10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 16

Let’s break down 10 wide receiver sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 16.

Week 16 of the NFL season will take place on a differentiated schedule. 11 games will take place on Saturday, and there will be three games on Sunday.

Let’s take a look at 10 wide receivers to target in fantasy football leagues. All players listed are widely available in ESPN leagues. Nine of the players on this week’s list are available in at least 50 percent of leagues.

10. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 16: Tutu Atwell, Los Angeles Rams

Rostered: 3.1%

Last week, Atwell mustered only one reception for 10 yards on four targets. It was not an encouraging performance, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to trust any Rams’ wide receiver in your fantasy lineup.

With Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson II, and Ben Skowronek out, Atwell still has upside. Since Week 13, he is leading the Rams in targets (18).

Atwell is set to have a difficult matchup against the Denver Broncos, who have one of the stronger secondaries in the league. Due to his role, he is worth a flier in deeper leagues.

9. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 16: Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers

Rostered: 14.6%

Last week, Doubs returned to action after a four-game absence. He led the Packers in receptions (five) and receiving yards (55).

Earlier this season, Doubs showed potential as a fantasy option. He posted 13+ fantasy points in three individual games. However, circumstances have changed. Christian Watson has broken out as the team’s top wideout, and Randall Cobb has returned from the IR.

Nevertheless, Doubs’ performance on Monday night proved that he should not be written off. He is an interesting flier, especially in deeper formats.
