Fantasy Football Sleepers

Which one RB outside the top 45 in half-PPR RB ADP do you plan to target in all drafts as a late-round fantasy football sleeper and why?

Audric Estime (RB – DEN)

“A player that stands out to me who has legit upside is Audric Estime. In a press conference, head coach Sean Payton said, “He’s a back that requires enough touches. He’s gonna get those opportunities.” Alvin Kamara was selected only seven picks after RJ Harvey in the 2017 NFL Draft. Kamara and Mark Ingram co-existed in New Orleans, and I think that Estime and Harvey could be Payton’s new Kamara and Ingram. Kamara was the RB4 in fantasy points per game in his rookie season, while Ingram was the RB8. Harvey is a great pass-catching back, just like Kamara, and Estime is a thumper who will run through the defense. Estime had 13 missed tackles forced on only 76 rushing attempts last season.”

Kendre Miller (RB – NO)

“For me, it’s Kendre Miller of the Saints, whom I plan to target outside of the top 45 running backs. His current ADP is RB85, 288th overall, meaning you can use your last pick on him. Miller showed flashes of explosiveness in limited action last season, and with potential changes in the Saints’ backfield as veteran Alvin Kamara nears the age cliff, he could see a significant role. His pass-catching ability fits well in half-PPR formats, offering value if he secures more touches. Kendre Miller’s athleticism and receiving skills make him a breakout candidate if he earns a larger share of the Saints’ backfield in 2025. With Kamara’s contract situation uncertain and Devin Neal as the only other competition, Miller could capitalize on increased opportunities. His low ADP makes him a high-reward pick with minimal risk in late rounds.”

Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL)

“Tyler Allgeier remains one of the NFL’s most efficient and underrated complementary backs. In 2024, he posted a broken tackle rate of 0.26 per carry (top 12 among running backs with at least 100 carries), averaged 3.1 yards after contact per attempt, averaged 4.7 YPC (11th among running backs with at least 100 carries), a 100% catch rate, and recorded a positive run on 83.2% of his carries. While Bijan Robinson is the clear lead in Atlanta, Allgeier carved out a valuable role in short-yardage and red-zone situations, logging 31 carries inside the 10-yard line and converting nine of them into touchdowns. His north-south efficiency, vision between the tackles, and low fumble rate (0.4%) make him a reliable asset providing weekly contributions and an immediate RB1 should anything happen to Robinson.”
