Finding a fantasy sleeper at the wide receiver position can be clutch. These guys have the upside to outperform their ranking this week.

With a position as deep as wide receiver in fantasy football, there are always sleepers out there that outperform their ranking and deliver surprise weeks.

Getting ahead of your league and finding these guys before they have a good week is important, and these guys have a chance to do that in Week 13.

10 fantasy wide receiver sleepers for Week 13

10. Josh Reynolds, Detroit Lions

Josh Reynolds’ Lions debut saw him catch 3-of-5 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown. With the Lions unable to field a legitimate number one receiver, it looks like Reynolds’s for the taking. We’ve seen his upside with the Los Angeles Rams in the past, and this was with current Lions quarterback Jared Goff.

Reynolds will see volume in Detroit simply due to the necessity of a number one receiver. He should improve on his five targets and begin to see more volume as he becomes Goff’s go-to guy.

9. Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers

With Deebo Samuel likely missing Week 13, Jauan Jennings steps into a starting role in the 49ers offense. Last week, he caught 2-of-3 targets for 24 yards and a touchdown, and this was with limited opportunity. This week, he will see a notable increase in volume.

Samuel’s 8.4 targets per game won’t all go to Brandon Aiyuk, so there is definitely a void that Jennings will fill in Samuel’s absence. He’s an interesting flier and DFS play this week.
