With free agency set to boom next week and the 2020 NFL draft taking place a month after that, fantasy football managers are already doing what they can to prepare for the upcoming season.
Though a lot changes over the next few months, finding early sleepers can be beneficial to success in fantasy football. The Indianapolis Colts had a down year in that department but things could be looking up.
In the case of wide receivers Parris Campbell and Zach Pascal, ESPN’s Matthew Berry believes they should be looked at as potential late-round sleepers early in the offseason.
I spoke with Colts coach Frank Reich about a few subjects, but one of them was expectations for Parris Campbell and Zach Pascal. He’s excited to get both of them on the field at the same time, along with T.Y. Hilton. Don’t sleep on either guy at the end of your draft.
It isn’t easy targeting late-round sleepers at this point in the offseason. So much changes that it’s best to simply keep an eye open and stay fluid with the moves that take place.
The Colts offense was a major disappointment in 2019. Jacoby Brissett failed to live up to expectations after taking over for Andrew Luck while the wide receiver corps was injured throughout the entire campaign. It also didn’t help that Eric Ebron had little to no production before opting to get season-ending surgery.
The Colts should be in the market for wide receiver help this offseason. Whether that comes in the form of free agency, the draft or both, the Colts should be viewed as a team ready to make some changes to the room.
If that happens, the perception of Campbell and Pascal as sleepers could change. If the Colts try to add more top-end talent to the room, it likely pushes both players down on the depth chart.
It will be interesting to see what the Colts do at the wide receiver position this offseason but whatever they do is likely to have an impact on both Campbell and Pascal in some way.
