This is just a psychological fantasy football fact.
A PFFF if you will.
We’d draft Brett Favre in a charity league benefiting welfare recipients before getting fooled by that guy again.
We evolve and make better decisions.
Like drafting someoneelse’sfailed prospect to “get good value” while they do the same thing with ours.
This is just a fact of life.
This is a PFFF.
But it’s time to rethink this.
No proud fantasy football manager wants to admit they’re wrong, right?
If I was ever wrong on a take I wouldn’t either.
That’s what this blog is about.
That’s the worst thing possible.
The ultimate fantasy football cuckhold.
Plus, you’re also stuck with Brett Favre on your roster to remind you how dumb you are.
Let’s avoid that.
Here are some names of guys yet to fully break out.
Some are sure fire over-sleepers rested and ready to rumble.
Others are probably going to remain comatose.
We’ll discuss a small handful.
This tells you something.
The Bills never got enough shit for this if you ask me.
Let’s load up that clip…
Doesanyoneknow how to do their job anymore?
Davis is still the second option at wide receiver for his team, which should be taken into account.
So let’s take it into account.
Let’s see where Gabe falls.
Did I miss something here?
Unless he got traded to the Chiefs or the 1999 Rams this makes none of the sense.
Someone remind me - Geno Smith is still the quarterback of the Seahawks, right?
Did the Bills do another stupid thing and trade Josh Allen straight up for Geno Smith?
That would explain everything.
I see three names I’d take over Davis from this list.
Waddle, Smith, and Higgins.
Justin Fields
You really couldn’t ask for a more similar carbon copy of Jalen Hurts than Justin Fields.
At ADP 45, there’s no better value at quarterback.
Yes, I’m a homer.
But that doesn’t mean I’m wrong.
Jalen Hurts ended up being worth a first round fantasy pick last year.
Fields has a great chance to do the same in 2023.
Trey Lance
OK Trey Lance truthers.
Go ahead and sit down for this one.
How do I know it’s over?
Irrelevant, that’s how you know.
Was the Trey Lance draft trade the worst trade since Ricky Williams?
I think it’s fair to ask.
Diontae Johnson
Pumping the breaks on this one too.
Certainly the zero touchdowns thing mathematically has to regress upwards to the mean.
Diontae might be alright.
Maybe a fringe flex/bye week guy.
And for the record - Pickens does not qualify as an over-sleeper candidate.
But if he sucks this year I’ll pencil him in for 2024.
That’s the problem.
Desmond Ridder just doesn’t strike me as a guy that can make anyone around him shine.
Maybe he ends up being competent enough to hold a job.
At best he’s Kyle Orton all over again.
That makes my skin crawl just thinking about.
With that said - I’m actually OK if you desperately cling on to Pitts for another season.
It’s tight end.
Outside of a just a few select stars you may as well give it a shot.
Will he be a healthy and productive JK this year?
Or will he JK us again?
Tells the truth JK!
I’m not worried about him and think it’s possible for you to get him at a value.
Elijah Moore
This one is for my guy - fantasy football analyst Scott Barrett.
He’s the worlds biggest Elijah Moore stan and has been since the kid entered the league.
Last year was supposed to be the year for Moore, but it ended in a cold shower.
But was Scott right all along?
Is Moore just an over-sleeper?
We’re about to find out but things seem to be positive if you ask me.
Moore seems poised to be a true weapon.
They’re lining him up everywhere on the field.
He’s telling us to draft him in fantasy.
And Watson should finally be able to launch the offense at full speed.
Good luck to all your prospective over-sleepers out there!
