Training camps are opening around the NFL, which means fantasy football draft season is right around the corner. However, with no preseason scheduled for 2020, fantasy managers are going to have to dive a little bit deeper during training camp to uncover smart value picks and potential sleepers.
When looking for fantasy value beyond the surefire stars, there are typically two routes to take. Managers can target emerging players or rookies on a talent-heavy team and/or a potent offense. They can also target No. 1 options on lesser teams—naturally, legitimate fantasy studs like Christian McCaffrey and Joe Mixon will often emerge from bad offenses.
