Fantasy football sleepers can end up being the most important players on your roster for the season. Which 15 are the best to target in 2016?

Fantasy football sleepers are defined as players taken later in the draft that could end up contributing greatly to one’s fantasy team. These players can rise to the top in a variety of ways, but injuries tend to be the most common reason.

In years past, guys like Teddy Bridgewater, Devonta Freeman, and T.J. Yeldon have been considered as sleepers heading into the season. Within a few weeks, these players emerged as some of the most important players on said team.

Sleepers are called sleepers for a reason, as they’re very hit and miss. It’s not hard to not think much of these players when first drafted, but keep a close eye on them as the season progresses because they very well could jump to the top of your team.

Let’s take a look at the 15 players who could be sleepers in 2016.
