What is a taxi squad sleeper?

A taxi squad sleeper is a term used in fantasy football to describe a player who is relatively unknown or undervalued but has the potential to break out and have a significant impact on a team. These players are typically stashed on a team's taxi squad or bench in anticipation of their potential breakout performance.

Taxi squad sleepers may be rookies, second-year players, or players who have been overlooked for various reasons but possess the talent and opportunity to make an impact in the future. These players may not be immediate starters in fantasy lineups but could become valuable assets later in the season.

Fantasy football managers often identify taxi squad sleepers through research, scouting reports, preseason performances, and monitoring depth charts for potential opportunities. Stashing these players on a bench or taxi squad can provide a competitive advantage if they exceed expectations and become significant contributors to a team's success.
