Week 13 Sleepers!

Mitchell Trubisky: Last week, Trubisky regained the starting role for Chicago in relief of a struggling Nick Foles. In a lopsided loss to the Packers, he threw for 242 yards with 3 TDs, 2 INTs and a fumble while scoring 20 fantasy points. This weekend, the Bears will host the Lions who Trubisky had his best game of the season against in week 1. Detroit is in free fall at the moment with the firing of Matt Patricia over the weekend and they continue to give up big QB performances. Trubisky will be eager to maintain his starting job and will be able to record at least 20 fantasy points against a bad defense.

Kirk Cousins: Cousins has quietly been a solid start over the last four weeks averaging about 22 fantasy points per game over that span. This weekend, Minnesota will host Jacksonville who gives up the 3rd most fantasy points to the QB position. With Dalvin Cook being somewhat banged up, look for the Vikings to throw the ball more than they normally would. Thielen coming back to the lineup will only help Cousins and he has a chance to be a top 5 fantasy QB this week.

Devontae Booker: Booker has shown flashes of brilliance this year in weeks 9-10 carrying the ball 24 times for 149 yards and 3 TDs in those two weeks. Both of those performances came while Jacobs was starting which most likely won't be the case this week. With Jacobs trending towards sitting against the Jets, Booker has a chance to be a top RB this week. Las Vegas will look to rebound from an embarrassing 43-6 loss against Atlanta last week and everyone will be playing with a chip on their shoulder. Booker will look to run riot against one of the worst rush defenses in football.

J.K. Dobbins: Dobbins will be activated off the COVID list this week in time for the Tuesday night showdown against Dallas. The Ravens' backfield is quite possibly the most frustrating backfield in football for fantasy owners to predict. It seems like any Ravens RB can take over the bulk of the carries in any given contest. Two weeks ago, Dobbins was that man carrying the ball 15 times for 70 yards and a score. With Gus Edwards struggling this past Wednesday against Pittsburgh, Dobbins is set to handle at least 10+ carries against a bad Dallas defense. He's a risky play but might be worth the risk and is definitely the Ravens RB to start this week. 

Keke Coutee: With Fuller being suspended for the rest of the season, Randall Cobb on IR and Kenny Stills on waivers, Coutee is thrust into the WR2 role for Deshaun Watson and the Texans. Coutee only has 6 receptions all year so there isn't a big sample size for his production. However, Houston's running game has struggled all year even when David Johnson is healthy and Watson has been throwing it early and often. The Texans have to win out in order to make the playoffs and Watson is going to have to be a huge part of that. This weekend, Houston hosts the Colts in a must-win divisional matchup and Indy has been reeling defensively. If Watson throws for 250+ yards, Brandin Cooks and Coutee are going to be the main beneficiaries of that. Coutee is a flex play the rest of the season with the lack of WR depth for Houston. 

D.J. Chark: Chark is back after missing a week with a rib injury and has a mouthwatering matchup against Minnesota's young secondary. Chark has been one of the most inconsistent fantasy players this year making it tough to start him. Chris Conley is questionable and if he doesn't suit up it will give Chark's fantasy value a nice boost. If Conley can't go, Mike Glennon should pepper Chark with targets all game long giving him volume upside. If you need to make the playoffs and need a possible boom-type player, Chark could be your guy.

Corey Davis: Davis has been a nice consistent 10-15 fantasy points per week flex option this year. He's been the number 2 for Tannehill behind A.J. Brown and that hasn't wavered once. With Brown having some dropping issues in the past couple of games, Davis should be getting more looks from Tannehill in weeks to come. Going against a weak Cleveland secondary in a big game, Davis could have one of his more productive games this year. Henry won't have 180 yards like he did last week and I expect Tannehill to have a great game. Davis is a great flex option this week as his floor is around 10 points. 

Jordan Reed: Reed has been the top TE on the 49ers since Kittle has gone down with an injury. In those three weeks, he's totaled 8 catches for 83 yards which are numbers that aren't worth a fantasy start in any format. This week, however, San Francisco plays host to Buffalo who gives up the 6th most points to the position. The targets have been there for Reed and he's more than due for a touchdown. With Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel back healthy, it should take some pressure off Reed and gives him value. He's a deep sleeper but when streaming TEs this year has been so tough, Reed provides a high-risk high reward start this week.
