The 2025 fantasy football season didn’t bring with it a glut of sleeper running backs. While there were some players who came out of nowhere to produce starter-worthy totals, the number of runners who were able to establish and maintain surprising statistical success was low.
To me, a sleeper is a player who has never before been a reliable fantasy starter but is on the verge of statistical improvement. However, his final fantasy rank doesn’t project him to finish as a top-10 player (that characterises a “breakout” player) at his respective offensive position.
