FANTASY FOOTBALL SLEEPERS IN 2015 NUMBER  7: JOSH HILL

Josh Hill is a nobody. Have you ever heard of him? Probably not. Who is he?

He’s the guy taking Jimmy Graham’s place in the Saints offense after Graham was traded to the Seahawks.

Now, I’m not saying that the Saints and Sean Payton will utilize Hill the same way they did Graham in previous seasons, as Hill is nowhere near the player that Graham is, but I think Drew Brees will have to throw his starting tight end the ball in 2015.

Brees was always good to Graham, getting him the ball whenever he could and really turning him into one of the most feared pass-catchers in the NFL; And this is why I think that Hill is going to have a good season.

After relying so heavily on his tight end for the last couple of years, I don’t see Brees just changing his ways because he has a different one now.

I think Hill might be one of the best sleepers in fantasy football this year, much like Julius Thomas was just two years ago when he had his first year in the starting lineup with the Broncos and Peyton Manning.

I expect pretty big things out of Hill this season, and wouldn’t doubt if he is one of the top-8 or so tight ends in fantasy football at the end of this season.

Don’t miss out on Hill like most did on Julius Thomas in 2013.
