7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 13

Seth Roberts, WR, Oakland Raiders

The suspension of Michael Crabtree and multiple injuries to Amari Cooper have left the Oakland Raiders' receiving corp short-handed, possibly moving Seth Roberts into a prominent role against a subpar defense in Week 13.

Roberts is fourth on the team in targets, behind Cooper, Crabtree, and tight end Jared Cook. When Crabtree missed Week 4 with an injury, Roberts posted a season-high 4 catches for 49 yards. That was against a Denver Broncos defense that allows the fourth-fewest passing yards (201.9 yards per game) and fantasy points to opposing wideouts (17.0). The New York Giants, the Raiders' opponent on Sunday, are on the opposite side of the spectrum, surrendering the fourth-most passing yards (258.2) and touchdowns (2.0) per game. Their top cornerback, Janoris Jenkins, was placed on injured reserve this week, further weakening their secondary.
