Training camps are in session, and deep dynasty sleepers are emerging. Focusing on reps with the first team is crucial in identifying players who have the potential to emerge, especially with expanded rosters. Most dynasty leagues feature deep benches and young players who earn consistent playing time hold value. Here are 25 NFC deep dynasty sleepers who have earned their way onto 2024 fantasy football radars.

During this crucial period, when the waiver wires in these deep formats are most active, Footballguys is your go-to source with our comprehensive "What You Need To Know From Every Team This Week" feature. This high-level summary, coupled with our in-depth team reports on all 32 teams, ensures you are well-prepared for the upcoming season. 

To supplement this coverage, the Footballguys Dynasty Show hosted @32BeatWriters, a site dedicated to accumulating relevant information from beat writers across the league. 

These players cover a broad spectrum, from players rostered in almost any Dynasty league to players who merit consideration on watch lists. Deep dynasty sleepers can provide significant value to your team, either as immediate contributors or as players with high upside for the future. 

RB Dante Miller, NY Giants

Tyrone Tracy has earned status as a sleeper with his camp performance. Tracy is on very few waiver wires. Eric Gray was on the 2023 rookie radar and ran well when given the opportunity. But Miller has earned every step as an undrafted free agent. Miller's story is strange; he spent most of his career at Columbia before transferring to South Carolina. Miller attempted to enter the 2024 draft before learning he should have been in the 2023 class. He signed with the Giants after running a sub 4.3 for scouts and earning the nickname "Turbo" in New York, where he worked his way into reps with the first-team offense. Miller is a very deep name, but this backfield is unsettled.

WR Johnny Wilson, Philadelphia

Recent roster projections have the Eagles very light on skill talent, with potentially as few as five wide receivers making the final roster. One of those is return specialist Britain Covey. Covey has six total targets in 33 career games. The other receivers are likely John Ross (yes, that John Ross) and Parris Campbell (currently sidelined with a groin, so yes, that Parris Campbell). Wilson has a stranglehold on the WR3 job at this point. The new offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore, rarely incorporates two tight end sets, so this may be a full-time snap share for Wilson. Wilson has been a star in camp and pulled far ahead of the competition. He is unlikely to see high volume given the other options, but his rare 6-foot-6 frame can allow him to be an immediate red-zone threat. He is a must-add player in deep leagues. 

RB Kendall Milton, Philadelphia

Milton was a surprise after going undrafted. It's likely the product of a college career filled with injuries. The latest roster projections have the Eagles keeping just Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley, and Kenneth Gainwell. But Milton has run hard during the preseason, scoring a touchdown late in the second preseason game to help push the Eagles to victory. He at least has earned a spot on the Eagles practice squad, and his blue-chip background with Georgia usually does not get ignored if he hits the waiver wire. If Saquon Barkley missed time, the team would likely need to look for a power complement. Milton fits that bill. 

WR Jalen Tolbert, Dallas

CeeDee Lamb has missed all of Dallas's preseason activity, an opportunity that has allowed others to step up. Tolbert has. Tolbert has been a preseason star, solidifying himself in three wide receiver sets and consistently winning deep. The Cowboys need his field-stretching ability in their lineup. Lamb can do it all, but Brandin Cooks excelled as a reliable intermediate target for Dak Prescott in 2023 and is best suited for that role at this point of his career. The offense will likely take a hit if Lamb remains out into the season, but there is ample opportunity for Tolbert to earn a regular target share. 

WR Jalen Brooks, Dallas

The Cowboys have a trio of Jalens, with Tolbert, Brooks, and Jalen Cropper all looking likely to make the team. Brooks has been another player who benefited from Lamb's holdout. He profiles best as an underneath receiver who can create with the ball in his hands, but he won deep for a 43-yard gain against the Rams in preseason game one. Tolbert is the priority here, but in a similar situation, if Lamb remains out, Brooks can see regular snaps as the WR3 in this offense. He belongs on the watch list, while Tolbert belongs on rosters.

RB Royce Freeman, Dallas

Freeman immediately impacted the team, drawing praise from Stephen Jones. Freeman and Deuce Vaughn look locked in a camp battle for the RB3 spot behind Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott. This situation needs monitoring, but Freeman could claim the role as the goal line back if he makes the roster.

WR Olamide Zaccheaus,  Washington

For those playing in return yardage leagues (Scott Fish Bowl 14), Zaccheaus is in line to serve as the punt returner. He may also be the WR2 in the offense. The WR2 role has seemingly belonged to Jahan Dotson all offseason, but his summer has been up and down, and he played the most snaps of any receiver in the first preseason game. Rookie Luke McCaffrey was a Day 2 pick but projects way down the depth chart currently, seeing action late into the game. Zaccheaus is a steady vet at this point of his career, and there is little breakout potential, but he has shown himself to be a deep threat. His inclusion speaks less to Zaccheaus as a sleeper and more to a red flag on the other younger receivers who hold value, particularly in Dynasty. The entire organizational focus is on the development of Jayden Daniels, a spot that likely defers to the veterans on the team. 

