Antonio Andrews-Tennessee Titans

If you have to go much cheaper than Johnson, Allen, and West, there are a couple ultra-cheap options who could produce. The first of the deeper running back sleepers has been productive even though he’s stuck in a timeshare in Tennessee. The Titans have been splitting carries between Bishop Sankey, Dexter McCluster, and Antonio Andrews. Andrews is the one I’ve selected to feature in my running back sleepers this week.

In the last two games, Andrews has gotten into the end zone even though he only managed nine yards on seven carries in week 5 against the Bills. He did look good in the passing game catching three passes for 45 yards. He rushed for 49 yards and a touchdown the previous game against the Colts and added a twelve-yard catch.

The two reasons I like Andrews over Sankey and McCluster is that he is the preferred goal line back and is involved in the passing game. He is a big bruising back, and he’s worth rolling the dice on if you have to go cheap since there’s a good chance he’ll get into the end zone against the Dolphins.. On DraftKings, Andrews only costs 3,400 while he is an affordable 5,400 on FanDuel. If you are looking for help in your season-long league, Andrews is only owned in 36% of ESPN leagues.
