Week 14 brings fantasy owners an interesting spot to pick sleepers at the wide receiver position.
It’s one of the best times of the year as basically every fantasy league has reached their postseason. Even for the teams that are eliminated, it’s still important to stay involved because this is a great time of the season to start gathering intel for the 2018 season. The NFL teams are still playing and every single fantasy player should be as well.
For the owners who are in the postseason, this week is an interesting spot. There are options out there for players who are in a pinch but it’s generally not a good idea to get too cute at this juncture. These receivers are “sleepers” for a reason: they can be volatile and could backfire. There’s plenty of reason to believe in the list, just don’t take it too far and play a sleeper over a receiver like Larry Fitzgerald or even a Mike Evans. Sure, Evans has been disappointing this season. It’s still not the best idea to start a Danny Amendola over him.
There are repeats from previous weeks and even from some of the same teams. At this point in the season, there’s a better understanding of who is reliable and which defenses to pick on. The Week 13 results were a little uneven and Week 14 will hopefully rise above the .500 mark.
