10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 12
Brian Hoyer is back from injury and facing a generous New Orleans Saints secondary.

Danny Woodhead, RB, San Diego Chargers

An early season fantasy darling, Danny Woodhead's shine has started to come off recently. His increasingly inconsistent production culminated in last week's disappointing 16-total yard performance against Kansas City.

In a matchup that appears rough on paper -- he will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars' rush defense that ranks 10th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play -- Woodhead could actually be set for a nice game.

While the Jaguars have been extremely tough against the run -- they are allowing a league leading 3.4 yards per carry this season -- they have allowed five separate running backs to record at least five receptions in a game. As four-point underdogs, the Chargers should look to air the ball out plenty again this week. This potential game script should lead to plenty of opportunity for the diminutive passing-downs back.
