Week 14 was a mediocre one for your loyal sleeper page. The Tennessee passing game did little and the tight ends fizzled out — Will Dissly getting hurt didn’t help. On the plus side, Adam Thielen was not a difficult pick but he came through, and Sincere McCormick was solid. Let’s see if we can build on things in Week 15.
With the fantasy playoffs here and all 32 NFL teams in play, I’ll throw out a standard caveat — I hope your team is loaded with heavily rostered players who essentially start themselves.

And Winston has a way of exceeding expectations — he’s scored more points than his fantasy projection in 5-of-6 starts. Sure, there will be some mistakes, at least one pick, a few loose throws. But the Browns will probably chuck the ball 40 or more times — they often need to junk their sluggish running game — and Winston has talented receivers to work with, even if tight end David Njoku isn’t…
