2015 Fantasy Football: Last Minute Sleepers

Tight End:
Delanie Walker, Titans (10th, 10th round) – Despite having one of the worst QB situations in the league last year, Walker still finished 8th overall among fantasy TEs. He also had more 100+ yards games than any TEs except Gronk and Graham. With promising rookie Marcus Mariota taking over under center this season for the Titans I could see Walker becoming his safety valve receiver and putting up at least equal stats to last year if not significantly better.
Tyler Eifert, Bengals (13th TE, 12th round) – I’ve ended up with Eifert in all three of my drafts so far and have been happy where I got him each time. He’s currently going in the 12th round despite the fact that he’s got the Bengals TE job all to himself now that Jermaine Gresham is gone. The 2013 1st round pick has the size, speed, and hands to be a weapon in the passing game. He had borderline value last season while splitting targets and with the TE job to himself could blow up this season.
