This weekly feature will take a look at some sleepers at each position who could help fantasy teams win their weekly matchup. To determine the sleepers, I will be using the fantasy points allowed at each position statistics, courtesy of AsktheCommish.com.
For week 14, I will use the fantasy points allowed this season, so we are getting a good idea as to which team defenses are allowing the most fantasy points at each position.
Sleeper Performance: Week 13
Quarterback:
Matthew Stafford, Lions vs Bears - 34-45, 390 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT
Running Back:
Tre Mason, Rams vs Raiders- 14 rushes, 117 yards, 2 TDs, 3 receptions, 47 yards, 1 TD
Wide Receiver:
Keenan Allen, Chargers vs Ravens - 11 receptions, 121 yards, 2 TDs
Tight End:
Charles Clay, Dolphins vs Jets - Inactive on Monday Night Football
Fantasy Points Allowed: Year to Date
Below you will find a table (courtesy of Ask the Commish) that lists, by team defense, the fantasy points each team defense has allowed to opposing quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends.
I have selected my sleeper picks based on the fantasy points allowed through week 13, assuming the trend (allowing more fantasy points) continues.

Week 14 Sleepers
Quarterback
Russell Wilson, Seahawks vs Eagles
The Eagles defense ranks 30th in fantasy points allowed to opposing QBs this season, so Wilson should provide his owners with a solid effort in Week 14. He is coming off a good game vs the 49ers on Thanksgiving night, throwing for 236 yards, rushing for 35 yards and a touchdown pass.
Running Back
Bishop Sankey, Titans vs Giants
The Giants season is over and their defense ranks 28th in fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this season. Sankey was limited to just 42 yards on 10 carries in Week 13, as the Titans were playing catchup vs Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Texans in their 45-21 loss. He should see more touches in Week 14.
Wide Receiver
Mike Wallace, Dolphins vs Ravens
The Ravens defense ranks 31st in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers and faces the Dolphins on the road in Week 14. Wallace hasn't had a 100 yard game yet this season, but has reached pay dirt 7 times, so he is a favorite of QB Ryan Tannehill's in passing situations in the red zone.
Tight End
Delanie Walker, Titans vs Giants
