DFS: Mystery Men - Week 5's Top Sleepers

For every Allen Hurns there is bound to be a Ryan Mathews. Hurns was electric against the Colts while Mathews, and the Eagles, continued to stumble.

This week we're looking at some scuffling talent that could be poised to break out in a big way. Prices have dropped enough where they are bargains and worth looking at in order to splurge elsewhere.

QB: Jameis Winston, Buccaneers (vs. Jaguars)

Winston is by no means a sure thing. He is coming off his worst game yet, and things look bleak in Tampa. Take away the interceptions, and things look a bit better; still, he's merely a DFS cost-saving measure.

Healthy Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson should provide him with some dependability, though. The Jaguars are an easier matchup than the Panthers, so Winston's numbers will likely improve.

RB: Matt Jones, Redskins (at Falcons)

If there was ever a matchup for Jones to repeat his wonderful Week 2, it's against the Falcons. Atlanta has been destroyed by opposing running backs. The problem is that Jones is in a time share with Alfred Morris:

This is a make or break week for Jones and Washington's running game. If neither he nor Morris become the bell cow, both should be faded regularly.

WR: Nelson Agholor, Eagles (vs. Saints)

The rookie has been a non-factor. He made strides last week, and as the Eagles struggle on offense changes need to be afoot. That means Agholor's usage is going to improve. If it doesn't, the Eagles will continue to lose.

Agholor is too talented to be ignored much longer - he made a spectacular one-handed catch against Washington for 45 yards. Sam Bradford will look to get him the ball against a mediocre Saints defense. He's good enough to double his entire season's output in a single game.

TE: Larry Donnell, Giants (vs. 49ers)

Donnell has been the very definition of 'meh.' The good news is he reached season highs in both receptions and yards last week against Buffalo. The bad news is it only took five catches and 38 yards for the distinction.

Donnell is a low ceiling-moderate floor player. He won't lay up goose eggs, but he'll only rarely break out. He has sure hands, and if Eli Manning's beaten up receiving corps needs a reprieve, Donnell will get his shots.
