8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 12
With Kerryon Johnson unlikely to play, Theo Riddick should see no shortage of volume on Thursday. What other players are flying under the radar?

Jeff Heuerman, TE, Denver Broncos

There's not a lot excitement about playing Jeff Heuerman, but his 16 targets in 2 games since the Denver Broncos traded Demaryius Thomas are appealing, and he also had five targets the game before that.

That gives him seven targets per game over his last three, and only four tight ends have averaged at least seven per game on the season. At a position where volume is hard to come by, Heuerman becomes very interesting.

Efficiency is certainly a concern, as he has 16 receptions and only 107 yards over his last 3 games, but volume takes priority over efficiency here.

This week's matchup also puts him in a favorable position for his efficiency to pick up a bit, as the Pittsburgh Steelers have allowed top-10 fantasy production to opposing tight ends this year.
