Labor Day is right around the corner, which means it is crunch time for fantasy football drafts, and if you are not looking at Zach Charbonnet right now, you are making a massive mistake. With just one preseason game left before the 2026-27 NFL season kicks off, it is time to zero in on the players who can actually win you your league, and our guys in the Emerald City are flying under the radar.
Our Seahawks Are Your Secret Weapons This Season
The fantasy experts at FantasyPros are dropping their sleeper lists, and for us, a sleeper is someone with “a strong chance to exceed expectations to become surprise difference-makers for fantasy managers.” That sounds like the kind of player we love: the underrated talent ready to blow up. Zach Charbonnet, our running back, is listed with an ADP of 45 in half PPR scoring. Think about that for a second. An ADP of 45 for a guy who could absolutely explode this year. He is going to be a steal for whoever snags him. Do not let that be someone else in your league! He is poised to make a real impact, and if you draft him, you are getting incredible value.
But Charbonnet is not the only Seahawk who could be a game-changer. Rashid Shaheed, our speedy wide receiver, is also on the sleeper list, clocking in with an ADP of 54. Shaheed has the potential for those week-winning plays that can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. You need players who can surprise, who can put up numbers when no one expects it, and both Charbonnet and Shaheed fit that description perfectly. These are the guys who could turn your mid-round picks into fantasy gold.
Don’t Forget About AJ Barner and Your Team’s Identity
While you are eyeing those running back and wide receiver spots, do not sleep on our tight end, AJ Barner. He is sitting there with an ADP of 26, making him another strong sleeper candidate who could become a consistent fantasy producer. Having a tight end who can exceed expectations is huge, and Barner definitely has that potential.
Now, once you have stacked your roster with these sneaky Seahawks picks, you need a team name that screams Seattle pride! You cannot just roll with some generic junk. How about “JSN Bourne” for our star receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba? Or maybe “Captain Jaxon Sparrow” if you want to get a little more adventurous. For our QB, Sam Darnold, you could go with “McDarnold’s” and rep the new era. Your team name should be as fire as your draft strategy.
The final preseason game is fast approaching before the 2026-27 NFL season kicks off. Get ready, study those ADPs, and remember to grab our Emerald City sleepers. Your fantasy championship might just depend on it.
