The fantasy football week is drawing to a close and with the NFL schedule still having one game on it, fantasy owners are looking for some of the best sleepers, free agent waiver options and pickups includes Jordan Reed, James Starks, Rueben Randle, Andy Dalton and Jarrett Boykin.
The Packers had another nice game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night football and two players that featured prominently in the game includes both James Starks and Jarrett Boykin. Starks was back in the lineup for the first time in a month and he made his presence felt, giving the Packers another solid running option for their top 10 ranked unit this season and it comes after he previously rushed for 100 yards in a game this season. Starks broke that stream for the Packers and after getting injured back in September for the game against the Bengals, he was back in the lineup on Sunday night and made the most of it.
Starks had just seven carries, but he finished the day with 57 yards and a touchdown and he also looked impressive on a 25-yard run while averaging over eight yards per carry. This comes after his 132 yards performance and now with Eddie Lacy and Jonathan Franklin, the Packers clearly have one of the best stables of backs and with that depth, the offense should continue churning along all season, especially with Aaron Rodgers leading the way. Starks now has over 240 yards this season with two touchdowns and he could be a solid sleeper the rest if the season.
Jarrett Boykin has continued to be a great option for the Packers since losing both James Jones and Randall Cobb and on Sunday he had another five catches and 89 yards in the win over the Vikings. Boykin has stepped up nicely and he now has 16 targets over the past two weeks along with 13 catches and since starting up the past two weeks, he has nearly 200 yards receiving for 235 this season. Boykin has come on strong with the receivers down and now the Packers have won every game since those injuries and are starting to build some momentum in the NFC north.
Jordan Reed has been a solid tight end option over the past four weeks and he has done it again with his game against the Denver Broncos. Reed is now a prime option for Robert Griffin, making eight catches on 14 targets for 90 yards in the loss to Denver on Sunday and now he has 23 targets over the past two weeks. Reed had 134 yards last week and he hasn't had less than 50 yards in each of the past four games. The team has lost four of five games, but Reed has been very consistent and now he looks like a solid sleeper option the rest of the season.
Rueben Randle had zero catches on the day against the Eagles, but he should be a solid sleeper going forward the rest of the way. Andy Dalton had five touchdown passes and he should be considered a prime QB sleeper.
