FFT Express - Jamey Eisenberg’s 2026 All-Sleeper Team! 7 Fantasy Football Players You NEED to Know! (08/24 Fantasy Football Podcast)

It is time for Jamie Eisenberg's all sleeper team right now on fantasy football today express Lord one quarterback two running backs two receivers a tight end and a flex here on this all sleeper team Jamie Who is our sleeper quarterback? I'm gonna go Kyler Murray. I'm excited that he's the starter for the Vikings I'm excited that he's got this receiving core including the tight end to work with in TJ Hawkinson But he's never had this much talent on the field with him with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and Duan Jennings and Being coached by Kevin O'Connell the the biggest thing is will he still run enough because that's been such a big part of his fantasy value Basically averaging 36 yards per game in his career, which is amazing So if we get that we get an improved passer we get an offense that will hopefully pop I think there's an opportunity here for Kyler Murray to push to be a top 12 quarterback I don't have him ranked that way because the position is so deep, but if you are looking for a good second quarterback Or as we know if you wait on the position too long and if you recall that the super flex draft that we did last week He was the first quarterback that I drafted. I think they're still immense upside for Kyler Murray now getting a chance to prove himself a Minnesota Okay, they've done it before with with Sam Darnell and even with Kirk Cousins really me was so good in Minnesota How about a running back or you want to give us two? I'll give you two I'll give you two guys that I just continue to draft two young running backs Both really getting their opportunities for the first time potentially Jonah Coleman would be one and Marson Lloyd would be the other so Looking at Coleman as we've seen you know, it seems as if Sean Payton has a plan to use him Unfortunately as we know JK dominance has missed at least four games in each of the last four seasons and the significant amount of games over that span and So my guess would be it would be a shared situation between RJ Harvey and Jonah Coleman And you're getting Coleman after pick 100 days an easy guy to stash on your bench You may get frustrated. You may have to drop him. I hope that's not the case because he's probably not going to get a heavy workload If everybody is healthy, but we heard reports following the draft that he could be their goal line guy We heard reports that he could get opportunities in the passing game. There's just a lot to like about where Jonah Coleman is at because of who his coach is and certainly if you're in any you know, we're gonna get this question Hey, I'm in a long-term keeper league or some guys that could target late that might be future starters. Well JK Dobbins on a one-year deal I think it's on a one-year deal But probably not with the Broncos very long and RJ Harvey may not be their starter if Coleman does what he's capable of doing The other guy would be Marson Lloyd again. You're banking on the bingo. You're banking on Josh Jacobs may maybe missing time. He's Not an old running back, but he's aging missing time last year We saw Emmanuel Wilson come in and be a very successful replacement option But there is the potential suspension looming and I do think that wood will get opportunities in tandem with Jacobs He's already been banged up in camp with a groin injury So I draft Marson Lloyd almost in the majority of my leagues or have drafted the majority of my leagues He's clearly a lottery ticket and waiting just in case something does happen Jake Yeah, and I think we're seeing a little bit of clarity on how the Packers are going to use their running backs on the event that Josh Jacobs misses some time and that is Chris Brooks working as the third down back But I think Lloyd will play a little bit on third down too. It won't just be his strict third down situation. I think But Lloyd, yeah, the starting running back on a really good team. That's very good for running back production It's pretty enticing if Josh Jacobs does miss any time and honestly like man What a weird like disjointed offseason for Josh Jacobs and Is there a chance of re injury injury experts always say, you know There's always a chance of re injury basically and It just he hasn't played at all in the preseason. He missed a lot of training camp. He's had the all field issues So go Weird unknown vibe around Josh Jacobs right now. I think in and just tying in the the news with Ashton Jente You've heard me say this a lot when you get to the end of your draft and you're looking about who to put on your bench There's so much more benefit to putting running backs That are either direct handcuffs not necessarily for your own guys or an injury away as we're seeing potentially with Mike Washington To being significantly fancy relevance happened year over year forever. So it's not just a guy like Lloyd It's not just guys like Lloyd or Coleman. It's Ray Davis. It's Tank Bigs B. It's Trying to think like the the guys image Johnson, you know, can I can I throw another handcuff in there that we never talk about what about Samashe P Ryan Samashe P Ryan is a perfect one Malik Davis is another one if he's going to be the number two guy in Dallas like there's just there the list is I want to say it's endless, but you know just basically look at Jalen Wright for example, you know like he could be good in in Miami There's just a lot of guys that are a play away from being Maybe not top 10 but could be top 20 could be a flex could be whatever and instead of drafting I do like Trey Tucker but like a Trey Tucker as as a fifth receiver when you have four guys that you like or a sixth receiver Which would be worse or a second tight end or second quarterback like I want my bench to be guys that are a lottery tickets Like that's just the way I build my team. Yeah, you want your bench to have that player Where there's a running back that gets hurt and people go to the waiver wire and they go oh Jamie already has this guy Damn it. All right. We'll be right. We'll be right back on fantasy football today express All right, we got Kyler Murray Marshawn Lloyd and Jonah Coleman so far on our sleepers team two wide receivers, please Yeah, I'll go casing concept Ceyon and Jalen Coker concept Ceyon obviously has been building a lot of momentum this offseason