Fantasy Football Sleepers, Week 1: If you just lost Brock Bowers, his teammate can help fill the void
sports.yahoo.com • • sports
Key Points:
- Week 1 fantasy football sleepers highlight under-rostered players who could provide valuable depth or upside, despite the general recommendation to rely on primary starters early in the season.
- Raiders TE Michael Mayer (11% rostered) is a strong sleeper pick following Brock Bowers' injury, with Mayer showing potential as a productive receiving tight end and facing a weak Dolphins tight end defense.
- Saints QB Tyler Shough (40% rostered) offers upside due to his strong finish last season, a fast-tempo offense under coach Kellen Moore, and a favorable matchup against a Lions defense missing key safeties.
- Texans RB Woody Marks (50% rostered) could see an expanded role as a complementary back to David Montgomery, with increased involvement in the passing game after a slow rookie season.
- Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell (41% rostered) and Raiders WR Tre Tucker (31% rostered) are intriguing depth options, with Mitchell potentially benefiting from a favorable game script and Tucker stepping up as a primary receiver against a weak Miami secondary.
