# Pat Fitzmaurice: Fitzmorris names Bears RB Roschon Johnson a deep sleeper, arguing the rebuilt interior offensive line and Ben Johnson's scheme could make them a David Montgomery-style goal-line back. They also like Browns rookie Dylan Sampson as a late-round talent bet and Panthers WR Jalen Coker as a late-round flyer, and would rather have Tyler Warren than Hunter Henry. **Claimed:** Jul 17, 2025 **Pundit:** Pat Fitzmaurice — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/pat-fitzmaurice **Outlet:** FantasyPros Fantasy Football Podcast (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air or in an interview **Original:** https://omny.fm/shows/fantasypros-fantasy-football-podcast/fantasy-football-sleepers-that-will-blow-up-in-2025-ep-1615 3 checkable claims — 2 sleeper calls and 1 fantasy ranking — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 4 players and teams, each linked to their own record. All 3 have settled, averaging 33.3 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. > So Roshan is a pretty compelling deep sleep. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Dylan Sampson to outplay his draft cost (RB sixty)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Dylan Sampson, Cleveland Browns - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Jalen Coker to outplay his draft cost (late round flyer)** - Kind: Sleeper Calls · About: Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 0 for a naive guess - “I do agree with a lot of what treal is saying about Hunter Henry, but I would take Tyler Warren just for the sure possibilities with the upside.” - Kind: Fantasy Rankings - Verdict: scored 0 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess ## Who this take is about - Dylan Sampson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/dylan-sampson - Cleveland Browns — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/browns - Jalen Coker — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jalen-coker - Carolina Panthers — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/panthers ## What others said about the same people - Rich Eisen on Myles Garrett: Discussing Myles Garrett's trade request, Eisen said they expect Garrett to get their way and be moved out of Cleveland rather than stay, which is why staying would be shocking. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/b61b90d2-d027-4022-b57a-d30ac36f21bc (scored 100) - Zach Roberts on Corey Thornton: Roberts projects the Carolina Panthers' 53-man roster following the Hall of Fame Game, naming every player they expect to make the team at each position, and pegs AJ Dillon as the fourth running back on the depth chart. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/eef72be3-9114-401b-a6e8-2ffc335cc7fb (scored 100) - Doug Joubert on Cleveland Browns: Joubert picks the Browns to win 28-17, saying the Saints haven't improved over the first half of the season despite Cleveland starting Shedeur Sanders. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/1dc26285-5f15-45a0-93a7-62d8bd585adc (scored 26.19) - Pat McAfee on Cleveland Browns: McAfee picked the Browns, with Shedeur Sanders starting, to beat the Saints in New Orleans. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/9d0f9dd7-1016-4f2f-ab92-fe6567b2b0be (scored 0) - Nick Wright on Carolina Panthers: Wright made several outright game calls for Week 9 alongside their spread picks: Kansas City beating the Jets 31-20, Detroit winning at Miami, New England edging Green Bay by a field goal or so, Carolina winning outright over Denver, and Houston blowing out the Chargers 27-12. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/14c1f8dd-d8ff-498f-b705-4b468ff964f8 (scored 0) - Michael Moore on Shedeur Sanders: In a Week 9 injury roundup, Moore forecast which banged-up fantasy contributors would play or sit: Deshaun Watson, Garrett Wilson, David Montgomery, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, TreVeyon Henderson and Terrance Ferguson are expected out, while Travis Kelce, Saquon Barkley, Michael Wilson, Christian Watson and Emeka Egbuka should play.
