RB Sleepers

James Starks-Green Bay Packers: Starks far outperformed Eddie Lacy finishing with 112 yards on ten carries with a touchdown.  He added a second touchdown on his only reception of the game which went for five yards.  If he gets more work than Lacy on a regular basis, Starks can be a fantasy factor.

LeGarrette Blount-New England Patriots: Blount was a big part of the Patriots gameplan against the Colts and finished with a pair of touchdowns.  He hauled in his only target for an 11-yard receiving touchdown and added 93 yards on his 16 carries including another touchdown.

Dexter McCluster-Tennessee Titans: McCluster comes and goes from the Titans gameplan but this week he was regularly used running for 23 yards on five carries and catching three passes for 19 yards and a touchdown.  He doesn’t get enough touches to be more than a dart throw most weeks.

Theo Riddick-Detroit Lions: Riddick didn’t get into the end zone this week, but he had over 75 total yards and was still involved in Detroit’s attack.  Riddick had 50 yards on his three catches and added 28 yards on his seven carries.
