2. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 12: Nico Collins, Houston Texans
Rostered: 11.0%
I’m all aboard the Nico Collins hype train. After leading the Texans with ten targets in Week 10, he was tied for the team lead in receptions (5) and targets (7) last Sunday. Head coach Lovie Smith made it clear that they want to get the 23-year-old wide receiver the ball more.
“Probably as many targets as he’s had and rightfully so,” Smith said via KPRC’s Aaron Wilson. “Good football player. We need to get him the ball more.”
Kyle Allen is taking over at quarterback, but it should not hamper Collins’s fantasy value. In 2019, he averaged 255.5 passing yards per game. Davis Mills was averaging 214.4 passing yards per game this season.
1. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 12: Donovan Peoples-Jones, Cleveland Browns
Rostered: 41.8%
If you are looking for a safe bet, Peoples-Jones has an excellent resume. He has recorded at least four receptions and 50 receiving yards in seven straight games. Since Week 4, he is leading the Browns in receptions (33).
Peoples-Jones is a high-floor streaming option, as Jacoby Brissett should continue to look his way.
