7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 16

Geronimo Allison, WR, Green Bay Packers

Yahoo! Ownership: 1%

In a reoccurring theme this week, Geronimo Allison is in position for a significant bump in playing time due to an injury. Green Bay Packers wide receiver -- and the favorite target of quarterback Brett Hundley -- Davante Adams will not play in Week 16 due to a concussion. His absence opens up plays outside for Allison, who is expected to start alongside Jordy Nelson versus the Minnesota Vikings. When filling in for Adams in the second half last week, Allison was productive, pulling in 5-of-8 targets for 33 yards against the Carolina Panthers. While the matchup will be tougher in Week 16 against the Vikings, the 23-year-old Allison has shown he can produce when called to fill in.

In Week 3, Allison was on the field for 72% of the snaps with Randall Cobb out of action due to injury. All he did was catch a career high 6 passes for 122 yards. The last time the Packers faced the Vikings, Adams and Nelson each reeled in at least 5 passes for 54 or more yards, and Adams reached the end zone with Hundley under center.
