6. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 17: DJ Chark, Detroit Lions

Rostered: 31.5%

Chark is thriving in Detroit’s offense. The former 1,000-yard receiver is one of the most impactful deep threats in the league. His 17.3 yards per reception is the fifth-highest mark in the NFL (minimum 25 receptions).

Chark has topped 90 receiving yards in three out of his last four games. He will continue to be a boom-or-bust FLEX option down the stretch.

5. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 17: Chase Claypool, Chicago Bears

Rostered: 48.7%

With Darnell Mooney sidelined, Claypool is the clear No. 1 wide receiver in Chicago, but he has missed the last two games with a knee injury. Claypool is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. If he plays, he has immense upside.

He has a clear path to targets, and he has a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions, who have given up the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season.
