Fantasy Football: 10 wide receiver sleepers to target for Week 13
By Dustin Baker
3. Hunter Renfrow (LV)
Game: Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets (Sunday, 12/6, 1:00 pm EST)
It’s a pain in the buttocks to assess sleepers for the Raiders. Tight end Darren Waller is the showstopper, and then Nelson Agholor, Henry Ruggs, and Hunter Renfrow fend for the scraps. Imagine if Tyrell Williams was healthy. Cooks in the kitchen, as they say.
We’re choosing Renfrow this weekend as he is arguably the most consistent of the Raiders wideouts. The Jets allow the seventh-most PPR points in the business to wide receivers at nearly 24 per game.
Some hodgepodge of Raiders receivers is going to make plays. Go with Renfrow as the sleeper in the situation, but make it low-end WR2 or FLEX if your team is skimpy.
4. Breshad Perriman (NYJ)
Game: Las Vegas Raiders at New York Jets (Sunday, 12/6, 1:00 pm EST)
Perriman is the type of player that if he played on a reasonable team with a reasonably-supported quarterback, he could possibly accumulate 1,000+ receiving yards in a season. But this is the Jets you’re reading about.
Las Vegas surrenders 23 PPR points per game to wideouts. That’s is in the bottom half of the NFL. What’s more, the Raiders were just flogged by the Atlanta Falcons. If Atlanta can obliterate Las Vegas, the Jets should be able to keep the game within 10-20 points. To do so, Perriman and Co. will need to produce.
Perriman will accrue 10-15 fantasy points in Week 13.
