4 Fantasy Football Sleepers for the Divisional Round
Sleepers? Contrarian plays? Regardless of the name you choose to refer to them by, these under-the-radar players are in a great spot to help your lineup excel this weekend.

Jared Abbrederis, WR, Green Bay Packers

With Davante Adams likely to miss Saturday's game, Jared Abbrederis will be the next man up for the Packers. Abbrederis becomes especially interesting, as the Packers opted to utilize him in the slot with Adams out last week, pushing Randall Cobb outside into Patrick Peterson territory -- though it's unknown if Peterson would shadow him or stay on one side of the field.

Green Bay may continue to get creative with Cobb to keep him away from Peterson as much as possible -- Cobb was moved around often and even utilized at running back last week. Regardless, there should be plenty of opportunities for Abbrederis to make an impact on this game. Adams' absence will free up six to eight targets, and Peterson should neutralize whoever lines up on his side of the field -- be that James Jones, Cobb or a tight end split out wide -- potentially leaving additional targets up for grabs.

With Aaron Rodgers backing him,the second-year wide receiver has plenty lining up for him and should produce a solid stat line in what is projected to be the highest scoring game of the week.
