If you have even played a second of fantasy football you likely know that the best way to win your league is to find fantasy sleepers. Making the obvious picks and drafting players expected to be top five at their position is great, but that alone will not win you a fantasy football title. Instead winning your league is about finding the hidden gems, the diamonds in the rough. Simply, you have to find the breakout stars that other will not.

Our very own Odell Beckham Jr. is the perfect example. Less than a year ago, Beckham in large part won many, including myself, a fantasy football title. The Bengals Jeremy Hill was another breakout rookie who I was fortunate enough to draft in 2014. My team was nothing special, truthfully I probably didn’t deserve to win, but it was the once relatively unknown rookies, soon to be stars, that carried my team, and won me my championship.

I say this because even with an average core, if you can mange to draft key fantasy sleepers, more often than not you will win your league. Yes, there is a lot of luck that goes into this, but it’s not entirely luck. Actually, just taking the short time to familiarize yourself with the top offensive rookies, will go miles in helping you. Here are my top ten 2015 NFL draft fantasy gems.
