7 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 16
Joe Flacco has quietly put up good numbers recently, and he draws a great matchup against the Colts. Which other under-the-radar players can you target in Week 16?

Keelan Cole, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars

There was some concern that Keelan Cole would see his volume drop off significantly when Dede Westbrook debuted for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and while Cole's workload hasn't been hugely consistent in that time, he does have at least 6 targets in three of those games. He has also been very efficient, scoring touchdowns in each of his last three. His biggest workload of the season came in Week 15, when he turned 9 targets into 7 receptions, 186 yards and a score.

Even with Allen Hurns set to return this week, there's still reason to be optimistic about Cole's workload. Marqise Lee is now out with an ankle injury, and the Jags have had at least three wide receivers see 70-plus percent of their offensive snaps in three of their last five games.

This is also a good matchup for Cole as he's taking on a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 30th against the pass, per our metrics, while allowing above-average fantasy production to opposing wideouts.
