Training camps are currently taking place across the NFL, bringing anticipation for fantasy managers as draft season approaches. This period provides valuable insights into teams' strategies for the upcoming season, but it also presents the risk of overreacting to developments during camp.

Position battles across the league are being closely monitored, notably at quarterback in Indianapolis and at running back in Dallas. Players are vying for more prominent roles, attempting to return from injuries, or trying to make an impression as rookies. Identification of potential 'sleepers' becomes vital, referring to players available late in drafts who could significantly outperform their draft positions. The aim is to spotlight several players with an average draft position (ADP) in the later rounds who could emerge as starting contenders.

For instance, Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks had a notable previous season, finishing as QB7 after a strong performance leading the Minnesota Vikings. Despite skepticism regarding his transition to a new team, analysts suggest that Darnold's new environment alongside offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak could present a favorable setting for fantasy success. Similar narratives swirl around Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones, who, despite not yet winning the starting role, has gained a lead in the position battle, setting the stage for a potentially productive season if he secures the job.

Javonte Williams, now with the Dallas Cowboys, faces competition but has expressed confidence in his recovery from knee issues, which could enhance his value. Moreover, J.K. Dobbins of the Denver Broncos has shown promise when healthy, and reports indicate that he might receive ample opportunities to prove himself in a potentially favorable offensive scheme. The emergence of Tre Harris, a second-round pick for the Chargers, could disrupt the depth chart in Los Angeles following the retirement of Mike Williams, presenting a chance for him to become a primary target.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman remains lesser-known but may surprise skeptics with his potential for a starting role and chance to shine if he can leverage favorable matchups. Similarly, tight end Isaiah Likely of the Baltimore Ravens may rise in prominence depending on the performance and health of Mark Andrews. Finally, Brenton Strange of the Jacksonville Jaguars is highlighted as a young tight end with the tools to expand his impact in an evolving offensive system.

As training camps progress, these players' performances may lead to shifts in their draft value. Keeping a close eye on these emerging talents can eventually yield significant dividends for fantasy managers in their quest for championship glory.
