10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 3
By Jakob Ashlin
6. NFL fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 3: Jahan Dotson, Washington Commanders
Rostered: 65.7%
Dotson has scored three touchdowns in two games. Can he keep the streak going this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles?
It is certainly possible. He is currently leading the Commanders in targets inside the 10-yard line, and the Commanders’ offense has scored a whopping 55 points through two games.
Dotson is not just touchdown-dependent, though. He had four receptions for 59 yards last Sunday.
Playing from behind gave the Commanders’ passing offense a fantasy boost against the Detroit Lions, and that pattern should continue this week against the Eagles, who are off to a strong 2-0 start.
5. NFL fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 3: Nico Collins, Houston Texans
Rostered: 15.0%
Collins is the clear second wide receiver in Houston’s offense behind Brandin Cooks. Last week, Davis Mills targeted Collins nine times, and he had four receptions for 58 yards against a tough Broncos’ secondary.
Collins has all the physical tools to be an elite wide receiver. He stands at 6-foot-4 and ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at his Pro Day.
He is poised to have a breakout game soon.
