2. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 17: Jahan Dotson, Washington Commanders

Rostered: 40.9%

Over his last three games, Dotson is averaging 18.8 fantasy points per game, which is the 11th-most among wide receivers during that span.

Early in the season, the rookie was breaking out as an excellent fantasy option. He had four receiving touchdowns in his first four games. Unfortunately, he suffered a hamstring injury and was sidelined for five games. Upon his return, he played a smaller role for a few games before breaking out, once again, in Week 13.

Considering his recent run, Dotson is an excellent streaming option.

Rostered: 46.5%

Slayton continues to quietly be one of the most consistent wide receivers in fantasy football leagues. He has recorded double-digit fantasy points in seven out of his last 11 games. Last week, he had another solid game with four receptions for 79 yards on six targets.

Since making his season debut in Week 2, he is leading the Giants in targets (68) and receiving yards (710). He is a safe bet to continue receiving targets in the Giants’ offense. If you are looking for a high-floor receiver, Slayton is your guy.
