The NFC North is probably at its most unpredictable as there will be no Aaron Rodgers for the first time in a long time. Gambling sites have shown that Detroit and Minnesota are the perceived favorites for the division but anything can happen in the NFL. Looking over the rosters, there are some candidates for the biggest fantasy sleeper in each team. Let’s take a look at the NFC North division.
Chicago Bears: TE Cole Kmet [ADP: 113.5]
Cole Kmet had a sneaky good season with a top-seven finish for TEs in fantasy football. He caught 50 balls for 544 yards and seven TDs. He and Justin Fields have established a connection that will still be reliable even with new additions on offense. At 113.5, he’s a very good TE to draft if you went heavy on the other positions first. Hopefully, more passing plays will be drawn up to use Kmet more.
Detroit Lions: WR Marvin Jones [ADP: 245.9]
Detroit picked up WR Marvin Jones from free agency to shore up their WR depth. Now, it looks like he should play a bigger role with WR Jameson Williams out due to a gambling suspension. Other than Amon-Ra, the Lions don’t have strong options on WR as they’re mostly young. Detroit might rely on Marvin Jones to help stabilize the WR core.
Green Bay Packers: RB Aaron Jones [ADP: 58]
Aaron Jones has slid down draft boards and has an ADP of 58. He was a first-round potential pick as late as a year or two ago. Seeing him at fifth-round value made no sense. He’s still a very good pass-catcher and will be a good chunk of the offense with Jordan Love still learning to play QB. I would draft him early knowing what he can do.
Minnesota Vikings: WR Jordan Addison [ADP 107.2]
The Vikings used their first-round pick on WR Jordan Addison out of USC. After letting go of Adam Thielen in the offseason, Addison looks to get the receptions of Thielen. With Justin Jefferson getting attention from the game plan, Addison can take advantage of this and produce a solid rookie season. He’s worth drafting for your flex position.
