10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 7
By Dustin Baker
3. Jarvis Landry (CLE)
Game: Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday, 10/25, 1:00 pm EST)
Landry has never been a touchdown machine, but sooner or later, he needs to score in 2020. The man has 319 receiving yards and zero touchdowns. He’s typically the type of player that tallies five or six scores. Something’s gotta give.
In Week 7, Jarvis and the Browns host the Bengals, a team that ranks 22nd in passing defense (yards allowed). The Bengals secondary is not dreadful, but it also is not any good. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is hot and cold, but he should be warmer than cool this weekend.
Landry will benefit and finally hit paydirt.
4. Brandin Cooks (HOU)
Game: Green Bay Packers at Houston Texans (Sunday, 10/25, 1:00 pm EST)
Milk cartons all over the city of Houston figuratively had pictures of Brandin Cooks on them. The strategy worked. After bottoming out against the Minnesota Vikings — in a game where Cooks had zero catches — the 24-year-old Texans wideout has rebounded with zeal. He’s scored in successive weeks and has 229 receiving yards to his name in those two games.
Cooks is back. Hell, the Texans might even be back.
They won’t be good enough to edge the angry Packers, but Cooks will ball out.
