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?

Tyler Lockett, WR, Seattle Seahawks

There is a bit of speculation cooked into this one, but Tyler Lockett was battling a knee injury to start the season and is expected to see an increased role for the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6.

Lockett was one of the league's most efficient wide receivers in 2015 as his 1.00 Reception NEP per target ranked 3rd among the 86 receivers to see 50-plus targets. He hasn't managed anywhere near that efficiency this season, but Lockett has a good matchup this week against the Atlanta Falcons. Our metrics have Atlanta as the 23rd-ranked defense against the pass, and Lockett's potential for an increased role in such a good matchup gives him a lot of upside.
