10 TE sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 17
By Jakob Ashlin
6. Ricky Seals-Jones, Washington Football Team
Rostered: 10.3%
It has been a frustrating few weeks for fantasy owners, who rostered Ricky Seals-Jones, as he has posted three straight disappointing fantasy performances. That trend reached its lowest point on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, as Seals-Jones was held to one reception for negative four yards.
To be fair, Washington’s offense, as a whole, struggled all game. Seals-Jones has produced breakout games earlier this season.
He will have an excellent matchup this week against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have given up the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. I am not giving up on Seals-Jones, yet.
5. Mo Alie-Cox, Indianapolis Colts
Rostered: 2.5%
Jack Doyle exited last Saturday’s game with knee and ankle injuries. He did not practice on Wednesday, and he is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
In Doyle’s absence on Saturday, Alie-Cox saw a slight increase in production with two receptions for 42 yards.
Mo Alie-Cox has proven himself to be a valuable tight end in fantasy football leagues when he is given an expanded role. Earlier this season, he had a stretch, in which he scored four touchdowns across four games.
If Doyle misses Sunday’s game, Alie-Cox is a high upside streaming option.
