Similar to how the landscape has looked for tight ends over the past few weeks, we once again find a very barren wasteland staring back at us as we search for sleeper potential. One player that is in a great spot this week though, is Eric Ebron. And while I struggle to put much confidence behind his talent, the opportunity is ripe.

We've seen Ebron, despite some early-season success, struggle through much of the second half of the season. Facing off against a New Orleans Saints team that has allowed the most fantasy points to the tight end position all season, he should have an opportunity to redeem himself this week.

The Saints have allowed almost a full fantasy point more per game to opposing teams than any other team. With New Orleans favored in this game, we're likely to see Detroit have to take to the air at some point in this game, which should bode well for Ebron.
