7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 13

Jacquizz Rodgers, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Yahoo! Ownership: 15%

When Doug Martin started the year on suspension, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leaned on Jacquizz Rodgers giving the tailback an average of 14.0 touches with Rodgers seeing at least 18 in two of the three contests. Martin looks likely to miss Week 13 with a concussion and the Bucs' soft matchup with the Green Bay Packers means those in need of a running back should be all-in on Rodgers this week.

Green Bay has been beaten up on the ground, allowing at least 90 yards rushing in 8 of 11 games so far. Opposing backs have scored 10 touchdowns against the Pack, making Green bay the eighth-friendliest team to running backs, allowing 18.9 fantasy points per game. If Rodgers and the Bucs fall behind, the veteran tailback has proven to be a strong pass-catching weapon out of the backfield as well, demonstrated by his catch percentage of 81.1% on 217 targets in his career.
