DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick, WR, Denver Broncos

DaeSean Hamilton Yahoo Ownership: 7%

Tim Patrick Yahoo Ownership: 0%

Courtland Sutton was expected to be the main beneficiary of Emmanuel Sanders' season-ending Achilles injury, but Sutton likely killed many a fantasy dream this past weekend, turning 6 targets into just 2 receptions for 14 yards. Ouch.

Instead, it was DaeSean Hamilton and Tim Patrick who stepped up, with Hamilton drawing 9 targets for 7 catches, 47 yards and a score, while Patrick grabbed 7-of-10 targets for 85 yards.

It's tough to trust either one in a playoff matchup following a one-game sample size -- and it's not like Sutton is going anywhere, either -- and the Browns don't necessarily make for a plus matchup as numberFire's number-two passing defense entering Week 14.

But that kind of volume can't be ignored if you're in a bind, particularly in PPR formats. Hamilton figures to be the safer choice as the higher-regarded prospect with the slot receiver role, but both deserve a look as a potential FLEX.
