As far as football is concerned, we know almost every single player we have to aim at from the first rounds.
But if you need to have a successful season, you probably have to target the players with the maximum value. Of course, we’re talking about sleepers.
Make possible smart options in the most sensitive draft and combine them with underrated spikes (players in a position to pass out or recover after bad seasons) in the middle and end of the round, and you’ll be on the way to a wonderful season.
These are some of the sleepers to aim for for the 2020 NFL season.
Fieldback Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns A run-away candidate a year ago, Mayfield and the Browns 6-10 were humiliated in 2019. A bad offensive line game was one of the main reasons. Cleveland solved this challenge by signing Jack Conklin and selecting Jedrick Wills in the first round. There’s still a lot of outdoor skills with Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr., and having a full season of Kareem Hunt catching passes from the backfield also helps.
QB Drew Lock, Denver Broncos If you don’t write to Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes, there’s no explanation why you spend too much on a QB. Lock may not be the player you’re building a franchise with, but it has sneaky potential. Look around you. Courtland Sutton had an escape season a year ago with more than 1,100 yards. The Broncos doubled (and tripled) in the draft by catching Alabama’s noted Jerry Jeudy before stopping KJ Hamler of Penn State. Sutton and Hamler can surely fly, and Jeudy has incredible skills as a game creator, so Lock probably wouldn’t need much to put them in the right positions to make big plays.
RB Alexander Mattison, Minnesota Vikings simply can’t accept it as true with Dalvin Cook to stay healthy. The explosive zaguero has played only 29 of the 48 imaginable games of his career. So you could also take a look at his backup, and there are few more wonderful backups than Mattison, who would probably start on some computers. To say that Mattison has a wonderful game prospect is to fall short. He ranked first in the pro Football Focus getaway percentage, earning almost part of his backyard on big plays. There also deserves to be many touches to be done. Mike Zimmer favors a conservative approach, which is why brave Gary Kubiak makes the decisions with this attack now.
RB Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts The Colts were selected to take Taylor. This is a clear indication not only of what they think of him, but also of the allusions to his plans for 2020. We’re not going to this either: Indy has one of football’s most productive offensive lines. The total offense has been improved, but Taylor is expected to impose his will on his war-ed parts early and occasionally this season.
RB Cam Akers, Los Angeles Rams I don’t know who wants this reminder, but Todd Gurley no longer calls Los Angeles home. Akers averaged more than five yards consistent with landing on an unconsdicted Florida State team last season. Now, the rookie racer discovers a comfortable landing area in one of the NFL’s top-leading offenses where there are keys to make. This turns out to be a smart place.
WR N’Keal Harry, New England Patriots Well, it can’t be much worse for Harry, can it? The Arizona State product made an unforgettable debut in a confusing Patriots offense. Maybe he’s enjoying Tom Brady’s departure. He probably wouldn’t want to win Brady’s acceptance as true and was quick to get to the paintings with the alleged initiator Cam Newton. Harry showed lightning in the first round in a limited time last season, and while he can stay healthy, there’s still a lot of potential.
WR Breshad Perriman, New York JetsPerriman simply plays, when it gets the chance. The 2015 first-round selection is already part of their fourth team and has not yet combined everything in a full season, but the flashes are attractive. It was sensational all last season when almost the entire Bucs reception room was injured. Perriman completed 25 passes for 506 yards and five touchdowns in the last five games of the season. It appears to be a focal point of an advanced Jet offensive.
WR Justin Jefferson, Minnesota VikingsJefferson may be the only loan from the draft. However, we have already commented that the Vikings will be heavy. The idea here, however, is that a counterfeit racing game will set up a game action. When Kirk Cousins is his quarterback, that’s good news.
The fact that Jefferson is a wonderful, intelligent road racer after the catch and has a higher football IQ adds to the plot.
TE Blake Jarwin, Dallas Cowboys The Cowboys clearly love Jarwin, as evidenced by the three-year contract extension he was awarded this spring. He scored 41 goals last year, a modest total that is expected to build up this season with Jason Witten in Las Vegas.
There is some uncertainty, because there are so many mouths to feed, especially after Dallas recovered the CeeDee Lamb on the high seas. And new head coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t have a brilliant record. However, the chemistry between Jarwin and Quarterback Dak Prescott is hard to ignore.
TE Mike Gesicki, Miami DolphinsGesicki definitely got his look last season, getting at least six goals in 10 games. Moreover, the stark truth is that the COVID-19 pandemic forces groups to replace their strategies, and the Dolphins are no others after Albert Wilson and Allen Hurns withdrew from the 2020 campaign. Gesicki intends to take advantage of it, of course, and the Dolphins are willing to use it in other ways, as he will also have some looks at the slot.
