Fantasy Football 2017: 10 Deep sleepers for Week 10
By Dan Thomas
6. Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (24.4 percent owned)
You want to get crazy? Then let’s get crazy. Fitzpatrick will step in for the injured Jameis Winston and he will be without the team’s top wide receiver, Mike Evans. Yet, the Jets haven’t been good in passing defense this season. They have given up multiple touchdown passes to guys like Kevin Hogan and Matt Moore this season so do I think Fitzpatrick can do the same? Yes, I do.
5. Deonte Thompson, WR, Buffalo Bills (1.9 percent owned)

In two out of his last three games, Thompson has four-or-more receptions and 81+ receiving yards. In fact, since Week 7, he’s been the 18th-best PPR wide receiver. I know it’s a small sample size but remember, he didn’t sign with the Buffalo Bills until about a month ago. Kelvin Benjamin could see a lot of Marshon Lattimore and if that happens, Thompson could see a lot of targets coming his way.
4. Marquise Goodwin, WR, San Francisco 49ers (10.1 percent owned)
Goodwin is the team’s No. 1 wide receiver with Pierre Garcon done for the season and the team will also be without wide receiver Trent Taylor this week. The 4.27 speedster always has a realistic chance of getting behind an opponent’s secondary and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him do it on Sunday against a team who looks like they have given up on their season and head coach.
