7 Sleepers to Target in CBS Fantasy Football Leagues
CBS Fantasy is one of the longest-running platforms in the industry, with default leagues set to 12 teams and standard scoring that uses Standard (non-PPR) settings. Rosters typically feature one quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, one tight end, one FLEX, one defense/special teams, one kicker, and six bench spots.
For the purposes of this article, we’ll focus on those default settings and identify sleepers based on CBS’s average draft position (ADP) data. Any player going outside the top 120 picks is eligible. Using that cutoff, here are seven late-round targets who could give your fantasy roster a sneaky boost.
Braelon Allen, RB - Jets (CBS ADP: RB44, 127 overall)
The Jets have been loud and clear about wanting a tougher, more physical run game, and that lines up perfectly with what Braelon Allen brings. New head coach Aaron Glenn compared his potential usage to the David Montgomery role in Detroit, while OC Tanner Engstrand said the 240-pound back will “make his money” pounding downhill.
That’s a recipe for early touches behind an offensive line featuring four recent high draft picks, with veteran John Simpson as the steadying force. Breece Hall is still the lead, but his efficiency dipped last year, and Allen looks like the goal-line hammer this offense sorely lacked.
At a Round 11 price, Allen’s blend of size, role, and situation makes him one of the better mid-to-late round breakout bets in fantasy drafts.
