Fantasy Football Draft Sleepers: Isaiah Hodgins (2023)

The word ‘sleeper’ has maintained its status atop the trendiest fantasy football terminology list for quite some time. And for good reason. Although the semantics of what truly labels a player as a sleeper can be debated, there’s no question that finding the right ones will put your team a step ahead.

Nailing the studs early in a draft is important, but hitting on a sleeper or two later can take you from contender to champion. They aren’t solely limited to the last few rounds, though. Sleepers can be found throughout the draft, as players who are being drafted later than they should. However, the later you get them, the more value you will squeeze out.

A lot can change between now and Week 1, but it’s far better to be early than late when identifying sleepers. I’ll give you a few names to keep an eye on throughout the offseason to put you a step ahead of the competition. And below is a closer look at Isaiah Hodgins.

Early Redraft Sleepers to Target (2023 Fantasy Football)

Isaiah Hodgins (WR – NYG)

Why is nobody talking about 24 year old Isaiah Hodgins? His first game with NYG came in week 10 and he rested week 18.

Weeks 10-17: WR21
Weeks 13-17: WR13

I grabbed him in all my dynasty leagues and glad I did – may never be a huge fantasy asset but I think he’s a legit player.

Isaiah Hodgins was given a legitimate opportunity with the Giants, and he exceeded expectations. The Giants’ wide receiver room was beaten down with injuries, but Hodgins has a chance to stick with a legitimate role in 2023. He was the WR13 in Weeks 13-17 and came through with 105 yards in the Wild Card round. The Giants will certainly be in the wide receiver market this offseason, perhaps somebody who could pair up with Hodgins outside while Wandale Robinson works out of the slot.
