6. Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints

Rostered: 12.0%

Juwan Johnson was a popular sleeper pick following his two-touchdown Week 1 performance. However, Johnson and the Saints’ offense, as a whole, disappointed in Week 2.

Jameis Winston had a mere 111 passing yards and zero touchdowns. Johnson had one reception for 23 yards, while Lil’Jordan Humphrey led the Saints with 27 yards.

Johnson remains the go-to red-zone option in New Orleans. However, his upside will be contingent on Winston’s performance. Considering Winston’s past statistics, last week should be an anomaly for Johnson.

5. Adam Trautman, New Orleans Saints

Rostered: 4.4%

Yes, I am listing two Saints’ tight ends as sleepers this week. The Saints have not been able to move the ball very much in the passing game. Winston has a total of 259 passing yards in two games.

With Michael Thomas out, Trautman still has upside. He was targeted six times against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1.

He could have a breakout game against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
