10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 8
By Jakob Ashlin
4. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 8: Mack Hollins, Las Vegas Raiders
Rostered: 6.7%
In Week 3, Hollins erupted for 29.96 fantasy points against the Tennessee Titans. He had eight receptions for 158 yards and a touchdown. Since then, Hollins has cooled off posting 18.7 total fantasy points over his last three games.
However, Davante Adams is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints due to an illness. Adams did not participate in practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Fantasy owners should monitor Adams’s status. If he does not play, Hollins has plenty of upside as the top receiver against the Saints, who are giving up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.
3. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 8: Wan’Dale Robinson, New York Giants
Rostered: 31.4%
Since returning to the lineup in Week 6, Robinson has been the number one wide receiver for the Giants. In Week 6, he had three receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown. Last week, he built on that momentum with six receptions for 50 yards on a team-high eight targets.
The second-round pick should continue to play a significant role in the Giants’ offense moving forward.
