10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 12
By Dustin Baker
5. Tim Patrick (DEN)
Game: New Orleans Saints at Denver Broncos (Sunday, 11/29, 4:05 pm EST)
One byproduct of the injury early in the year to Courtland Sutton: The Broncos organization learned that Patrick is a terrific wide receiver. He’s been just as (if not more) productive as rookie wideout, Jerry Jeudy. When Sutton returns in 2021, the Broncos will have a spooky three-headed monster in the wide receiver room with Sutton, Patrick, and Jeudy. Denver will need to score ample points to hang tough vs. the Saints. Therefore, we surmise Patrick tallies some PPR points.
6. Emmanuel Sanders (NO)
Game: New Orleans Saints at Denver Broncos (Sunday, 11/29, 4:05 pm EST)
Last week for New Orleans, it was no Drew Brees, no problem. Taysom Hill and the Saints took care of business against the divisional foe Falcons. The Broncos are better defensively than Atlanta, but they should find a way to reign victorious in Colorado. Sanders is sure-handed and a lot of attention will be allotted to the finally-healthy Michael Thomas. Go Sanders as a low-end WR2 or FLEX.
7. Denzel Mims (NYJ)
Game: Miami Dolphins at New York Jets (Sunday, 11/29, 1:00 pm EST)
The Jets are horrendous, but Mims is not. Someone-to-Mims in New York will be a high-flying connection for years to come once the Jets determine who the long-term quarterback will be. Mims’ stock is rising as he has tabulated over 40 receiving yards in each of his last four starts. The trend will continue against the rival Dolphins. Mims might even score.
