8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 6
Ryan Griffin, TE, Houston Texans
The Browns have been completely incapable of stopping the pass this season, checking in dead last in both Adjusted Defensive NEP and Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play.
This matchup leaves the Houston Texans, who have scored 30-plus (real-life) points in three straight games, with a hefty 28.25-point implied total.
The Browns have struggled (surprise) with tight ends, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. Ryan Griffin isn't anything special, averaging 8.2 fantasy points per game over his last three. But even Griffin's mediocre 5.0 targets per game in that span are enough to give him some real upside against this Browns defense, and with Houston expected to score so many points, his touchdown upside is pretty appealing.
