7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 16

Tim Patrick, WR, Denver Broncos

Yahoo! Ownership: 6%

While Gallup is an explosive, high-ceiling option in Week 16, Tim Patrick brings a stable, high-floor with him to your wide receiver crew.

Since the Denver Broncos lost Emmanuel Sanders to injury two weeks ago, Patrick has stepped up as Case Keenum's favorite target. He has collected 18 targets for 12 catches and 150 yards in the last 2 games. The barely-owned wide receiver ranks as a WR2 (top-24) in the previous two weeks, and it does not appear anything will change in a tasty matchup against the Oakland Raiders for Monday night.

The Raiders don’t see the amount of volume we would like -- the only team averaging fewer than 30 pass attempts against them per game. However, when teams do pass against them, they find great success. Oakland allows the most passing touchdowns (32) and second-most to wide receivers (20). With the game not expected to be a rout -- Denver is a 3.5-point favorite -- Patrick will get plenty of action with a good shot of scoring the second touchdown of his career.
