Fantasy football week 11 sleepers: 5 running back sleepers
Check out these 5 running back sleepers who can help you round out your fantasy football lineup for NFL week 11.
It’s time for another full Sunday of NFL action as week 11 gives us a busy Sunday of football games to enjoy. If you’re playing fantasy football on FanDuel, DraftKings, or in season-long leagues, one thing you always have to be looking out for is the right running back sleepers. Getting production from unexpected places can be the key to a Sunday and Monday of fantasy excitement on your way to a win and possibly some cash. To help you find some effective running back sleepers, I’ve listed my top five options to consider on the following slides.

As we get to week 11, the 2015 fantasy season has been a wild ride for most fantasy owners. There have been a number of key injuries at running back leaving owners scrambling for replacements. Many of the running backs that went early in fantasy football drafts have been huge disappointments while others have emerged out of nowhere to be solid weekly plays.
Week 11 is the final week of the season with bye weeks in the NFL, so make sure to adjust your roster for the players who get the week off. The Browns, Saints, Giants, and Steelers are resting this week, but next week all 32 teams will be in action every week for the last six weeks of the season.
In this weekly Sunday morning post, you won’t find any of the big names at the top of the salary structure in daily leagues who are usually players who are already universally owned in season-long leagues anyway. Instead, I try to find some under-hyped running backs that are in a position to step up and produce this week. Many of them are on waiver wires in season-long leagues, and they all are relatively affordable on both FanDuel and DraftKings. These running back sleepers should be able to help you come out on the right side of your matchups whatever format you decide to play this weekend.

With those ground rules in place, let’s get rolling with my top 5 running back sleepers for fantasy football week 11.
