Sleeper Picks NFL Week 14
Season record: 28-24
Odell Beckham Jr. (WR – BAL): 34.5 receiving yards
OBJ disappointed in Week 13, recording just 34 receiving yards a week after posting 100+ receiving yard for the first time since the 2021 Conference Championship. Still, OBJ has been set at a low enough number for there to be some immediate value. OBJ has recorded 40 or more receiving yards in three of his last four games and has seen a two game season-high average of six targets per game. He should continue to be a focal point of the passing attack this week and should continue to lead the team in air yards. The Rams have been solid against the pass this season, but if Beckham continues to see the 22.6 percent target share that he has seen since Mark Andrews went down, 35 yards could come on one reception. This is a running back or tight end level total. Hit the More on OBJ for Week 14.
Pick: More
Alvin Kamara (RB – NO): 34.5 receiving yards
Kamara continues to shine as a receiver for the New Orleans Saints, averaging 6.7 receptions for 45.9 receiving yards per game. The receptions are a new career high and are a function of Derek Carr‘s affinity for such a reliable checkdown target. Kamara has recorded 36 or more receiving yards in six of his last seven and 44 or more in five of them. This is an easy More play. Tap the More on Kamara for Week 14.
Pick: More
Chris Olave (WR – NO): 68.5 receiving yards
Olave has been excellent for the New Orleans Saints this season, averaging 5.7 receptions for 74.2 receiving yards per game. He is well on his way to another 1,000 receiving yard season and will set new career highs in every statistical category. This weekend, he will face off against a Carolina Panthers team that he recorded 86 receiving yards against back in Week 2. Olave has recorded 94 or more receiving yards in three straight games and should be able to top 68 yards receiving regardless of who lined up under Center for the Saints in Week 14. Clap the More on Olave for this weekend’s matchup against the Panthers.
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.
