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 Riley Greene.

Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: Riley Greene
Riley Greene (OF – DET)
“Detroit’s lineup is loaded with potential bounce-back candidates but Riley Greene is the one who could legitimately deliver. He and his teammates will all benefit slightly from Comerica Park’s modified dimensions but that’s not the driving force here. Greene only slashed .253/.321/.362 with 5 HR in 376 at-bats his rookie year but he spent the whole season getting back to game speed after fracturing his foot just before Opening Day. The Tigers have new hitting coaches to work with Greene and Spencer Torkelson, both of whom could take a big step forward in living up to their top-prospect pedigree.”
– Pierre Camus (Fantasy Endgame)
