Week 14 Offensive Sleepers

Sigmund Bloom's Week 14 Offensive Sleepers Sigmund Bloom Published 12/08/2022

Quarterback

Jared Goff, Detroit (vs Minnesota)

Goff shouldn’t really be a sleeper at this point and is more a high-floor QB1 than a player you question starting, especially with six teams on bye and the Vikings up in an indoor game. The Vikings have allowed over 300 passing yards in six of their last seven games and multiple passing scores in five of them. Goff is back to being a reliable start with a healthy DAndre Swift, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and D.J. Chark, and first-round pick Jameson Williams is also ready for some action.

Tyler Huntley, Baltimore (at Pittsburgh)

Huntley has a high ceiling because of his running ability, but he also has a low floor in an unimaginative offense that can’t establish the run and doesn’t have any established downfield threats in the passing game. The Steelers picked off Huntley twice and allowed no passing scores and only 141 passing yards to Huntley in Week 18 last year to eke into the playoffs.

Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee (vs Jacksonville)

Derrick Henry has been running into more resistance in the last month. The offense has had to rest on Ryan Tannehill’s shoulders, and while Henry has had some success against the Jaguars in the past, they will likely sell out to take him away in this divisional matchup. Treylon Burks may not play in a hit to Tannehill’s outlook, but the quarterback can add value as a scrambler, and Jacksonville has allowed nine passing scores and at least 254 passing yards in each of their last four games.

Brock Purdy. San Francisco (vs Tampa Bay)

The 49ers probably won’t ask Purdy to throw much, but the run defense is Tampa’s strength, and San Francisco has the personnel to create mismatches in the secondary. Purdy looked very comfortable in the offense last week in relief of Jimmy Garoppolo, and he should be efficient and accurate in getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers where they can make things happen after the catch.
