NFL
6 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 12
Colin Kaepernick is being largely overlooked despite his strong fantasy production. What other under-the-radar players can help you out this week?

Brandon LaFell, WR, Cincinnati Bengals

Tyler Boyd versus Brandon LaFell as the Cincinnati Bengals wideout to own is likely going to be a hot topic this week, and while you can't go too far wrong with either one, LaFell is the more promising of the two for fantasy football.

With A.J. Green dealing with a torn hamstring and Giovani Bernard done for the season with an ACL tear, there is now a huge void in the Bengals' passing attack.

Green and Bernard had combined for 43% of the team's passing targets, leaving a ton of targets to go around as we move forward. LaFell saw a team-high 9 targets after Green went down last week and has accounted for a team-high 27% of the targets that didn't go to Green or Bernard this season, and it looks promising that he will get a healthy dose of volume every week now as we move forward.
