10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 9
By Jakob Ashlin
2. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 9: Joshua Palmer, Los Angeles Chargers
Rostered: 60.6 percent
As I previously mentioned, the Chargers could be without both Mike Williams and Keenan Allen on Sunday. If Allen is ruled out, Palmer will be the Chargers’ top wide receiver. In Week 6, Palmer flashed upside in a larger role. He had nine receptions for 57 yards on 12 targets.
This Sunday, he could have astronomical value against the Falcons’ defense, which is allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers.
1. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 9: Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers
Rostered: 54.0 percent
After a couple of underwhelming performances, Doubs bounced back last week with four receptions for 62 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Doubs has played a large role for the Packers this season. In fact, he is leading the Packers in targets (49).
Doubs could be in store for a big game this Sunday against the Detroit Lions. The Lions are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Their defense is also allowing a whopping 32.1 points per game, which is the most in the NFL.
