Five Sleepers to Target in Fantasy Baseball Drafts

If you wait on some of the thinner positions, these players will be available in later rounds.

Fantasy baseball draft season is here, and it’s always smart to have a list handy of players that could pay off in later rounds. Second base, third base and outfield are all thin this year, so I have chosen five sleeper hitters that can cover those positions. So if you miss out on Jose RamirezJose Altuve or Ronald Acuna Jr. early, don’t worry – there is upside to be found later in the draft. As spring training progresses and we have more average draft position (ADP) data from fantasy baseball drafts, be sure to check back in with SI Fantasy for more sleepers, breakouts and busts.

Without further ado, here are five players that should outperform their current ADPs:
