10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 16

Markus Wheaton, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers

Markus Wheaton has flown a bit under the radar over the past month but has quietly averaged 9.25 targets, 5.5 catches, 95 receiving yards and 0.75 touchdowns per game. While ownership and starting percentages get tougher to judge late in the season as fantasy players drop off the radar, Wheaton is only started in 7.8% of ESPN leagues at this time.

In a matchup with the Baltimore Ravens and their 20th ranked pass defense, we could see him be busy once again. The Ravens boast the sixth best rush defense, which should push Ben Roethlisberger to air the ball out a bit more than we would generally expect in a game that the Steelers are favored by 10.5 points. With an implied point total of over 28 points, there will be plenty of points to be scored. As such, Wheaton makes for a low-floor, high-ceiling play this week.
