10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 7
4. Rashod Bateman, Baltimore Ravens
Rashod Bateman finally made his NFL debut in Week 6, catching 4-of-6 targets for 29 yards. It was a less-than-inspiring debut, granted it was his first game back from injury. Things are only going up from here for Bateman, and I’m expecting his role to grow every week, as well as his targets.
The Ravens drafted Bateman in the first round to give Lamar Jackson a reliable number one receiver. This week against Cincy could be his coming-out party. Start him at your flex.
3. Hunter Renfrow, Las Vegas Raiders
The other Raider receiver on this list is the one with a much higher floor: Hunter Renfrow. He’s developed into a high-volume weapon for Derek Carr, as he’s caught 31-of-43 targets for 341 yards and two touchdowns while having a 19.5 percent target share.
Renfrow will continue this success against the Eagles this week, as he’s proved to be matchup-proof so far in 2021. Renfrow is a high-floor start in PPR leagues who can easily have a big week if he finds the end zone.
