Week four in the books and we saw big games from last week’s list. What sleepers could get you past your 2-2 record this week in fantasy?

Sleepers come in all shapes and sizes. Low start values, weird matchups. We’ll discuss them all. Here are 10 wide receivers this week who could save your matchup if you’re in need.

From the perfect matchup against a struggling secondary to the wide receiver who could steal the spotlight as that third option and everyone in between.

No. 10 Danny Amendola vs Cincinnati

Amendola fits at this point as a deep sleeper still. Less than five targets in any game this season and hasn’t passed the 50-yard mark either. The free agent signing is due for his first good game of 2018 and I think this is it.

The Bengals have given up the 5th most yards through the air this season but are middle of the league in yardage per with 7.4 yards per pass attempt. That’s where Amendola could thrive in this matchup if Tannehill is forced to forgo the deep ball for chunk plays.

Was Amendola boosted by the Pats or can he find similar success with a good core in Miami? I think week 5 is when we find out for real.
