Fantasy Baseball Sleepers: Bubba Chandler, Thairo Estrada, Kyle Manzardo

Fantasy baseball sleeper season is here. Entering 2025, the term “sleeper” can hardly be applied given all the information to be consumed. With that said, we will dive in and give you four names you can take right now at their average draft position (ADP) cost that will return value, plus four more deep sleepers. This is where people are sleeping and you can wake up and take advantage.

Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

Bubba Chandler (SP – PIT)

Jared Jones and Paul Skenes debuted and made sizable differences for fantasy managers last season. Bubba Chandler is the next name to know. He’s a top pitching prospect who could be in line to be this year’s difference-maker for the Pirates.

Thairo Estrada (2B – COL)

Signed to be the starting second baseman in Colorado, why not give Thairo Estrada a shot in deeper formats? Before the 2024 season, we have a solid track record of production. You can take worse shots than a guy who has had success in the past and gets a shot to play in Coors Field.

Kyle Manzardo (UTIL – CLE)

This is for deeper leagues. Kyle Manzardo has entered the post-hype sleeper territory. There is serious platoon risk but given the strong finish to the season and this team being thin on power and overall offensive production (which play into his favor for playing time) there is little reason not to take a shot on him.
