10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 16

Tre Mason, RB, St. Louis Rams

Tre Mason has scored three rushing touchdowns all year. Over his last two games, he has carried the ball 33 times for 99 yards, 3.0 yards per carry.

Factoring out a 117-yard, 2-touchdown game against the Oakland Raiders, Mason has averaged a meager 60.0 yards and 7.0 half-PPR fantasy points in his last seven games, and no touchdowns in that span.

So why am I talking about him? Since and including Week 7, Mason has averaged 16.7 carries per game, and he is still the clear-cut number-one option in the St. Louis backfield. Since that Week 7 game, Mason has seen 150 of the Rams' 228 carries, and no other player has more than 27.

Against the Giants, who ranked 25th in rushing defense according to our metrics entering Week 15, and at home, where Mason averages 4.91 yards per carry (compared to 3.59 on the road), Mason should produce despite his recent struggles.
