Fantasy Football: 10 wide receiver sleepers to target for Week 13
By Dustin Baker
8. Russell Gage (ATL)
Game: New Orleans Saints at Atlanta Falcons (Sunday, 12/6, 1:00 pm EST)
Superstar Julio Jones’ status for Week 13 is iffy. If Jones is a no-go, Gage will see more attention within the Falcons offense. New Orleans is pretty tough in stopping pass-catchers, though. Don’t expect a total heyday.
But the ball will need to go somewhere. That leaves Calvin Ridley, Laquon Treadwell, and Gage. Ridley-Gage is the best combo of that threesome.
9. Mike Williams (LAC)
Game: New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers (Sunday, 12/6, 4:25 pm EST)
We showcase Williams on this sleeper log virtually every other week. He’s up again.
Rookie Justin Herbert loves getting Williams involved, and so do you if Williams is an option on your bench. New England is a middle-of-the-road ballclub in 2020 for pass defense. Belichick’s team allows 22 PPR points per game to wide receivers.
Williams has one of his big games.
10. Corey Davis (TEN)
Game: Cleveland Browns at Tennessee Titans (Sunday, 12/6, 1:00 pm EST)
After the Steelers shellacked the Browns six weeks ago, Cleveland’s defense has steadily improved. They allowed 38 points that game but have allowed over 25 points one time since then, a 37-34 win over Cincinnati.
The Titans wide receiver room is banged up, so Davis should see some more targets from Ryan Tannehill this week. Cleveland is 10th-worst leaguewide in allowing PPR points to wide receivers (23.3).
