10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 12
By Dustin Baker
8. Damiere Byrd (NE)
Game: Arizona Cardinals at New England Patriots (Sunday, 11/29, 1:00 pm EST)
We were determined to select a Patriot last week, so we chose Jakobi Meyers. It was the wrong Patriot. Perhaps the chemistry is building with Damiere Byrd and Cam Newton rather than Meyers or N’Keal Harry. In any event, Byrd is hot, and that bodes well for sleepers. Byrd is Newton’s guy in Week 12.
9. Christian Kirk (ARI)
Game: Arizona Cardinals at New England Patriots (Sunday, 11/29, 1:00 pm EST)
Kirk, in some weeks, is too good to be considered a sleeper. And then in other weeks, he’s seemingly missing in action. For Week 12, Larry Fitzgerald has been ruled out. That makes Kirk a more attractive option while New England focuses on slowing De’Andre Hopkins. Kirk is probably the best sleeper in this entire analysis.
10. Travis Fulgham (PHI)
Game: Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles (Monday, 11/30, 8:15 pm EST)
Fulgham turned back into a pumpkin as of late. He’s registered two catches for 16 yards in his last two games. Yuck. Seattle’s secondary offers Fulgham (and the Eagles, in general) a wonderful spot to get the passing game cooking. The Seahawks allow a humiliating 32 PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers. The Eagles need this game, Fulgham needs to return to October form, and you need a fantasy win. Go Fulgham.
