There's nothing better than knowing enough ball to nail a couple of fantasy football sleepers. Today's column looks at players currently drafted outside the top 100 overall picks on Yahoo who can and should be drafted in every single 10- and 12-team league. I'll eventually do a deep, deep sleepers column for the true sickos out there, but this is a list of players I'm actively targeting in every league.

The Packers are my most-drafted team after nearly 200 drafts, and it's not even close. Christian Watson is a Round 5/6 WR target. Tucker Kraft is an option depending on the price. Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden are priorities. And MarShawn Lloyd (more on him below) has been one of the best clicks available for months.
It's rare when the fantasy landscape drafts all three WRs and the starting TE ahead of the starting QB, but that's what is happening with Love right now. Love needs more pass attempts to get home. That's it. Since 2022, Love is second in EPA per dropback, so efficiency or skill talent around him is not the issue. Well, this offseason, the coaching staff has prioritized playing with more tempo, and I watched them break the huddle and immediately snap the ball multiple times in preseason actions. I think it's happening.
I also think the Josh Jacobs news could incentivize the Packers to throw more, rather than being 25th in neutral pass rate and 32nd in neutral pace like they've been since 2022.
