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 Josh Rojas.

Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: Josh Rojas
Josh Rojas (2B,3B – ARI)
“I am intrigued by Josh Rojas (220) as a sleeper for 2023. Arizona should have a fun lineup with a lot of pop and speed, boosting Rojas in every stat category. He stole 23 bases last season and could exceed that with the new baserunning rules. He also cut his strikeout rate from 24.9 percent in 2021 to 19.2 percent in 2022, and he carries an elite chase rate in the 96th percentile. On top of that, he qualifies for 2B/3B in many leagues, which gives managers flexibility between two shallow positions. Rojas could easily be one of the year’s biggest sleepers.”