RB Ian Wheeler, Chicago 

Wheeler has long-shot odds of making the roster. D’Andre Swift, Khalil Herbert, and Roschon Johnson are safe. Travis Homer has been a core special teamer throughout his career, and Velus Jones Jr is getting a chance to establish himself as a running back in addition to return duties. Wheeler has elite explosion traits, running a 4.39 40-yard dash and a 38.5-inch vertical. The undrafted free agent from Howard has made the most of his opportunity and forced the Bears to make a tough choice in their backfield. He is still far under the radar on the fantasy landscape and is worth keeping an eye on.

WR Tyler Scott, Chicago

The Bears' top three receivers are DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze. Scott has positioned himself into "next man up" status. He may even be more. He has consistently won deep throughout offseason practices and will serve a regular role in this offense. Scott can fly and, as a former running back, brings toughness and the ability to run after the catch. Volume is a ways off, but with Allen in a contract year, Scott could emerge as the long-term WR3 for Caleb Williams.  

WR Jalen Nailor, Minnesota

Nailor has been a persistent drumbeat, locking down the WR3 job in the offense this summer. The Vikings have run into a tough stretch, with J.J. McCarthy suffering a season-ending injury and Jordan Addison injured days later. Addison's injury carries minimal long-term concern, but he also has a looming off-the-field arrest that could cost him games. Nailor can win at multiple levels and compliments Justin Jefferson and Addison well. An entire season of Sam Darnold as a quarterback could cap the overall passing game, but the Vikings look to be involved in shootouts all season. Nailor is a low entry point to those scripts. 

WR Daurice Fountain, Detroit

Khalif Raymond will likely serve as the WR3. He knows the offense and has experience with Jared Goff. Fountain has been the talk of the offseason. He brings size to a wide receiver group that otherwise lacks in that department. Amon-Ra St. Brown merits a large target share, as does Sam LaPorta. Jahmyr Gibbs is one of the league's best-receiving backs, and the team is still hoping for a breakout from Jameson Williams. Fountain is on watch lists, but you notice when a player seemingly comes from nowhere on an offense with this potential to garner WR3 or WR4 attention. 

RB Craig Reynolds, Detroit

Sione Vaki has gotten plenty of attention this offseason. His situational versatility and background on both sides of the ball make him an exciting contributor. However, Reynolds is still considered the RB3 within team circles. He has the coaching staff's trust, and he performed well down the stretch in 2021. Given 2023's usage, Reynolds would need David Montgomery and Gibbs out of the lineup for a meaningful workshare. When either missed time last year, the other took on a feature-back role. Reynolds is only on the radar for the deepest leagues, but if one of the starters misses extended time, he will move into handcuff range.

RB Emanuel Wilson, Green Bay

The Packers running back room is as stacked as any in the league with Josh Jacobs, A.J. Dillon, and MarShawn Lloyd. The team has been preserving Jacobs and Lloyd's career, which has gotten off to a rocky start with multiple soft tissue injuries. Meanwhile, Wilson keeps popping up. He was the star of the 2023 preseason, leading the league in preseason rushing yards, and has carried that over into 2024. In deep leagues, sharp players believe in a "hold any back on a 53-man roster" philosophy. Wilson is making it hard for the Packers to leave him off.

RB Miles Sanders, Carolina

We need to throw out the 2023 Panthers results. Sanders commented early in camp that the team has picked up their atmosphere under Dave Canales. Early returns show a player much closer to his top 20 ADP. Sanders has been a frequent cut candidate, but his contract could make that unwieldy. Meanwhile, Chuba Hubbard went down with a knee injury in practice, allowing Sanders to build a critical role. Sanders can be an early-season ZeroRB candidate.

WR Jonathan Mingo, Carolina

A disappointment as a 2023 2nd-round pick, Mingo has picked up his play in 2024's camp. Some steam has come off him following a critical drop in the Panthers' first preseason game, and the team would love 2024 1st-round pick Xavier Legette to lock down a starting spot in the rotation with Diontae Johnson and Adam Thielen, but Mingo is lurking. Bryce Young has looked better in this camp, a product of the team looking better under Canales. Mingo is still a deep speculative watch, but if he can translate his physicality, he still has the upside that allows him to have high draft capital.

WR A.T. Perry, New Orleans 

The Saints WR3 job is coming down to the wire between Perry and Cedrick Wilson Jr. Unfortunately, a recent injury to Rashid Shaheed could mean the WR2 job is coming down to the wire between Perry and Wilson Jr.  The Saints offense as a whole is a unit you may want to avoid any pieces of outside Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Taysom Hill (only where he has tight end eligibility), and potentially Shaheed. Still, Perry had modest success as a rookie, showing the ability to win downfield, and he has a massive frame to profile as a potential possession option. He is a sleeper in an offense that needs playmakers.

