Sleepers

Weekly disclaimer:
Want our week 17 picks? Go check them out. The whole concept of a sleeper in one week fantasy football games needs to be adjusted. First of all, there's no real such thing as a "sleeper," in that you're not really going to sleep on a guy until he wakes up. What you're looking at with cheap plays are guys who are priced very reasonably who could go off if all things break right. Sniffing out the best cheap plays with upside is really the only way to have a chance in hell at taking down some of these utterly massive NFL tournaments. You'll pay up for the big names, and then hope your bargain plays pay off. That's where we come in - here are some sleepers that we love for Week 17.

On to the picks

Branden Oliver - FD 5300 DK 3500 DD 6800 DFSTR
With Mathews definitely out for week 17, there's some chance we see the Oliver we saw when he was the feature runner mid-season. The Chiefs are incredibly stingy against the pass, so it stands to reason that Oliver could be in line for quite a game.

Jacquizz Rodgers - FD 4500 DK 3600 DD 6950 DFSTR 3000
Devonta Freeman - FD 5100 DK 3600 DD 7350 DFSTR
It looks like Rodgers is going to get the bulk of the work at this point, but you can believe that the Falcons are going to try and keep Cam and the Panthers off the field as best as they can. While the offensive line has been a huge issue all season, these prices are so low that it pretty much doesn't matter. For now I'm leaning toward Rodgers, but I'll keep my ears open for any news as we get closer to kick off.

Doug Martin - FD 5200 DK 3300 DD 8000 DFSTR
Make no mistake, Doug Martin is absolutely horrible. But! New Orleans has allowed the 4th most rushing yards this year, and Martin is still "the guy" in Tampa. Having been eliminated from the playoffs, I suspect the Saints will show up deflated, and Martin will try and put together one last decent game before he has to earn another contract next year.

Chase Daniel - FD 5000 DK 5000 DD 7500 DFSTR Man, $5,000 FanDuel QBs have put together quite a run this season. But will Daniel follow in the shoes of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Derek Anderson? I'm thinking "No." The Chiefs are still theoretically in the playoff hunt, and one has to think if they thought anything of Daniel's ability we would have heard rumblings at one point or another. Still, though, as we've said many times before, a $5,000 QB basically just needs to show up to make this price work... and I'm sure I'll get sucked into a few GPP lineups where I am doomed to see Chase Daniel's name at the top.

Matt Asiata - FD 6400 DK 5000 DD 10150 DFSTR
Jonathan Stewart - FD 6600 DK 5700 DD 9100 DFSTR
Neither of these guys is a "sleeper" per se, but both have great match-ups this week, and are very affordably priced. If you're looking for a RB in the mid-tier, look no further.

Danny Amendola - FD 4800 DK 4200 DD 6450 DFSTR
With the Pats playing for nothing, it stands to reason that Edelman and Gronk won't be out there very much. If that's the case, Amendola becomes the de-facto #1 at $4,800.
