Fantasy Football: Top 15 Deep Sleepers to Target in 2019

FANTASY FOOTBALL DEEP SLEEPERS TO TARGET IN 2019
1. Cole Beasley, WR Buffalo Bills
A lot of people are taking Zay Jones or John Brown as Josh Allen‘s best receiving option. Any of the three of these guys are in sleeper range, but both Jones and Brown are being taken much higher than Beasley with ADPs of 187, 162.3, and 298 respectively.

The drop off between Beasley’s ADP and Brown’s ADP is incredibly larger and is much larger than their gap in production will be. Beasley definitely puts the “deep” in a deep sleeper with an ADP of 298. However, when evaluating the connections the Bills receivers have with Allen so far, Beasley is the one that’s looking the best so far.
There were many speculations about Beasley becoming Allen’s favorite target after connecting multiple times in their joint practices with the Panthers and then carrying that over into the game with five Allen to Beasley connections. This was the receiver who saw the most targets from Allen in their second preseason game and it was a perfect connection, five for five.
Jones may have the most talent and Brown may have the best deep-threat advantage to pair with Allen’s canon of an arm, but Beasley has proven that he is a consistently reliable target over his career in Dallas and all that matters is who Allen seems most comfortable throwing to.
Right now it appears that Beasley is Allen’s go-to receiver and that could provide tremendous fantasy value for a guy that is going undrafted in basically all fantasy leagues.
