2022 Fantasy Football Sleepers
Sleeper: A draft term for a NFL player that an owner believes is going to have a breakout season. These are usually players who are not rookies, but they can be.

| Name | Pos | Team | Age | Yrs Exp. |
Pos. Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Travis Etienne | RB | JAX | 24 | 1 | RB - #14 |
|
After dominating in the run game for Clemson in 2018 (204/1,658/24) and 2019 (207/1,614/19) while averaging almost eight yards per carry, Etienne had a more challenging time finding open space at the second level of the defense in 2020 (168/914/14 – 5.4 yards per rush)... Read More | |||||
| Chase Edmonds | RB | TB | 27 | 4 | RB - #24 |

| Isiah Pacheco | RB | KC | 24 | R | RB - #46 |

He also has good size (5-11, 215) and has even worked out of the slot in training camp in addition to taking kick returns.

| Rachaad White | RB | TB | 24 | R | RB - #49 |
|
After a limited role in 2020 in college (571 combined yards with six catches and eight catches on 50 touches), White flashed three-down ability (182/1,006/15 with 43 catches for 456 yards and one touchdown). He gained 5.5 yards per rush and 10.6 yards per catch.
