Fantasy Football: Midseason Sleeper Plays

For a player to be considered for this list, they have to be available in at least half of ESPN leagues. Need a boost going into the back half of your season? Some of these guys might just be worth a look.

Ryan Tannehill (Owned in 45% of Leagues) – He’s got three solid WR’s to work with and is quickly demonstrating that he understands Bill Lazor’s offense. He was fairly prolific in his first two seasons and is looking better this year. He’s also 11th overall amongst all quarterbacks in terms of production. Might not be a bad choice to fill in for an injured Nick Foles.

Robert Griffin III (32.7%) – He might not be particularly productive through the air, and he’s definitely an injury risk, but Griffin has solid running skills and running quarterbacks do particularly well in fantasy football even when their passing yards are lackluster. He’s an interesting option if you’re thin at quarterback.

Gambing and Rookie Quarterbacks

This is taking a look at how rookie quarterbacks have done while starting, and whether or not there’s any sort of trends to discern.

This is limited only to players who were actual rookies (Compared to a first year starter), and limited only to games where they were making a start, and NOT coming in for relief duty.
