Don’t Sleep On These Rookies
WR Skyler Bell | Buffalo Bills
Many fantasy players pined for an early-round receiver selection for the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, it was not until the 25th pick of the fourth round that the Bills selected Skyler Bell. Despite his suboptimal draft capital, Bell flashed impressive metrics to make for an intriguing late-round rookie draft pick. He possesses an elite 136.2 (98th percentile) Burst Score. He also showcased the ability to be a target hog, posting a 31.8% (94th percentile) College Target Share.

Any receiver tied to Josh Allen has a solid chance for fantasy success. Like fellow Day 3 rookie picks, Gabriel Davis and Khalil Shakir before him, Bell can thrive with Allen throwing him the football.
WR Malachi Fields | New York Giants
The New York Giants traded 4th and 5th round picks this draft, as well as a 2027 4th round pick, to come up to the 10th pick in the third round to select Malachi Fields. Fields has the draft capital to push both Darnell Mooney and Darius Slayton for opportunities right away. He profiles as a nice complementary downfield jump ball receiver opposite Malik Nabers. Measuring at 6-foot-5, Fields has a top-tier 10.25 (85th percentile) Catch Radius. He also has an above-average Breakout Age of 19.8 (70th percentile). With these underlying metrics, it is only a matter of time before Fields has opportunities in two-receiver sets in New York.
RB Seth McGowan | Indianapolis Colts
Arguably the deepest sleeper on this list, it wasn’t until the 21st pick of the seventh round that the Colts selected Seth McGowan. McGowan finds himself in a wide-open competition for the RB2 role behind stud Jonathan Taylor. The well-traveled product from Mesquite, TX, is currently set to compete with the Colts’ 2025 5th-round pick, D.J. Giddens.

Although an older prospect at 25.5 years of age, McGowan still has an elite Speed Score of 109.7 (91st percentile). He also has bell-cow size, weighing in at 223 pounds. If McGowan is able to secure the RB2 position in Indy, he can make for an easy profit as a late rookie draft selection.
TE Eli Raridon | New England Patriots
The Patriots selected Eli Raridon with the 31st pick in Round 3. Raridon possesses elite athleticism, posting a 109.8 (88th percentile) Speed Score and a 124.5 (84th percentile) Burst Score. While it took until his final season at Notre Dame to produce for the Irish, Raridon did flash with over 400 yards receiving in his senior campaign. Raridon will be hard-pressed to find opportunities in his rookie season in the Patriots’ offense behind Hunter Henry, however, Henry is a free agent after this season. The runway is wide open for Raridon to be Drake Maye‘s primary tight end target in 2027.
TE Oscar Delp | New Orleans Saints
“(UGA TE) Oscar Delp played ENTIRE season with a hairline fracture in his foot…accidentally found on a routine x-ray. Delp wants to compete (at the NFL Combine), but won’t be allowed.”
Telling you, Delp is tough as shit & ready to throw hands for a teammate at any moment. https://t.co/n3vctCCYR2 pic.twitter.com/cKV2GZLg2G

The Saints selected Oscar Delp with the ninth pick in round three. While Delp never amassed more than 300 yards receiving in a single season with the Georgia Bulldogs, he displayed an impressive Pro Day with a hairline fracture in his foot.
Delp has an elite 116.2 Speed Score (95th percentile) and a 129.0 Burst Score (93rd percentile). He will not likely see much of the field behind Juwan Johnson in 2026. However, the Saints can easily move on from Johnson before the 2027 season. Delp, like Raridon, is set up nicely in an ascending Saints offense to be their primary tight end in 2027.
