Bulls’ Second-Round Sleepers for 2026 Draft: Five to Watch

Chicago, after a flurry of pre-draft moves that included Caleb Wilson at No. 4 and Dailyn Swain at No. 15, plus a three-team deal that shipped Mouhamadou Gueye and Nicolas Claxton, heads into the second round with picks 38 and 56. The piece spotlights five sleepers—Maliq Brown (Duke), Baba Miller (Cincinnati), Richie Saunders (BYU), Izaiyah Nelson (South Florida), and Dillon Mitchell (St. John’s)—as fits for Chicago’s defensive, athletic profile with upside, even as other late-round names were also considered.

Scheffler Favored as Sleepers Target a U.S. Open Upset at Shinnecock

At Shinnecock Hills, the U.S. Open tests precision on fast greens and thick rough. Scottie Scheffler is the heavy favorite chasing a career grand slam, but value bets abound with Fitzpatrick (three wins since March), Tommy Fleetwood (strong recent form), Tyrrell Hatton (+4000 to win, +160 top-20), Chris Gotterup (+4500 to win, +180 top-20), and J.J. Spaun (+5500 to win, -135 top-40). Fleetwood’s course fit and Hatton’s past U.S. Open showing add to the intrigue as sleepers and long shots vie for a major breakthrough.

Didinger’s Sleepers Hint at Hidden Eagles Targets in 2026 Draft

Hall of Fame writer Ray Didinger’s 2026 Eagles sleepers spotlight two receivers—Ted Hurst and Zachariah Branch—along with a nod to last year’s picks; Branch’s arrest and strong combine numbers could push him to Day Three, where his Tyreek Hill-like burst and slot/kick-return potential would fit Philadelphia, while Hurst’s size and post-season testing keep him in Day Two discussions.

Opening Day 2026: Fantasy Sleepers, Bold Bets, and Must-Watch Players

Opening Day 2026 kicks off a slower fantasy ramp with waiver moves and streaming to track, as Gerrit Cole is on the IL and Carlos Rodón is sidelined. Target value players like Will Smith, Vinnie Pasquantino, Jeremy Pena, Wyatt Langford and Chandler Simpson, with a stable pitching core anchored by Logan Webb and upside arms such as Chase Burns. Joe’s and Welsh’s 2026 rosters lean into youth with Francisco Álvarez, Bo Bichette, Roman Anthony and Jac Caglianone, plus a bold Simpson stolen-base ceiling. Ohtani remains the top asset in flexible formats; skip risky narrative bets like Tyler O’Neill and plan for midseason churn and quick adds/drops to maximize upside.

Smart 2B Picks for 2026: Sleepers to Target, Busts to Avoid

The piece explains sleepers (ranked higher than their ADP) and busts (likely to underperform) for 2026 fantasy baseball at second base, highlighting two sleepers—Brandon Lowe (PIT) for his proven power and strong hard-contact metrics, and Luis García Jr. (WAS) who could push 20/20 with a new Nationals hitting staff and improving power metrics—then flags three bust risks: Luke Keaschall (MIN) due to inflated ADP vs. projections, Xavier Edwards (MIA) whose value hinges on speed with limited power, and José Caballero (NYY), who has steals upside but weaker overall projection; the article notes other near-term options and advises weighing ADP carefully in 2B drafting.

Stuff+ Sparks: 2026 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Starters

RotoBaller uses Stuff+, Location+, and Pitching+ metrics to identify 2025 starters who flashed elite stuff but underperformed, then highlights 2026 sleeper breakout candidates likely to be available later in drafts: Cam Schlittler (big fastball, room to harness third pitch), Ryan Pepiot (high-movement fastball with upside but slider needs work), Sandy Alcantara (post-TJ rebound potential with strong second half), Drew Rasmussen (high floor with a nasty cutter, potential for more strikeouts), Shane Baz (big stuff, needs a more consistent fourth pitch after a mid-season move), and Jack Leiter (big room for improvement with midseason adjustments). These pitchers offer upside in dynasty/redraft leagues for those chasing late-draft gains based on Stuff+ trends.
