When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost wide receiver Vincent Jackson for the year to a knee injury in Week 5, some wondered who was going to step up and get Jackson’s leftover passing targets for the remainder of the season.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Adam Humphries has sleeper capabilities this week

In his second year with the Bucs, Adam Humphries has quickly taken the role as the team’s second wide receiver. Currently, he ranks second on the roster in targets (45), catches (30), and receiving yards (337).
Fantasy Impact: After catching his second career touchdown last week against the Atlanta Falcons, Humphries will be looking for his third this Sunday against the Chicago Bears.
He should have a decent chance to do so, since the Bears are giving up the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in 2016. Chicago has allowed the position group to celebrate in the end zone six times in their last four games.
For fantasy owners looking to add a possible spark to their lineups this week, Humphries could very well be the guy to do so.
