8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 13

Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, New York Jets

When a quarterback is playing as poorly as Ryan Fitzpatrick, they will go mostly unnoticed in fantasy. His 0.00 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back rank 30th among the 35 quarterbacks with at least 150 drop backs. He's not a guy you'd want to see at the helm for your favorite NFL team, but from a fantasy football standpoint, he can still offer solid production if you're hurting at quarterback.

His numbers haven't been particularly good, but with 250-plus yards in four games this season, it has been his low touchdown numbers hurting his fantasy production. With the heavy variance that goes into touchdown numbers, there's a good chance he bounces back from that.

Fitzpatrick has thrown only eight touchdowns on 46 red zone pass attempts this season -- for a 17% red zone touchdown rate. If we look at his past two seasons, he turned in a combined 35 touchdowns on 116 red zone pass attempts for a 30% rate. If he were producing at that clip this season, it would give him a boost of 0.58 touchdowns per game.

He also draws a good matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, who rank 30th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play and have allowed the league's second-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season, making this a prime spot for a bounce back.
