2022 Post-NFL Draft IDP Rookie Sleepers for Dynasty Fantasy Football

Now that the 2022 NFL Draft is over, it’s time to look at the potential gems you can target in your dynasty leagues for the long term. These are IDPs you should be able to target and take in the later rounds of your rookie draft, or even as UDFAs.

Happy hunting!

Terrel Bernard, LB BUF

Buffalo went LB with their third-round pick and Bernard looks like he’ll contribute as their third LB. They needed a player they could develop at the position and Tremaine Edmunds, although a voice in the room, hasn’t been a standout player. Matt Milano is a nice player, but he’s a replaceable piece.

Bernard is a good nickel LB and has good instincts. He’s like that small dog who doesn’t know how small he is - he plays much bigger than his size. I don’t like the missed tackles - 17 or more in two of his three seasons at Baylor but he was a tackle machine - recording a 14.6% tackle rate which led to 270 tackles over three seasons.

He’s going to compete for the third LB spot behind Milano, so I’m not expecting too many snaps as a rookie, as the Bills rarely use three LBs. If they allow him to develop, he could take on a full-time role over the next few seasons. He’s a taxi squad stash.
