Top 10 Devy Players Flying Under the Radar

In Devy fantasy football, the most significant edge doesn’t come from knowing the obvious stars; it comes from identifying the next wave of talent before their value skyrockets. While everyone is focused on the stars, the savviest managers are quietly acquiring assets whose situations have artificially suppressed their production or perception. These are the players flying under the radar, and securing them now is how you build a championship-caliber roster for years to come.

Who do you think is the most undervalued devy player right now? Drop your sleeper in the comments below!

1. LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina

• 2025 Snapshot: 733 pass yds, 4 TDs, 1 INT through 4 games.

• A brutal supporting cast, particularly on the offensive line, has led to a nation-leading 12 sacks and suppressed stats. The narrative around Sellers has turned negative due to these surface-level numbers, creating a massive buy-low window.

• The Edge: Sellers is arguably the most physically gifted quarterback in college football, possessing an elite arm and rare agility for his 6’3”, 240-pound frame. The struggles aren’t due to a lack of talent but a lack of support. Once his situation improves, his unique combination of size, arm strength, and rushing ability will make him a fantasy cheat code.

• NFL Player Comp: Anthony Richardson. Like Richardson, Sellers is a toolsy, high-upside project whose athleticism is a nightmare for defenses, even as he refines his passing consistency.

2. Justice Haynes, RB, Michigan

• 2025 Snapshot: 537 rushing yds, 6 TDs, 8.1 YPC through 4 games.

• After being stuck in a committee at Alabama, Haynes’s explosive transfer to Michigan was initially overlooked. He’s not yet a household name in devy circles despite a record-setting start.

• The Edge: Haynes is a complete, three-down back with elite contact balance, vision, and power. He’s proving he can handle a feature workload and has the home-run speed to break a long touchdown on any given play. In a run-heavy system, he’s poised for a monster workload.

• NFL Player Comp: Josh Jacobs. A tough, versatile runner who excels after contact and can be a reliable receiver out of the backfield, offering a safe floor with weekly RB1 ceiling potential.

3. Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

• 2025 Snapshot: 24 rec, 314 yds, 4 TDs through 3 games.

• A history of significant injuries (knee, collarbone) has created a “low floor” narrative that overshadows his elite production when healthy.

• The Edge: When on the field, Tyson is a technician. He’s a polished route-runner who wins at all three levels and is a nightmare on third down. He’s the front-runner to be the first receiver off the board in the 2026 NFL Draft, and his current production confirms his WR1 status.

• NFL Player Comp: Emeka Egbuka. A versatile and highly productive receiver who may not always be the flashiest but consistently gets open and produces, capable of being a team’s primary target.

4. Darius Taylor, RB, Minnesota

• 2025 Snapshot: 161 rushing yds, 0 TDs, 4.9 YPC through 2 games.

• Taylor lacks the “wow” factor and long breakaway runs that generate hype. He’s a consistent, high-floor back who gets overlooked in favor of more explosive names.

• The Edge: Taylor is a tough, north-south runner with a wrestling background that shows in his contact balance. He’s a proven workhorse who is also a capable pass-catcher (54 receptions in 2024). He’s the definition of a reliable, low-risk asset who will carve out a role at the next level.

• NFL Player Comp: David Montgomery. A back who wins with vision, toughness, and consistency rather than elite athleticism, providing steady production on a heavy volume of touches.

5. Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State

• 2025 Snapshot: 12 rec, 219 yds, 3 TDs through 3 games.

• Playing alongside the generational talent of Jeremiah Smith, Tate is perpetually in the shadow. He’s an afterthought for many, despite being a highly productive and skilled receiver in his own right.

• The Edge: Tate is a smooth, savvy route-runner with a high football IQ and a large catch radius. He excels in the intermediate game and is a quarterback’s best friend. You’re buying an elite prospect at a discount simply because of his teammate.

• NFL Player Comp: Garrett Wilson. A technically refined receiver who may not have elite top-end speed but wins with precise routes, strong hands, and an ability to make plays after the catch.

6. Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson

• 2025 Snapshot: 5 rec, 49 yds, 0 TDs through 2 games (returning from injury).

• Why He’s Under the Radar: A lower-body injury suffered in the 2025 opener has created an “out of sight, out of mind” effect, causing managers to forget his First-Team All-ACC 2024 campaign.

• The Edge: Williams is an elite route-runner with a quick release and natural hands. Before the injury, he was projected as a potential first-round pick. This is a temporary discount on a player with proven, high-end production and the polish to be an immediate NFL contributor.

• NFL Player Comp: Amon-Ra St. Brown. A nuanced route-runner who thrives in the short-to-intermediate game, creates exceptional separation, and is a volume-based PPR machine.

7. Jaydn Ott, RB, Oklahoma

• 2025 Snapshot: 9 att, 17 yds, 0 TDs through 3 games.

• After transferring from Cal, Ott is buried on the depth chart, leading to abysmal early-season production. Many see the stats and assume he’s lost a step.

• The Edge: Ott was a 1,300-yard rusher in the Pac-12. The talent hasn’t vanished; the opportunity has. This is a classic case of a talented player in a new system. Any shift in the Sooners’ backfield could immediately restore his value as a proven workhorse.

• NFL Player Comp: James Conner. A sturdy, reliable back who can handle a heavy workload, contribute in the passing game, and score touchdowns, embodying a physical, no-nonsense running style.

8. Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State

• 2025 Snapshot: 179 rushing yds, 5 TDs, 4.4 YPC through 3 games.

• A slow start to 2025 has caused panic, making managers question the hype that had him in the RB1 conversation for the 2026 class.

• The Edge: Singleton is a well-rounded back with size, athleticism, and proven production (over 1,000 yards as a freshman and in 2024). He’s also a capable receiver. This is a short-term narrative dip. His talent and track record suggest a positive regression is coming, making this a prime buy-low moment.

• NFL Player Comp: Rashaad Penny. A back with good size and burst who can rip off long runs and handle a feature role when healthy, offering a blend of power and home-run ability.

9. Ryan Williams, WR, Alabama

• 2025 Snapshot: 10 rec, 195 yds, 2 TDs through 2 games.

• Why He’s Under the Radar: As a freshman, his incredible production (865 yards, 8 TDs) was overshadowed by the historic season of Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith.

• The Edge: Williams was Alabama’s leading receiver as a 17-year-old. He possesses NFL-ready speed and fluidity. Now a sophomore, he’s poised for a true national breakout. You’re buying a future top-10 NFL Draft pick before his value reaches its peak.

• NFL Player Comp: CeeDee Lamb. A dynamic playmaker with elite YAC ability, body control, and a knack for making big plays, whose freshman production profiles similarly to Lamb’s at Oklahoma.

10. Ryan Wingo, WR, Texas

• 2025 Snapshot: 13 rec, 190 yds, 3 TDs through 4 games.

• Buried on a deep depth chart as a true freshman, Wingo couldn’t break out. Now, with Arch Manning at QB, he’s just beginning to show his potential.

• The Edge: Wingo is a physical specimen (6’2”, 214 lbs) with great speed and strong hands. He was a top recruit for a reason, and his role is expanding weekly. This is your chance to buy the breakout as it’s happening.

• NFL Player Comp: Roy Williams. A big, athletic receiver who can stretch the field vertically and be a dominant force on the outside, reminiscent of the Longhorns legend.
