One of the primary goals for every fantasy baseball manager ahead of their drafts should be to find players who return a hefty return on their draft day investment. For most fantasy drafts, that investment is their average draft position (ADP). You can dominate your draft by identifying which guys have the highest chance of providing the most value every time you’re up to pick. This becomes more important the deeper you go into the draft, as late-round players will either be duds who you’ll drop within a few weeks, decent contributors who outperform expectations and stick around on your roster for most of the season, or studs who can boost your title chances.
We asked our experts to provide their favorite early fantasy baseball sleepers. Here are all of their picks. Below we take a closer look at Cody Bellinger.

Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: Cody Bellinger
Cody Bellinger (OF – CHC)
“If we’re digging deep into the player pool to try to find someone who can explode upward as this year’s biggest sleeper, then we want a hitter that can excel in at least one category. Cody Bellinger has two seasons on his resume in which he hit 39 or more home runs and, while basically every part of his game has crumbled since 2019, we know how high his ceiling is. There’s risk everywhere — including the potential of a platoon — but he can easily outpace the rest of the hitters currently ranked outside the top 150 with his power alone.”
– Mario Mergola (Sporfolio)
