June has arrived. As NFL teams practice across the country in pursuit of a strong 2019, it’s time to ramp up our fantasy football draft prep as well. To start, we’ll spend the next two weeks setting the scene with sleepers, busts, breakouts and bouncebacks.

As such, most of the players in this column will be people you’ve probably heard of—these days serious fantasy players have heard of everyone—but each of our early sleepers has an average draft position outside the top 100 in a typical draft.
