RP sleepers: Good buys at their ADP
Mar 2 2025
By 2015, it became hard to call anyone a sleeper. Maybe even earlier than that. So for purposes of this article, we are looking at undervalued relievers who could emerge due to their skills relative to the others in their perspective bullpens. Undervalued is all relative to your league, of course. Here, we are looking at generic ADPs for NFBC formats, but the relative valuation for the skill set projections is the focus.
Starting with the Boston Red Sox, the ADP favorite is Liam Hendriks (RHP, BOS). But should he be? He has missed quite a lot of time and there is no telling whether he can return to 32% K% like nothing ever happened. Here are the current projections including ADP ("A"):
| BOS | SV | HD | IP | xERA | WHIP | K% | K-BB% | HR/9 | A |
| Hendriks, Liam | 12 | 23 | 58 | 3.33 |

This is the annual sleepers column, but let's be honest: There are no sleepers. There are relievers with great skills who are cheaper than they should be ... and that's what you want anyway.
