Fantasy football season is ramping up, and it is time to start focusing on the upcoming season. One of the most important kind of players to identify are the sleepers. You can get them at a lower price than they should cost and can help you win your fantasy league. Here, we will be focusing on the top sleeper at each position in the AFC East.
QB Malik Willis, Miami Dolphins
Granted, we only have a small sample size of Willis being a successful passer in the NFL; however, he has proven that he has the speed and athleticism to make plays with his legs. Last year, in limited work, we saw him complete 30 of 35 attempts for 422 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions, while rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. The vast majority of his work came in two games in December after Jordan Love went down with an injury for the Green Bay Packers.
His rushing ability gives him massive upside even if he doesn't develop as a passer like the Dolphins hope, and his new three-year $67.5 million contract suggests they are going to give him plenty of opportunities to develop. Currently, his ADP has him going as the 21st quarterback off the board, so he's essentially free. He should be drafted as a top 15 quarterback.
