LIZ LOZA: Right. It is time for our game-changing sleepers, presented by Sleep Number. We're going deep into the player pool to find guys who could be a big surprise and help change the fate of your fantasy team. Here are two players to consider in week seven. You know, I have said this before, and I'm going to say it again. The Detroit Lions are like Detroit-style pizza, the worst kind of pizza, but, you know, still pizza. There are fantasy points to be found here, even behind D'Andre Swift and TJ Hockenson. Amon-Ra St. Brown has averaged seven-and-a-half looks per game since the beginning of the month, and he's recorded a snap share of nearly 80% in back-to-back weeks.

This week, even though the narrative is all about their revenge games, the former Trojan has a homecoming contest in Southern California. Anthony Lynn, like, he may not want to air it out versus the Rams, but he gonna have to because the Lions are 16 and 1/2 point underdogs. That means another 8 to 10 targets for the rookie slot receiver, especially with Tyrell Williams and Quintez Cephus still banged up. Don't expect huge yardage totals here, right? But in PPR-friendly formats, you can flex St. Brown.

From chasing receptions with St. Brown to chasing touchdowns with CJ Uzomah. I know none of us likes to do it, but this is the tight end position. Even with Tee Higgins in the lineup last Sunday, Uzomah found the end zone again for his third score of the season. Today, he gets the Ravens. And that's a squad that's allowed the third most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, and led Jared Cook, dusty old Jared Cook into the end zone a week ago.

I like the offense Uzomah is attached to, I like the touchdown upside that he offers, and I love the matchup. So he is my tight end 13 for the week. Those are our game-changing sleepers, presented by Sleep Number, helping NFL players gain their competitive edge by getting a good night's.
