10 Sleeper Starts & Duds: Week 14 (Fantasy Football) | FantasyPros

Who is a player outside of our top 100 flex rankings that is a deep sleeper start and why do you think he has upside this week?Rashaad Penny (RB – SEA)  Seattle faces a Houston defense that’s yielded more rushing attempts and rushing yardage than any other team in the league and is giving up 22.1 fantasy points per game (0.5 PPR) to running backs.” Since Week 7, Cobb is fifth among wide receivers with 3.8 expected touchdowns (OTDs) based on the air yards and the proximity to the end zone of his targets and is tied for first with 10 targets within five yards of the end zone. It’s hard to find a better matchup right now for opposing WRs than Atlanta, which means that Anderson is worth considering as a deep sleeper start this week. On the flip side, what player inside the top 40 flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?Saquon Barkley (RB – NYG) Well, L.A. ranks just 15th in PPR points per game allowed to RBs over the past five weeks, despite tying for the fourth most rushing TDs yielded over that span. Barkley faces a Chargers run defense that’s been mediocre for most of the season, but the Chargers held Joe Mixon to 2.8 yards per carry last week.” Every player within the top-40 of flex rankings is a must-start option, but when you’re looking for a player who could disappoint, it’s pretty easy to point to a player who actually HAS disappointed in four of his last five weeks.”
