7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 10

Nick Vannett, TE, Seattle Seahawks

Yahoo! Ownership: 4%

After Ed Dickson shined in Week 8 for the Seattle Seahawks -- compiling 54 yards and a touchdown -- Nick Vannett was an afterthought in fantasy. However, the third-year tight end surprised us all and emerged as Russell Wilson's weapon of choice in Week 9.

The former Ohio State Buckeye turned in a career-best performance with 8 targets, 6 catches, 52 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Vannett was also on the field for nearly 60% of the offensive plays as it appears he is the go-to tight end when the 'Hawks are trailing and playing catch-up like they were against the Chargers. Facing an 8-1 Los Angeles Rams team in Week 10, Seattle is expected to be trailing (they are 10.0-point underdogs), leaving Vannett to gobble up the bulk of the tight end snaps this week.

The Rams are also beatable at tight end as Benjamin Watson showed last week. Watson racked up 62 yards and a score in the Rams' first defeat of 2018. It has been a favorable spot for opposing tight ends all year, too, as L.A. has given up the sixth-most yards (592) to the position. The last time the 'Hawks and Rams played, in Week 5, Vannett held his own with 3 catches for 43 yards.
