While fantasy football managers can easily spot star players who should produce at a high level, they can crush their competition with some shrewd picks that target bounce-back candidates and late-round sleepers.
Bounce-back players either sat out for a big portion of the 2020 season because of injuries or statistically had a down year. Christian McCaffrey lands in this category after he missed 13 games with multiple injuries last season. Yet the All-Pro running back will come off the board as the top pick in a lot of drafts. Managers should look for alternative options beyond the first round.
