Most rookie drafts are in the rearview mirror and the NFL Preseason is now over. We’re all busy combing the news sites trying to keep abreast of all the important developments as we prepare for the best time of the year, the NFL season. That can only mean one thing – it’s time for us to put a bow on those reams of off-season content with DLF’s 2018 Fantasy Predictions. As we do every year, we have several different prediction articles for you in the following categories:
- Fantasy MVP
- Fantasy Rookie of the Year
- Sleeper Rookie of the Year (outside our top 24)
- Bust of the Year
- Fantasy Sleeper
- Best Dynasty Buy
- Best Dynasty Sell
- Fantasy Comeback Player of the Year
We continue the series with “Sleeper Rookie of the Year.” To qualify for this category, a rookie had to be chosen who is currently outside the top 24 in our rankings and ADP information. As expected, we received a wide variety of different choices.
Dallas Goedert, TE PHI
Picking a tight end for this category is typically dangerous because of how long they typically take to develop. Picking a tight end who isn’t even a starter on his own team seems like article suicide. Still, I’m holding firm in my belief Goedert will at least run with the Trey Burton role in Philadelphia and prove to be a rookie draft steal. His long-term upside looks great and while his landing spot wasn’t ideal, his talent should win out starting as soon as this season. – Ken Kelly

Phillip Lindsay, RB Den
Can an undrafted, rookie free agent and one of the smallest running backs in the NFL surprise the fantasy football world? I believe the answer is yes in Bronco’s Phillip Lindsay. Very fast (ran a 4.38 at his Pro Day) and a natural receiver (117 catches in college), Lindsay has a all the athletic ability to be the lightning to starting running back Royce Freeman’s thunder. His early season usage may be a problem, but an injury or poor play from either Freeman or Booker could certainly lead to more carries and targets. Lindsay is a low cost lottery ticket in dynasty that could pay dividends in the near future.

Can I post a “Deep” Sleeper? Trey Quinn, WR WAS. Made for the slot. Paul Richardson may be better now, but we will see. Quinn produced, 114 catches for 1,236 yards and 13 touchdowns last year at SMU. Each number higher than Courtland Sutton. The man catches everything. Not high on the measureables, but he is just a good football player. Hope he sees the field this year. As Mr Irrelevant, and making the roster, that says something. I’m stashing him in my 14-team league. There is more here than his ADP, so he is a sleeper in my circle.
