Let’s break down 10 wide receiver sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 4.

Week 5 of the NFL season is officially underway. This week, there are plenty of interesting wide receiver options in fantasy football leagues. Some players are scheduled to face vulnerable defenses, while others could see more opportunities due to injuries.

Every player listed in our sleepers breakdown here is widely available in ESPN leagues. This week, seven players are available in more than 50 percent of leagues, and four players are available in more than 90 percent of leagues.

10. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 5: David Sills V, New York Giants

Rostered: 0.1%

The first two players on this list are Davis Sills V and Richie James.

On Sunday, the Giants will be without wide receivers Kadarius Toney, Kenny Golladay, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Sterling Shepard against the Green Bay Packers. Someone will have to catch the football in London.

This season, Sills has six receptions for 62 yards on eight targets. The former first-team All-American could see a boost in targets on Sunday. However, he will have a tough matchup against the Packers’ defense.

9. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 5: Richie James, New York Giants

Rostered: 5.2%

James is a slightly better bet than Sills. He has been more productive this season posting 15 receptions for 155 yards on 20 targets. He is a solid pickup in deeper leagues.

Nevertheless, there are better options higher on this list.
