Demarcus Robinson vs. Detroit Lions

The next two players are a little more of a gamble but it wouldn't be surprising to see them have big games. While Cooper Kupp and Puka Nakua are going to be Stafford's top two targets, Demarcus Robinson has been a big part of the Rams offense in the final part of the regular season.

In the final five games that Robinson played with Matthew Stafford under center, he averaged 63.8 receiving yards per game and had four receiving touchdowns. There was a notable increase in the last two games with six receptions in each game and over 80 receiving yards.

Brock Wright vs. Los Angeles Rams

The final sleeper is Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright but he will only be an option if Sam LaPorta misses the game this weekend against the Rams. The rookie tight end suffered a knee injury last week and seemed unlikely to play but was optimistic on Thursday after going through a workout.

If LaPorta doesn't play, Brock Wright is one of those deep sleepers that could be a boost for DFS lineups. The Lions have leaned on LaPorta heavily this year and the Rams have allowed the fourth most points to tight ends this season.
