8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 6
With Tom Brady under center, James White becomes a much more attractive play. Which other under-the-radar players could put up good numbers in Week 6?

Cameron Meredith, WR, Chicago Bears

With Kevin White landing on the injured reserve last week, there was a big opening at wide receiver for the Chicago Bears. Although it's just been one week, Cameron Meredith has seen the biggest boost in value. He went from playing only 38% of the Bears' offensive snaps in Week 4 to 95% in Week 5 -- more than any other wide receiver on the team (including Alshon Jeffery). He also saw a team-high 12 targets and turned them into 9 receptions for 130 yards and 1 touchdown.

That breakout came against a weak Indianapolis Colts' secondary, but he has another good matchup this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, and Chicago quarterback Brian Hoyer has been very efficient, ranking 6th in Passing NEP per drop back among the 30 quarterbacks with at least 100 drop backs on the year.
