2015 NFL Week 12 Fantasy Sleepers
Brian Hoyer – Quarterback, Houston
[sc:NFL240banner ]There’s no other quarterback you should target for your fantasy team than Houston’s Brian Hoyer. He has the perfect matchup to exploit this week against a very week New Orleans passing defense. The Saints have allowed the most passing touchdowns this season (28) and have the least interceptions (four). The Saints have allowed 14 touchdown passes in the past three weeks.
T.J. Yeldon – Running Back, Jacksonville
T.J. Yeldon has rushed for two 100-yard games this season. He can add a third against a very weak San Diego rushing defense. The Chargers are allowing 125.9 yards rushing per game this season. Yeldon has been a part of a very pass-heavy offense. But he has the perfect matchup to go on big runs against San Diego. Yeldon has a pretty good 585 yards rushing on four yards per carry in his rookie campaign.
Donte Moncrief – Wide Receiver, Indianapolis
Donte Moncrief’s stock has gone up after he was one of backup quarterback Matt Hasselbeck’s top targets in Week 11. Moncrief was targeted eight times, catching five for 41 yards. Moncrief should be a nice streaming option against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which has allowed an average of 22.5 fantasy points per game to wide receivers in standard formats.
Brent Celek – Tight End, Philadelphia
Brent Celek should hog his fair share of targets assuming Zach Ertz can’t suit up again due to a concussion. Celek led the Eagles with 10 targets Sunday against Tampa Bay, catching seven for 79 yards. He also had a monster game, catching four passes for 134 yards in a Week 10 loss to Miami.
Ryan Succop – Kick, Tennessee
Ryan Succop is a nice option for those looking for a kicker in Week 12. He has the perfect matchup to exploit—the Oakland Raiders. Oakland has allowed the most fantasy points to kickers this season. They’ve allowed double digit fantasy points in each of their last three games.
Browns D/ST
The Browns are straight up a horrible defense. But they’ll be highly charged up in Week 12, welcoming AFC North rivals the Baltimore Ravens to FirstEnergy Stadium. Cleveland will face an injury-ravaged Ravens side missing quarterback Joe Flacco, wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. and running back Justin Forsett. Having so many vital cogs missing in the Baltimore offense should help Cleveland’s defense/special teams rack up plenty of fantasy points.
