While fantasy baseball owners should always be wary of Opening Day overreactions, the (very) early portion of the 2019 MLB slate has already highlighted the value of a sleeper.
For instance, if you had the foresight of drafting Tim Beckham—available in 61 percent of Yahoo leagues—you've already banked three homers and five RBI. Joc Pederson (available in 71 percent), Ryon Healy (89 percent) and Kolten Wong (93 percent) have also yielded multi-homer dividends.
Those, of course, may be nothing more than Week 1—or, in the case of the latter trio, Day 1—assets, but each highlights the potential payoff of finding a hidden gem.
