Sleepers: 2011 Week 16
 | QB | Kyle Orton | |
| Orton is no stranger to the Oakland Raiders. He's played them twice dating back to last season and combined for over 500 passing yards, 3 TDs, and 34 rushing yards. That's an average of 17.5 fantasy points per game. He's getting his second start on his new offense and is ready to make the most of his weapons, particularly Dwayne Bowe and Steve Breaston. | |||
 | QB | Matt Moore | |
| Despite some injury concerns last week, he got through the full game and recorded another Win for the Dolphins. This week he gets rewarded with a terrific matchup against the Patriots. They allow an average of 310 yards and 1.4 TDs per week. The last 4 QBs to face the Patriots all scored at least 18 fantasy points and that list doesn't include any high end QBs (Tebow, Grossman, Orlovsky, and Vince Young). | |||
 | RB | Kahlil Bell | |
| Last week, Bell was the lone bright spot on the Bears offense. He came up with over 100 total yards and a TD, easily outshining Marion Barber. It also marked the second straight week that he recorded 5 catches. His dual threat ability will come in handy again this week vs the division rival Packers. | |||
 | RB | Jonathan Stewart | |
| The Carolina RB has seen his value hampered most of this season by DeAngelo Williams and Cam Newton. In spite of all the touches they take away from him, he has still managed to fall inside the Top 30 RBs in terms of fantasy point generation. He still holds value for the bottom of your RB rotation when the matchup is right. This week is a great example. It's Round 2 vs the Buccaneers and their league worst run defense. Stewart made good use of them in week 13, collecting 99 total yards and a TD. | |||
 | WR | Steve Breaston | |
| Breaston benefits from the QB swap that saw Tyler Palko head back to the bench in favor of Kyle Orton. In his debut game, Orton threw for 299 yards on the Packers. Breaston had 6 targets on the day, 4 catches and 50 yards, edging out Dwayne Bowe in all of those categories. This week's matchup vs Oakland is another good one and Orton has plenty of experience against them. Oakland knows they need to keep tabs on Bowe, giving Breaston some looks at the end zone. | |||
 | TE | Brent Celek | |
| Celek has only had 3 double digit fantasy games on the year and he's fresh off his best outing of the season. His second best game of the year was a 7 catch, 94 yard effort with a TD against the same Dallas team he'll square off against this week. | |||
 | TE | Dustin Keller | |
| The most important facts to know here are that the Giants secondary is very bad (they rank 27th against TE allowing 57 yards and .5 TDs per week) and Mark Sanchez doesn't exactly have a plethora of great receiving options. In fact Keller (90) has only 1 fewer targets than Santonio Holmes (91) this year and he actually has more catches. Look for him to be a favorite again this week against the in state rivals. | |||
