One notable sleeper is Geno Smith of the Raiders, now under the guidance of Pete Carroll. Smith’s previous season showcased his capability with over 4,000 passing yards. The addition of Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator and rookie Ashton Jeanty can enhance his performance further.
Additionally, Austin Ekeler remains a valuable asset in the fantasy realm despite not being the primary running back. His reception rate could increase due to former lead back Brian Robinson’s trade, making him a sleeper candidate.
