Fantasy football week 6 sleepers: 5 running back sleepers
Each week in fantasy football there are running back sleepers who step up and produce even though the don’t cost a lot in daily fantasy football leagues. You can find my 5 picks for week 6 on the following slides.

In this post, I’m not going to focus on the big name stars at the top of the salary structure in daily leagues and already universally owned in season-long leagues. Instead, I’ll try and select some lesser-known backs that are set up to step up this week.
Usually, on Sunday morning, I list all my sleepers for the week (here’s what last week’s looked like), but I’ve decided to separate out each position to give you more focused information on the backs I think are most likely to exceed expectations this week.
My running backs last week included Dion Lewis, Todd Gurley, Duke Johnson, and Chris Thompson. Hopefully, this week my picks produce some good numbers for us at affordable prices.
