10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 3

8. NFL fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 3: Breshad Perriman, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Rostered: 3.4%
The next two players on the list are Breshad Perriman and Russell Gage. The Buccaneers wide receiver group has been decimated by injuries. Chris Godwin and Julio Jones did not participate in Thursday’s practice, and they are both listed as questionable. In addition, Mike Evans will be out due to his suspension for his altercation during the Saints’ game.
If Godwin and Jones don’t suit up, Perriman and Gage could be the top two wideouts on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
Perriman and Gage are actually dealing with injuries of their own, but they both played through them last week.
Against the Saints, Perriman had three receptions for 45 yards and a touchdown on five targets. With Evans out of the lineup, he could see a boost in targets.
However, he will face the Packers’ defense, which allowed only 48 passing yards against the Bears last week.

Last week, Gage had five receptions for 28 yards on six targets. Like Perriman, Gage could see a larger workload this Sunday.
Both Perriman and Gage are intriguing streaming options, but there are players on the list with more favorable matchups.
