My favorite sleepers this off-season have been Brooks, Josh Downs, and Jayden Reed. Brooks is no longer a sleeper. Downs and Reed still are!
I write about them all of the time, though. You can read about those two here. So let's transition to three players the Fantasy Football community and more importantly your home league drafts are still probably sleeping on!
Jaylin Noel was a very good prospect. In my opinion, he was one of the biggest steals of the 2025 NFL Draft. The Texans landed him in Round 4.
His game translated right away as a rookie. Noel also won down the field, and he won as a pre-snap motion threat on out-breaking routes. He is great tracking the ball, has reliable hands, and is a springy athlete who can create separation.
According to Matt Harmon's Reception Perception charting, Noel fell in exclusive company in terms of grading out 70th percentile or better vs. man, press, and zone coverage in 2025. The Texans traded for Kayshon Boutte, but a late-August add leads to a ramp-up period to learn the scheme and get on the same page as C.J. Stroud in the passing game.
Denver Broncos rookie Jonah Coleman is not free in drafts, but I do believe he is underrated. He's the Denver Broncos RB who I have ranked the highest. The opening schedule for the Broncos is pretty rough.
