The talent pool quickly dwindles, and you find yourself trying to grab sleepers that have a chance to make an impact. We need to dig deep into the depth chart and find gold. Look at these players in the later rounds that you could potentially use in your starting lineup.

Fantasy Football Deep League Stashes
Rashee Rice (WR – KC)
With Kadarius Toney on the shelf, someone must step up in his absence.
Justyn Ross is an option, but he has a long history of injuries in college and missed last season. There’s also Richie James, but Rice is looking great in practice.
I know it's still early in camp, but it's hard not to be excited about the strides Rashee Rice has already been making.

Marquez Callaway (WR – DEN)
This is a name you might be familiar with. Callaway was an undrafted free agent in 2020 and signed with the New Orleans Saints. He had a moderately successful 2021 campaign with 698 yards and six touchdowns, but he could not replicate that in 2022.
This offseason, he signed with the Broncos and coached Sean Payton, who had Callaway in New Orleans. This gives him the advantage of knowing Payton’s system over all other receivers, which could earn some increased playing time.
Puka Nacua (WR – LAR)
The Rams’ rookie wide receiver is putting up highlights early in camp and has people believing he could move up the depth chart.

If you watch his tape, he has incredible speed and can separate from a defensive back for a big play. He displayed that flash by averaging 16.3 yards per catch in four seasons at Washington and BYU.
