Let’s break down 10 wide receiver sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 12.

Week 12 of the NFL season is officially underway. There were three games on Thanksgiving Day, and several players have already made big impacts in fantasy football leagues. Justin Jefferson continued his elite play with nine receptions for 139 yards and a touchdown, while Amon-Ra St. Brown had nine receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown. However, there is still plenty of football left to play. No NFL team has a bye week scheduled, so there are still 13 games remaining this week.

If you are looking for a sleeper, here are ten options. Every player listed is widely available in ESPN leagues.

10. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 12: Corey Davis, New York Jets

Rostered: 7.8%

After missing the last three games with a knee injury, Davis was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice. Prior to the injury, Davis was off to a solid start this season. Through the first six weeks, he was averaging 11.0 fantasy points per game. Despite missing time, he is still second on the Jets in receiving yards this season.

The Jets are starting quarterback Mike White over Zach Wilson this week. In White’s last start, Davis had a team-high five receptions for 93 yards.

9. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 12: Jarvis Landry, New Orleans Saints

Rostered: 31.2%

Since his Week 10 return, Landry is second among the Saints’ wide receivers in targets. Last week, he had three receptions for 33 yards and a touchdown.

He is worth a flier in Week 12, even with the Saints facing a stout 49ers defense due to his role in the offense upon returning to the field and the ongoing injury issues with New Orleans pass-catchers.
