Welcome to Sleeper Picks. Sleeper’s newest offering promised plenty of entertainment and action, and they delivered. We will break down our top three picks for this week’s NFL action. Sleeper is quickly becoming one of the most popular season-long fantasy platforms, and they are expanding into other areas based on demand. Each week in this space, we’ll talk about some strategy for the new platform while providing our favorite NFL more/less picks.
Sleeper Picks NFL Week 14
2024 Season record: 26-13
Brock Bowers (TE – LV): 39.5 receiving yards
Brock Bowers has arguably been the best receiving tight end in the league this season, but anyone who watched him at Georgia knows he still has more untapped potential that the Raiders will simply be unable to let loose as currently constructed. Bowers leads the NFL in receptions and receiving yards for the tight end position. He has been set at 68.5 total for this weekend due to his recent outbursts, but that is a strong fade number. The Less is nonsensical, given how well we know he can produce, but the alt lines still offer some appeal on the More. Much like last week, the 49.5 has a significantly lower probability than the 39.5, even if Bowers’ projection is higher than both of those numbers. Bowers has recorded 40 or more receiving yards in 10 of his 12 contests this season. Bump the More on Brock for Week 14 at Sleeper Picks.
Pick: More
Jerry Jeudy (WR – CLE): 65.5 receiving yards
The Jerry Jeudy revenge game was a sight to behold. By now, we all know that he set the revenge game record for the most receiving yards ever against his former team and that Jeudy has become one of the premier wide receivers in the league now that he finally has competent quarterback play. Jeudy has recorded 73 or more receiving yards in each of his last five games, a stretch in which he has averaged an elite 122.8 receiving yards per game. The alt line has more appeal here, but the probability remains high enough on the full total to work with it for Week 14. Jerry recorded 85 receiving yards against the Steelers just two weeks ago. Jab the More on Jerry ‘no longer just a guy’ Jeudy for Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pick: More
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (WR – TEN): 33.5 receiving yards
Westbrook-Ikhine has been displaying an excellent rapport with maligned quarterback Will Levis and has looked like his top target over the last few weeks. He has averaged 6.3 targets per game, parlaying the volume into 75.33 receiving yards per game. NWI hasn’t been very efficient with his volume but sees enough air yards to hit this number with just one of two receptions. Hit the More on Westbrook-Ikhine for Week 14 at Sleeper Picks.
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.
