The sleeper page has been dormant in Week 15, although it made sense to move Chris Rodriguez Jr. to Ja’Corey Krosky-Merritt on Sunday after Rodriguez was officially scratched. We’re already in week 16. Let’s see what gems we can unearth.
Seahawks TE Colby Parkinson (28%)
Just because it’s obvious doesn’t mean it can’t be true. Parkinson, who has six touchdowns in six weeks, meshes well with MVP favorite Matthew Stafford. Davante Adams is unlikely to play Thursday, so there could be more goal-line opportunities.

Running back Michael Carter vs. Falcons (32%)
He’s Arizona’s fourth or fifth back at the moment, but he’s also the last healthy one. Opportunity is a big part of the running back game, and Arizona’s offense has been efficient since Jacoby Brissett took over at quarterback.
WR Jalen Coker vs Buccaneers (9%)
He’s been great the past two weeks with an 8-134-2 record, while Taiteroa McMillan has hit the rookie wall. Tampa Bay’s defense is usually a pass funnel, so Coker can once again beat his shot.
Saints WR Adonai Mitchell (18%)
He has scored a touchdown in two of three weeks and was the first player to read in Brady Cook’s first start (6-58-1). Cook is confirmed as the Week 16 starter, so Mitchell could have 7-10 targets before the game.

Giants quarterback JJ McCarthy (40%)
Maybe the connection to Justin Jefferson won’t be until 2026, but McCarthy did score 20-plus points in back-to-back starts, and he didn’t even have a sack against Dallas. Now, McCarthy is attacking New York’s defense, which is the fourth-most friendly to opposing quarterbacks.
TE Colston Loveland vs Packers (40%)
He had four catches and a touchdown in Green Bay’s previous game, and with Luther Burden III and Roman Odunze both injured, Loveland’s chances could surge in this game. Green Bay’s tight end defense has been good all year, but with Micah Parsons out for the season, the Packers’ defensive efficiency should take a dip.
