If you’re still looking for your keepers, we might have a few guys to help you out. But if you’re looking to get hot before the playoffs, well, we might also have a few guys who can help you out.
Whatever your situation might be, everyone could use a couple of solid sleepers at this point in the season and unless you’ve been living under a rock recently, a few of our picks for week 10 shouldn’t come as a surprise. Without further adieu, here are our five guys for this week:

Week 10 Sleepers
Jake Locker QB - Tennessee
Locker is only taking up a roster spot in 37-percent of leagues and he’s quietly putting together a solid season. This week he goes up against a pathetic Jacksonville squad. The reasoning pretty much explains itself – but just in case, the Jaguars have given up the fourth amount of fantasy points to the quarterback position. Pick this guy up – or if you have him, play him!
Peyton Hillis RB - New York Giants
We’ve been high on this guy ever since the Giants picked him up a few weeks back and while he hasn’t blown the doors off any fantasy teams, he’s been quite serviceable. New York uses him a lot both running and passing, and this week Hillis will attempt to bowl over an Oakland defense that made Philadelphia look more like the Broncos.
Riley Cooper WR - Philadelphia
Was last week a fluke for Cooper? Who knows. But this guy might just be quarterback Nick Foles’ favorite target. Last week, against a solid Oakland defense, Cooper had a career day, catching five passes for 139 yards and three touchdowns. This week the Eagles face a Green Bay defense struggling to get healthy, which also allows 251 passing yards per game. Cooper isn’t a lock but if you’re in a pinch and looking for a diamond in the rough, he might be your guy.
Tim Wright TE - Tampa Bay
Wright has had a quiet but decent season. Last week against Seattle, he caught four passes for 58 yards and a touchdown. You won’t get much more out of him but for a tight end; that’s really not awful. This week Tampa Bay takes on its cross state rivals, a Dolphins team that has given up the third most fantasy points to the tight end position.
Zac Stacy RB - St. Louis
Stacy exploded last week in the Rams’ loss to Tennessee, rushing for 127 yards and two touchdowns. No long a secret around the league, it might be tough to find this guy sitting on the waiver wire –but if you have him, play him. Indianapolis has given up the fourth fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, however. So proceed with caution. 10 points seems likely.
