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.

If you’re looking for our complete fantasy football coverage, check out our fantasy football hub which is always loaded with tips, picks, and the latest injury news. If you have lineup questions for one-week or your season-long leagues, I’ll answer as many as I can on Twitter @FansidedFantasy. Stay tuned tomorrow for more sleepers at other positions.  I’ll tweet the links and they’ll be posted on the hub listed above and the related content box as well.

Let’s get started with my running back sleepers for fantasy football week 6.
