2021 Post-Hype Sophomore "Sleepers":
Each year we get excited about the incoming prospects and start to forget about the players from the past draft class who didn't "breakout" their rookie year. All is not lost for some of these players as situations change, so here's a thread:
Each year we get excited about the incoming prospects and start to forget about the players from the past draft class who didn't "breakout" their rookie year. All is not lost for some of these players as situations change, so here's a thread:
Denzel Mims
My WR8 in last year's draft class, he missed 12 games due to hamstrings injuries. The Jets were terrible last year and are due for a quarterback upgrade. One of the more popular "buys" this offseason, I place his value at a late-1st in 1QB or an early-2nd in SF.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire
My RB3 pre-draft, the Chiefs landing spot was a dream come true. Missed 3 games and was in a timeshare with Darrell Williams, but expect more volume in 2021. Don't miss out on CEH, it's a great time to "buy-low". Worth a mid-1st in all leagues.

Jerry Jeudy
One of many talented receivers in the 2020 Draft Class, Jeudy had some drops but was also stuck with a lot of errant throws from Drew Lock. Still one of the best young route-runners, he'll be in a great duo with Cortland Sutton. I'm buying with a late 1st rounder.

La'Mical Perine
One of "my guys" from last year, Perine has the ability to be a three-down back with his "Jack-of-All-Trades" skillset. The Jets have a lot of holes to fill and RB isn't a priority in a rebuild, not expecting competition. Easily worth a 3rd rounder or late 2nd.

J.J. Taylor
Likely to be a PPR darling, Taylor looks ready to step into the James White role in New England. One of the best pass-catching RBs from last year's class, he'll be a great compliment to Damien Harris. Cheap right now, but the secret is almost out. A 3rd round flier.

Harrison Bryant
Unfortunately a crowded TE-room in Cleveland, but Njoku is likely on his way out (finally) and Hooper ain't it. Bryant has lots of upside as a receiver and finds himself going into his 2nd year in a TE-friendly offense. In TE-Premium worth a 3rd, otherwise a 4th.

Jonathan Ward
Talk about a deep stash, this guy is likely free in most leagues. Kenyan Drake is a FA leaving Chase Edmonds as the top back on the Arizona roster. Eno Benjamin was a healthy scratch to make room for Ward who played well on special teams. Could see '21 opportunity.
