2. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 13: Nico Collins, Houston Texans

Rostered: 13.7%

In Kyle Allen’s first start, Collins had six receptions for 44 yards on a team-high nine targets. He also nearly scored a touchdown, but Allen missed him on an open throw in the end zone. Over the last three weeks, Collins has been targeted 26 total times, which is tied for the 10th-most among wide receivers. During that span, he is 26th among wide receivers in fantasy points.

Collins’s expanded role gives him a high floor. With five red zone targets in his past three games, there is plenty of room to grow as well. He is a reliable FLEX option with upside.

1. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 13: Chase Claypool, Chicago Bears

Rostered: 57.9%

Darnell Mooney was placed on IR after suffering an ankle injury during last Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. This season, Mooney leads the Bears in targets (61), receptions (40), and receiving yards (493). Claypool is clearly the next wide receiver on the depth chart. Since being traded to the Bears, Claypool has been targeted 16 times, while Equanimeous St. Brown, Dante Pettis, and Byron Pringle have been targeted a combined 14 times.

In addition, Justin Fields could return to the lineup this Sunday. He was a full participant in Thursday’s practice.

Claypool is a must-start in most leagues.
