The Rich Top 5: Fantasy Football Sleepers You’ll Want on Your Roster

Sleepers are where fantasy drafts are actually won, and Rich came in with a list that ran long on purpose. Chris helped crowdsource it. Rich then blew past his own limit and added two more names at the end, because that is how these things go.

**5. Wan'Dale Robinson, Titans.** Everyone wants to talk about Calvin Ridley in Tennessee, and Rich is not arguing. He is just pointing out there is a reason Robinson is on this roster, and that Brian Daboll knows exactly what he can do. Robinson won people fantasy weeks for the Giants last season. Now he gets to find out what Cam Ward can do with him. The addendum from the desk: 92 catches, so if you are in a PPR league, snag him.

**4. Tyler Shough, Saints.** Rich admitted the bias, since the show just said goodbye to him, but a list like this needs a quarterback. Shough has Chris Olave, he has Etienne, he has Kamara, and Rich thinks there are wheel route opportunities in there, maybe a few he runs in himself. Best part is the price. You can get him super late for basically nothing.

**3. Parker Washington, Jaguars.** Rich called this one can't-lose, and the logic is straightforward: if BTJ goes missing for stretches again, Washington is the guy standing there. He came on strong at the end of last season and could grow into the number one receiver in that offense.

**2. Harold Fannin Jr., tight end.** Don't even think twice, was the instruction. Everyone else is going to spend their picks on the usual names at the position while Fannin quietly makes himself best friends with whoever is taking the snaps. The expectation around the desk is that it will be Shedeur, and that the two proved they were a good combo last season.

**1. David Montgomery, Texans.** Rich is telling you, and then told you again. Houston is going to ride Montgomery. Woody Marks might vulture some work, but Montgomery is the guy inside the tent, and he is the name to grab once the running back position has been picked clean.

Then Rich announced he actually had two more, both running backs.

Rookie Jahmyr Gibbs is one of them, already a Hard Knocks darling and, in Rich's words, sitting in the catbird seat. "This kid killed it," he said, and he expects Seattle to use him.

The other is RJ Harvey, who Rich thinks is in for a massive season in Denver as a dual purpose back. Massive was the word. He used it twice.
