Post-Hype Sleepers For 2026

Post-Hype Sleepers For 2026

Author: HarrisFootball.com August 13, 2026 Duration: 1:01:16

Today we'll talk about a particular type of fantasy football sleeper. A player who's gotten hyped in fantasy circles before, maybe even had "experts" pounding the table for them, but they kinda flopped. But now, as later-round picks, we think they have a chance to deliver on their former promise. It's Post-Hype Sleeper time! In addition, we'll review what happened in the week's joint practices, and declare another winner in the Pound Foolish bribery drawings. Guest: Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Fantasy.

For anyone tired of fantasy football advice that feels like it's just repackaging the same stats and headlines, the Harris Fantasy Football Podcast offers a different path. Hosted by Christopher Harris of HarrisFootball.com, this show is built on a simple, labor-intensive premise: ignoring the box score to actually watch the game film. The conversations you'll hear are born from that tape study, moving beyond superficial numbers to discuss how players are really being used, what the schemes reveal, and which performances are sustainable or due for change. It’s a process focused on understanding the "why" behind the results, whether dissecting a rookie's route-running or a veteran's changing role. This approach informs every episode, aiming to provide actionable insights that help you build a more resilient roster from your draft through the playoff push. The goal isn't just to offer weekly waiver wire names, but to foster a smarter, more nuanced way of thinking about player evaluation and team management throughout the entire NFL season. Tune in for a detailed, film-driven perspective that cuts through the noise of the fantasy football industry.
