We analyze 10 wide receiver sleepers to bet for Week 17 of Fantasy Football.
Week 17 of the NFL season is here! After that, it’s championship week in many fantasy football leagues.
If you’re looking for a wide receiver for your core game, you’re in luck.
Here are 10 sleepers fantasy football managers could pick to help bring home a title.
10. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 17: Trenton Irwin, Cincinnati Bengals
Quoted: 0.2%
Irwin had two receiving touchdowns last week; he also nearly scored a third touchdown. Playing behind Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, Irwin has a long shot at repeating that performance. However, the use of the red zone was noteworthy. He’s a flyer in deeper leagues.
9. Fantasy football wide receiver sleepers for Week 17: Greg Dortch, Arizona Cardinals
Listed: 4.3%
Dortch keeps popping up randomly on the fantasy radar. He’s had a good start to the season, in which he was 19th among wide receivers in fantasy points in the first three weeks. However, he would go on to have just 23 total receiving yards in his next seven games. Surprisingly Dortch had a 103-yard game in Week 10, then failed to record a single reception until last week.
Well, Dortch didn’t just record another catch in week 16; he had 10 receptions for 98 yards on 11 targets. Notably, DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown were active. It’s worth noting that Trace McSorley is starting at quarterback and Colt McCoy is expected to take over as starter this week.
Dortch is worth a flyer in deeper formats, but comes with significant risk.
