NFL Sleepers: Value Monster you need for Week 16
By John Fazio
Let’s target what you really want, NFL sleepers value. Those low cost DFS guys that beat salary expectations so your studs can shine. Mix this value pool with an assortment of high cost players and let the fun begin.
NFL Sleepers Quarterbacks
Dak Prescott (Dallas)
Forget last week. That was at Indy and Dak is far superior at home and a key NFL Sleepers pick this week. Witness his last home game where he tore apart the Eagle secondary for 455 yards throwing 3 touchdowns.
Nick Mullins (San Fran)
What’s with the low price tag on this guy? He throws for a ton of yards, averaging over 340 in the last 3 weeks. Allow him touchdowns in relation to passing yards and he could be a monster value.
Ryan Tannehill (Miami)
He’s a long shot, a GPP only – but his last 3 home games have seen 3 TD passes each, and before that 2 against the Tennessee defense. He will be massively under owned so don’t dismiss his value.
NFL Sleepers Running Backs
Joe Mixon (Cincy)
Not cheap but has to be mentioned. Ton of carries, the only talent at his position, the offense runs thru him, and the Browns have a porous run defense.
Marlon Mack (Indy)
Could be the focal point of the offense as the Giants rank 5th against the pass and 29th against the run. Strong possibility for good yards and at least 1 TD.
Jordan Howard (Chicago)
Back in form and looking strong. A solid threat to gain valuable fantasy points at a low price.
NFL Sleepers Wide Receivers
Alshon Jeffery (Philly)
Way too low a price for the Eagles top WR whether it be Foles or Wentz at QB. The last 2 weeks combined has him 14/17 for 210 yards. Excellent catch rate per throw since week eleven.

Robbie Anderson (Jets)
If fellow WR Enunwa remains out again this week, Anderson is a solid play at a very reduced price. The last 2 weeks has seen him average over 20 DK points each.
Dante Pettis (San Fran)
Always a threat for a big game at a bargain price. Good as a stack with QB Mullens. Week 13 at Seattle saw Pettis achieve 32.7 DK points so his ceiling is high.
NFL Sleepers Tight Ends
Barring a late injury, play the high priced studs at TE. It’s difficult enough to get consistent points out of the best ones let alone try and pick a sleeper.
DST Patriots
This group is priced low this week. Why? They get sacks and interceptions and are hosting the Bills.
DST Saints
New Orleans defense is coming alive the last 5 weeks. Priced too low for a home game even against the Steelers.
DST Jets
These guys have been giving fantasy players a decent score over the last 3 weeks, and Aaron Rodgers is not healthy. Worth a look.
Good luck and let’s win some money!
