Sleepers

Jameis Winston, Buccaneers

Per consensus ADP Winston is QB15, but there's reason for optimism. New Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians has helped develop QBs such as Peyton Manning. Winston has excellent options in WRs Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and TE O.J. Howard who is expected to have his long-awaited breakout season.

Sam Darnold, Jets

Darnold was QB31 for 2018, but improved as the season wore on. He was QB17 the last five weeks of the season. Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa are underrated receivers and TE Chris Herndon (four-game suspension) is another reliable receiver. Le'Veon Bell will not only act as Darnold's pass-catching safety valve, but he'll also help in pass protection and support the Jets' offensive line.
