For some, this week marks the beginning of the fantasy football postseason. Get ahead of your competition with these wideout sleepers in Week 15.
Your fantasy football matchups just got ten times as important this week, as the fantasy postseason begins for some leagues. Making the right starts is crucial to winning these big games.
This week, there are wide receiver sleepers that have the upside to outperform their ranking. Let’s get into it.
10 wide receiver sleepers for fantasy football Week 15
10. Rashod Bateman, Baltimore Ravens
Rashod Bateman posted a monster seven catch, 103 yard game this past week against Cleveland, and with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley playing the majority of the game. Granted, he did get extra volume due to Sammy Watkins exiting the game with an injury.
Bateman’s volume this year has been steady, as he’s averaging a decent 5.9 targets per game. With a tough matchup on tap this week with Green Bay, Bateman will likely be leaned on again in the passing game and return WR3 numbers.
9. Cole Beasley, Buffalo Bills
As expected, Cole Beasley took it to the leaky Buccaneers secondary last week, catching 9-of-11 targets for 64 yards in a thrilling overtime loss. He’s been one of the highest floor Bills receivers this season as he’s nearing the century mark in targets.
Beasley and the Bills take on the Carolina Panthers, who do have a stingy secondary, but also have allowed huge games to Brandin Cooks, Adam Thielen, and Jaylen Waddle, among other receivers. Beasley’s skillset will be needed again this week and he should reach his 7.2 target per game average yet again.
