NFL
11 Fantasy Football Sleepers to Target This Year
Which late-round targets could end up being huge assets for your fantasy football squads this year?

Bruce Ellington, WR, San Francisco 49ers

By Anthony Amico

Bruce Ellington is an elite athlete, recording better SPARQ scores than receivers like Odell Beckham and Brandin Cooks from the 2014 draft class.

Now, heading into his third season, it appears as though he'll earn a starting job playing for Chip Kelly and the 49ers, and he should be their top slot player in three-wide receiver sets. This is a slot position that has garnered 232 targets over the last two seasons for Jordan Matthews in Philadelphia.

Given the 49ers high probability of being a bad team in 2016 (they have a Bovada win total prop of 5.5, and our numbers think they're going to win 6.2 games) causing a pass-happy game script, there should be plenty of targets to go around for Ellington, who is going undrafted right now on FantasyFootballCalculator.com.
