10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 10
By Jakob Ashlin
8. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 10: Samori Toure, Green Bay Packers
Rostered: 0.4%
Injuries continue to plague the Packers’ wide receiver room. Last Sunday, Romeo Doubs was carted off the field during the first quarter. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, he could miss 4-6 weeks. Veteran Randall Cobb remains on the injured reserve with an ankle injury. Allen Lazard is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury. He has been a limited participant in practice this week.
Someone will have to catch the football in Green Bay. Toure has been targeted four times in each of his last two games. With Doubs out, he should take on a larger role. If Lazard does not suit up, Toure is worth a flier in deeper leagues.
7. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 10: Sammy Watkins, Green Bay Packers
Rostered: 3.3%
As I previously stated, someone has to catch the football in Green Bay. Last week, Watkins logged 60 offensive snaps, which was the second-most among the Packers’ wide receivers trailing only Allen Lazard. Watkins is actually dealing with a knee injury, but he was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice. If he is active, there is a chance that he could be the Packers’ top receiver on Sunday.
