NFL
7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 6

Taylor Gabriel, WR, Atlanta Falcons

Yahoo! Ownership: 23%

The bye week came at the right time for the Atlanta Falcons receivers. Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu both left the game with injuries in Week 4. While Jones is expected to play this Sunday, Sanu will remain sidelined as he recovers from a hamstring strain. After logging a season-high 60 snaps against the Buffalo Bills, Taylor Gabriel is in line for another heavy dose of playing time as the Falcons' number two wideout.

Gabriel has accumulated 11 targets the last two weeks, but as the receiver lining up alongside Jones in two-wideout sets, Matt Ryan may throw a few extra balls his way. He's also in line to take some of of Sanu's 6.0 targets per game.

In their matchup against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Atlanta owns the highest implied point total of the week with 30.0 points. If the Falcons are going to come close to meeting those expectations, it will likely come through the air. The Dolphins rank 2nd in the NFL against the run, per our metrics, but sit 22nd in passing yards allowed per game.
