Fantasy Deep Sleepers: 8 Rookies to Consider in the Later Rounds

Fantasy football draft season is just around the corner! Over the last few years, managers who’ve put a greater emphasis on grabbing rookies in their drafts have been rewarded with late-round bargains like Isiah Pacheco, Elijah Mitchell or James Robinson.

Also, the reality of this fantasy situation is that there are far more disappointments than rookies who blow up in the stat sheets. It’s not exactly finding a needle in the proverbial haystack, but knowing what to look for (depth charts, personnel, etc.) can help us avoid busts and hit on some rookies in the late rounds.
