Sleeper Picks NFL Week 10
Season record: 16-20
Alvin Kamara (RB – NO): 34.5 receiving yards
Averaging 45.3 receiving yards per game this season, Alvin Kamara has been a focal point of the aerial attack with Derek Carr at quarterback. Kamara has averaged 42.8 receiving yards per game over his career but saw a dip in consecutive years with Andy Dalton at quarterback. Now armed with an upgrade under Center and multiple weapons at wideout to keep the defensive attention off him, Kamara is back to elite receiving numbers for a running back. Kamara has recorded 36 or more receiving yards in four of his last five games and has topped 33 or more in five of six games this season. He is being peppered with targets regardless of opponent and should be leaned on again in Week 10. Tap the More on Kamara for Week 10.
Pick: More
Amari Cooper (WR – CLE): 50.5 receiving yards
Amari Cooper has been rock solid for the Cleveland Browns this season, even through Deshaun Watson missing games. He is Averaging 77.1 receiving yards per game, which is all the more impressive considering he had games catching passes from the likes of Dorian Thompson-Robinson and PJ Walker. Cooper has started to heat up in recent weeks, recording 89 or more receiving yards in three of his last four games and in five of his last seven. This week, he faces off against a stingy Ravens pass defense, but gamescipt projects to force the Browns to air it out. As a route technician, Cooper will be able to uncover enough to make some plays and set at just 50.5 receiving yards; this is a play with too much value to ignore. Clap the More on Cooper for Week 10.
Pick: More
CeeDee Lamb (WR -DAL): 79.5 receiving yards
CeeDee Lamb has caught fire for the Dallas Cowboys. With 117 or more receiving yards in three straight games, CeeDee has upped his season average to 103 receiving yards per game. He has seen insane volume over his last two, averaging 15 targets a game. CeeDee has recorded 77 or more receiving yards in five of his eight contests this year and is an excellent bet to do so again this weekend. Lock in the More on CeeDee for Week 10.
Pick: More
Writers note: The lines are constantly changing on Sleeper, so there is a high probability that one or all of the numbers may no longer be the same when you open your app. There are excellent values when they are first posted, with the only catch being that they are not all released at the same time. Vigilance could provide a solid return on investment this season, literally.
