Final week was simply disgusting for my Sleepers & Duds as the one nice hits had been the dud requires Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor and Tyler Warren.
The remainder of the picks had been an absolute mess, however not less than it’s a brand new week.
Protecting the intro brief this week so we will get into the Week 13 performs!
QB Sleepers
C.J. Stroud, Houston
Stroud is coming off of an damage and the offense was simply doing sufficient with Davis Mills beneath heart. However the Texans want their most proficient QB taking part in to get into the AFC Convention playoffs.
Houston at present sits 7th within the AFC playoff standings behind the sturdy play of its protection, however Stroud give the offense a bit extra passing energy.
Stroud was averaging 263.7 passing yards in his final three full video games performed, whereas Mills solely averaged 239.7 passing yards of their three-game successful streak.
The Colts are a backside 5 group in cross protection this season, giving up 245.4 yards a sport. They usually simply gave up 346 passing yards to Kansas Metropolis’s Patrick Mahomes final week.
QB Duds
Matthew Stafford, LA Rams
Stafford is likely one of the names that retains popping up in NFL MVP talks for this season, however he might discover the street robust in Charlotte towards Carolina.
The Panthers enter the sport because the 8th finest protection towards QB scoring this season and quit 211.2 passing yards a sport this season.
And Stafford has continued to throw touchdowns in street video games this yr with 14 of his 30 in street contest, however his passing numbers slip. He averages 282.2 passing yards at dwelling in comparison with 227.4 passing yards in street video games.
RB Sleepers
Kenneth Gainwell, Pittsburgh
I feel each Jaylen Warren and Gainwell are good performs this week as Buffalo provides up 148.9 speeding yards a sport this season.
I’ll lean to Gainwell as a result of he will likely be on the sector within the 2-minute offense and if the Steelers are trailing (the Payments are 3-point favorites), Gainwell will likely be on the sector in that scenario.
And Gainwell has been the recent RB within the offense the final two weeks. He’s averaged 23.9 factors the final 2 weeks.
WR Sleepers
John Metchie III, NY Jets
Metchie III has taken over the WR No. 1 function for the Jets with Garrett Wilson nonetheless out with a knee damage.
In Wilson’s absence, Metchie III is averaging 84 snap share over the past two video games.
Throughout that point he’s averaged 16 fantasy factors and now faces an Atlanta cross protection that has struggled the final three video games.
The Falcons have given up 276.3 passing yards a sport of their final three.
WR Duds
Davante Adams, LA Rams
Adams has been a scoring machine this season, however he has scored a landing (12) on 25 % of his receptions (48) this season.
Can he proceed to maintain this price? In all probability not.
And identical to I point out beneath Stafford’s write-up, the Carolina has restricted opponents’ passing video games this season and have solely allowed 7 receiving TDs.
TE Sleepers
Gunnar Helm, Tennessee
If Chig Okonkwo misses this sport, Helm turns into an amazing play and has an actual probability of the TE1-tier end this week.
Jacksonville is Prime 5 in receptions allowed, yards allowed and TDs allowed to TEs this season. They usually hand over 10.8 fantasy factors to the place as properly.
Plus, Helm was taking part in virtually many snaps for the Titans as Okowkwo the final two weeks. Helms has performed simply two much less snap than his veteran counterpart.
TE Duds
Pittsburgh TEs
The Steelers passing sport has revolved round TEs this season because it’s been a guessing sport attempting to choose who to begin between Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith.
Now that alternative turns into simpler – the Buffalo protection has fully shut down TEs this season.
The Payments solely hand over 3.3 fantasy factors a sport this season towards the place.
