Who are Fantasy Football Sleepers?

Fantasy football sleepers are players who have a strong chance to exceed expectations and become surprise difference-makers for fantasy managers.

Fantasy Football Sleepers: Wide Receivers

Keon Coleman (BUF)

Keon Coleman flashed big-time potential as a rookie, most notably with his 125-yard breakout in Week 7. Prior to a midseason wrist injury in Week 9, Coleman was emerging for Buffalo, averaging over 2.0 yards per route run and posting +136 receiving yards over expected (recYOE) – the third-best mark by a rookie WR through eight weeks since 2018, behind only Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson. Now healthy and a projected starter in Buffalo’s 3-WR sets, Coleman is slated for a strong Year 2 breakout in an offense looking for playmakers behind Khalil Shakir.

Darnell Mooney (ATL)

Darnell Mooney was a major value in 2024, outperforming his WR69 ADP to finish as the WR28 overall and WR39 in points per game through 17 weeks with over 1,300 air yards and a career-best 1.88 yards per route run. He held a steady 20% target share as Atlanta’s WR2 and came just eight yards shy of his second 1,000-yard season. With Michael Penix Jr. taking over at quarterback in 2025, Mooney has room to grow – he posted 5 catches for 82 yards in Penix’s debut. Locked into a starting role, Mooney is a strong late-round target with sneaky WR3/FLEX upside.
