8 Sleepers to Target in ESPN Fantasy Football Leagues
Average draft position (ADP) tends to vary by hosting site and using it to our advantage can be a game changer when drafting on those platforms. Players can slide up and down draft boards for a myriad of reasons during August, such as injury news, depth chart battles, preseason snaps, and more. It’s easy for a player to get lost in the news-cycle shuffle which is why a tool like ADP Bargains is so valuable. By pairing 4for4’s rankings with ESPN’s ADP we can tease out players with significant discrepancies and target some serious values.

Below you’ll find my favorite value players with the potential to outproduce their current standing on ESPN draft boards.
Devon Achane, RB - Dolphins (ESPN ADP: RB54, 169)
Whether his rookie status or the Dalvin Cook rumors that swirled around the Miami RB room created Devon Achane’s bargain price, it really doesn't matter because it’s highway robbery. The Dolphins added Achane in the third round for a reason and his lightning speed in an outside zone running offense is the perfect complement to their veteran backs.
It may not be a hot start for the rookie as they tend to come on later in their first seasons in the NFL, but as a 15th-rounder, Achane makes for excellent depth as a potential flex player or eventual RB2.
*Update: Jeff Wilson is starting out the season on IR which makes Achane an even better selection.
*4for4 ESPN PPR Ranking: Positional RB48 (+6), Overall 67, (+102)
