10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 17
Brian Hoyer returns from injury this week just in time for a great Week 17 matchup. What other under-the-radar players look good this week?

Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions

I'm not sure if Matthew Stafford still qualifies as a sleeper after his minor resurgence of late, but he still isn't universally owned and is in a great spot this week. Stafford has averaged 2.8 touchdown passes per game over the previous five weeks and will now get to take on a Chicago Bears team that is 24th in our Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP metric.

Over the previous three weeks this Bears defense has allowed an average of 24.35 standard fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. With Stafford flourishing under new Offensive Coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, expect much of the same this week in Chicago.
