De'Zhaun Stribling is one of my favorite deep sleepers because his draft cost is still far too low for his potential role. The 49ers took him 33rd overall, and he's already made an impression with 11 catches for 109 yards through two preseason games. The depth chart in front of him is shaky, leaving Stribling as one of the few healthy, explosive options in a scheme that's made role players into fantasy weapons for years.

Stribling's 33rd overall draft capital and preseason production offer sleeper upside.

Stribling is a favorite deep sleeper because his draft cost is still far too low for his potential role; the 49ers took him 33rd overall and he has already made an impression with 11 catches for 109 yards through two preseason games. The depth chart in front of him is shaky, leaving Stribling as one of the few healthy, explosive options in a scheme that has made role players into fantasy weapons for years. He has the size, speed, and hands to become a real weapon for Brock Purdy, yet he is still priced like a rotational piece outside the top 50. If he earns early targets, Stribling has a legitimate path to weekly relevance in one of the league's most efficient offenses.
