WR Sleepers

Allen Hurns-Jacksonville Jaguars: Hurns found the end zone for the third straight week matching last week’s yardage total with 116 yards.  He had five catches on his six targets and remains a solid sleeper option in the Jags’ passing attack.

Jaelen Strong-Houston Texans:  Strong had never caught an NFL pass before this week, but he had a pair of catches this week both resulting in touchdowns and 53 yards.  He only got the chance to play this week due to injuries to Nate Washington and Cecil Shorts, but he looks like he could contribute if and when he earns some playing time.

Willie Snead-New Orleans Saints: As the Saints played from behind against the Eagles, Snead led the team in targets with 11 passes coming his way.  He hauled in six of those passes for a nice 141-yard total although he didn’t fine the end zone.  Snead has emerged as the team’s second WR threat across from Cooks and is a nice pickup for this week’s game in Atlanta.

Josh Huff-Philadelphia Eagles: Huf had disappeared from the Eagles passing game and had caught no passes in either of the last two weeks.  He turned that around on Sunday, though, catching four passes for 78 yards with a touchdown in Philadelphia’s home win over  Snead and the Saints.
