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

Devin Funchess, WR, Carolina Panthers

Coming on in recent weeks, rookie Devin Funchess has been seeing the field more and more. Over the past four games, Funchess has seen his snap count grow from 13% in Week 8 to 79% in Week 11.

The Michigan product finally took advantage of the increased playing time in Week 11, turning his new found opportunity into 64 receiving yards and a touchdown. With Cam Newton playing the best football of his life and showing the rookie plenty of attention -- he saw eight targets in Week 11 -- look for his role to continue to expand this week.

A matchup against the Dallas Cowboys isn't the most ideal situation -- the Cowboys are 15th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. However, the opportunity and increased playing time are enough that you should consider Funchess if you find yourself with a hole at wide receiver this week.
