The 2026 fantasy football season is shaping up with a new wave of sleepers who are flying under the radar. With ADP ratings of 100 or lower, players like Kyle Monangai, Chris Bell, and De’Zhaun Stribling are primed for breakout campaigns. These players offer high upside at low cost, especially in drafts where early picks are dominated by established stars.
Kyle Monangai of the Chicago Bears is a prime example of a player on the cusp of stardom with an ADP of 9.01. After splitting carries with D’Andre Swift in 2025, Monangai is expected to take over as the lead back in 2026. The Bears have one of the league’s best offensive lines, and with Justin Fields under center, Monangai is in a position to thrive. He recorded a career-high 1,142 yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games last season, and his workload is set to increase.
Chris Bell of the Miami Dolphins has the upside of a No. 1 wide receiver but is coming off a torn ACL. His ADP of 16.11 is undervalued, especially with Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle as the top options. Bell’s size, speed, and route-running ability suggest he can step in and produce immediately. If he stays healthy, Bell could see double-digit touchdowns and over 800 yards in his first full season.
De’Zhaun Stribling of the 49ers is another sleeper at 16.07 ADP. With Mike Evans and George Kittle both dealing with injuries, Stribling is in position to take over as the team’s top target. He’s a physical, downfield threat who could see increased targets in key matchups. Stribling caught 42 passes for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 14 games last season, and his role should expand in 2026.
Other names to watch include Antonio Williams of the Redskins (ADP 16.09), Tre’ Harris of the Chargers (ADP 16.10), and Isaac TeSlaa of the Lions (ADP 14.11). Each of these players is in a position to see increased snaps and targets due to injury concerns or roster changes. Williams has a clear path to No. 2 receiver behind Terry McLaurin, while Harris is in a prime spot to capitalize on a thin receiving corps.
As the draft approaches, owners should prioritize these mid- to late-round sleepers. With the right matchups and consistent playing time, they could deliver high fantasy production. Keep an eye on the draft rankings, and don’t sleep on these names.
