at TE given his current draft status around TE15.