Look a lot of these guys are obvious this point when we're talking about these sleepers and the middle of August but I think the The news on Monday of Dishon Watson being the starter not the best for concept Ceyon But I think we could see a path where it's not going to be long where Watson gets benched And then should our Sanders who will probably throw underneath a lot as we saw with Harold Fanon will help concept Ceyon Because he's most likely going to be the slot receiver for the Browns But I love what the fact I love what they've done in the preseason a manufacturing touches for him So they want to put the ball in his hands another player like if you're looking long-term keeperly As we know dynasties for sure is a first-rumpic But if you're looking long-term keeperly do bump guys like this up because if the Browns get a quarterback Their young talent is fantastic with their backfield set their receiving core now set their tight end is set like You can see these guys being really successful for many years to come And so concept Ceyon hopefully will do enough in his rookie season to be Number three wide receiver worthy But can be a superstar moving forward And in the case of Jalen Coker we saw it last year again. I references on the full length episode last five games Tarkas were basically the same between him and Teterola Mcmillan Coker in those five games one of them was a playoff game average over 14 ppr points per game Teterola Mcmillan under 10 ppr points per game Gonna get a lot of opportunities in this offense because there's not a lot of talent in the passing game So I do think that Coker is going to be a very good late-round pick That could be in the conversation for a starter in three or three relics Okay, who's our sleeper tight end on the all sleeper team You reference him at the very end of our full length episode when I forced you to do the news and notes and that's Tarritz Ferguson Again, not a lot of options in the passing game for the Rams right now I think their third receiver is Jordan Whittington and they don't want to use Jordan Whittington I think their third pass catcher is going to be Tarritz Ferguson and we saw it last year Colby Parkinson was a Borderline starting tight end Ferguson was a rookie not playing very much Well now they have an injured and potentially facing a suspension for Pukinakua And Devonte Adams is 33 years old So you could see a path where maybe both missed time. I hope that's not the case But I'm just taking dart throws here on players with upside So I'll kind of go back to what I said about the running backs if I have an opportunity to take a lottery ticket running back versus second tight end I'm obviously going to take the lottery ticket running back But if you're in a deeper league certainly a tight and premium league Ferguson is going to be a high-end tight end to And I would not be surprised if once we get to Early in the season waiver wire conversation you should be picking up Tarritz Ferguson because We know Sean McVey loves to use his tight ends We know that they're very loaded at the position Remember they still have Tyler Higby and they still have Parkinson and they drafted a tight end as well But I think Ferguson has the receiving chops to be heavily involved here I think staff are willing on him So he's somebody that has crept his way up You know, so he's talked about Dalton Schultz I think once you get past Dalton Schultz, Johan Johnson, two guys who have benefited from injuries He's the next guy for me. So I would actually take him over Jake Ferguson Who may get more targets But I think Terrence Ferguson is the better Ferguson because the offense that he's in We've got Kyler Murray Marshawn Lloyd Jonah Coleman Jalen Coker Casey Concepcion and Terrence Ferguson. We need a sleeper flex Let's go with another Packers guy and I'm going to give you your option I'll let you decide. Jaden Reed or Matthew Golden would you like better? Jaden Reed or Matthew Golden. I like Jaden Reed slightly better Me too. What we've seen from him His last 23 games where he had at least five targets in game There's been a lot of misgames over that time, but it's 23 actually not some last 20 23 games his career where he sat over five targets 15 of those games He scored at least 15 PPR points So there's huge Excuse 13 PPR points. He's average over 15 PPR points for him There's huge production here when he gets chances. Stay healthy I think all three Packers are going to be relevant. I think all four Packers Past Catchers Factory and Tucker Crafts. So Christian Watson, Jaden Reed, Matthew Golden, Tucker Craft, all going to be relevant But I think Jaden Reed is going to be very fun to roster because if there's a Jacob's injury We know they'll use him in giving some carries. Yeah, I think they'll do that anyway of Jaden's healthy But I mean golden's going to be better than he was last year. I think Christian Watson If he's healthy it could be awesome. But Jaden Reed hopefully stays on the field And gets a chance to look like he did in his rookie season Jamie, I need your help. I'm on the clock And the FFT Open League with the eighth overall pick. - Okay. - PPR, you know, I love me some Christian McAfry. But I gotta take I'm on Russ St. Brown, right? - I would, I think it's just safer. - Yeah, let's do it, St. Brown. - It's just easy to draft this way because you know what's coming back to you in round two is the slew of running backs. - I think so, but no genty now. So we got one, two, three, four. We got eight picks before I pick and we got Taylor, McAfry, Walker, Hampton, H.N. Barkley, Henry, I think that's seven running backs. Yeah, I think one of those seven will be there. - Not you're looking at CD Lamar Joseph Jefferson. - Yeah, exactly, exactly. Unless those running backs are the next seven picks, I'm gonna get that running back in round two. But man, McAfry is-- - That was the one you want. - Uh, I-- - Realistically, does McAfry be the one to take the realist? - Yeah, I won't get McAfry a Taylor. I think I would go Hampton and then Barkley and then H.N. those will be my top three. - Not Brown. - He's gone, Chase Brown went seventh. - Wow. - Over, I'm on a St. Brown. - Dan Schneyer is knocking on the door. He needs to get into record a podcast. So we will talk to you tomorrow. - I don't know, bring down on the air for say. - No, we gotta go. We'll talk to you tomorrow on "Fancy Football Today."