WR Jalen McMillan, Tampa Bay

McMillan has ascended beyond deep sleeper status. He still deserves mention. He has been a persistent drumbeat in Buccaneers camp, and new offensive coordinator Liam Coen will run a three-wide receiver set, similar to his mentor, Sean McVay.  McMillan can contribute via jet motion, through schemed passing touches, or as a vertical field stretcher. This versatility will hold value as defenses focus on Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. McMillan may need one of the veterans out of the lineup to start in fantasy leagues, but he can be a crucial player in the team's offensive future. 

WR Ray-Ray McCloud III, Atlanta

McCloud gained attention with Rondale Moore's season-ending injury, but the truth is that McCloud was already playing above Moore. McCloud has spent the last two seasons in a Shanahan offensive system like Zac Robinson is implementing. His after-the-catch ability and versatility to contribute to the run game stand out compared to the rest of the receiver room. McCloud is in his seventh season and far from a young breakout candidate, but he has earned his standing as an NFL receiver and can reward managers in deep best ball formats. 

RB Jordan Mason, San Francisco

Reports out of San Francisco have Mason supplanting Elijah Mitchell as the backup to Christian McCaffrey. That role carries a massive contingent upside. If McCaffrey were out of the lineup, Mason would immediately enter the conversation as a fantasy RB1. He should be rostered in all league formats until a significant sign emerges that he does not hold the primary backup job. 

WR Jake Bobo, Seattle

The Seahawks have one of the most talented wide receiver trios in all of football, with DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tyler Lockett entrenched as starters. Still, Bobo continues to draw raves for his hands. Bobo brings excellent size to the position at 6-foot-4, and he translates that as an outstanding blocker. He will not wow with athleticism and is already 26 despite being in his second season. Still, his reliability in the role can allow him to cement his status as the WR4 and develop as a red zone weapon.

WR Dareke Young, Seattle

Young faces the same crowded receiver trio as Bobo, but their games could not be more different. Young is a physical freak, measuring in at 6-foot-2 and 224 lbs, posting a 9.93 Relative Athletic Score (out of 10) before his rookie season. Coach Mike Macdonald has nicknamed Young "The Silent Assassin" because of his reliability in all areas. Young has taken snaps at fullback and worked at all three receiver positions, earning standout recognition for his blocking ability and athleticism. Bobo and Young will likely remain under the radar due to the Seahawks' receiver depth, but they would be starters in other rotations around the league. 

WR Jordan Whittington, LA Rams

Did the team that found Puka Nacua do it again? Nacua has remained out with a knee injury, allowing Whittington to continue to shine in his first camp. Whittington was a five-star recruit overshadowed at Texas by Xavier Worthy and then Adonai Mitchell, along with multiple injuries that prevented a breakout. As a high school wildcat quarterback, he rushed for 334 yards in the state championship, breaking Eric Dickerson's state record. Oh, and he was the defensive MVP of that game. Whittington is strong after the catch and a problem for corners to confront downfield with the ball. The team does not expect Nacua to miss any regular season, but talk about the camp has Whittington as the direct backup to Nacua and Cooper Kupp. Whittington is talented enough to strike lightning twice if either of the Rams' primary receivers misses time.  

TE Davis Allen, LA Rams

The Rams gave Colby Parkinson a significant free-agent contract and are still hopeful that Tyler Higbee will return to health. The depth at the position will likely prevent any one player from breaking out in a meaningful way. Parkinson is expected to be the tight end for single tight end sets, mainly due to his blocking acumen. But Allen is the one to watch. The second-year tight end has natural receiving ability and flashes when given a chance in 2023. The team will likely dabble with two more tight end sets but still have heavy three-wide receiver looks. Allen is a deep-watchlist player, but this offense should be excellent, and he will get a chance to play a significant role. 

WR Greg Dortch, Arizona

Marvin Harrison Jr. has been as advertised in his first camp, but Dortch has stolen the spotlight. Dortch has been a daily highlight and solidified himself as the starting slot receiver. Dortch was a story in 2022, posting three games over nine receptions and 80 yards. Dortch is worth rostering in most league depths and is a potential breakout player in 2024. 

TE Elijah Higgins,  Arizona

Higgins gained a bit of a profile as a rookie, landing on an explosive Miami offense. Converting from a college wide receiver proved difficult, and the Dolphins decided to move on. The Cardinals pounced, claiming Higgins in final roster cuts. Higgins clicked late in his rookie season, catching passes in the last seven games. Higgins has claimed the TE2 role behind Trey McBride, playing in two tight end sets. He brings receiving ability and athleticism to the position in an offense that prioritizes tight end involvement. Tight end handcuffs outside of Isaiah Likely are not a thing, but if McBride were out of the lineup, Higgins has sleeper potential.
