Are you a fantasy football owner who’s a little desperate for Week 4? Check out these 10 deep sleepers who could still be available in your league.

There are plenty of reasons why an owner could still be searching for a player to plug into their starting lineup for Week 4. Maybe there’s an injury, a bad matchup, the league is deep or perhaps the team isn’t that good. Either way, there are plenty of players still available in leagues who could make a big impact in Week 4.

Here are 10 of my favorite deep sleepers for Week 4.

To be eligible as a “deep sleeper” players have to be less than 50 percent owned in ESPN leagues.

Last week, ASJ played in his first game this season after serving a two-game suspension. In his debut he tied for first on the team in both targets (6) and receptions (5). One might think his matchup against the Jaguars in Week 4 is horrible, but that’s not necessarily the case.

Jacksonville has a strong secondary who has the ability to shutdown opposing wide receivers. Due to that, opposing quarterbacks are forced to funnel their passes to their tight end. In each of the last two weeks, the Jaguars have given up a touchdown to an opposing tight end. Sure, the touchdown to Ravens tight end Ben Watson came in garbage time last week, but as fantasy owners, do we care when the touchdowns happen?

I didn’t think so.
