10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football week 3

Chris Ivory-Jacksonville Jaguars

Chris Ivory is actually available in almost 25% of ESPN leagues since he has yet to get on the field for the Jags after they signed him to a big contract this offseason. He’s one of the RB sleepers who could come up big this week, though, even though he may be on a snap count in his first game back from his mystery illness.

Just hours before Week 1, Ivory was unexpectedly hospitalized and forced to miss Weeks 1 and 2. T.J. Yeldon had a chance to step up and steal the job while Ivory was out, but Yeldon was a disappointment. That should leave plenty of room for Ivory to step in and produce.

He’s a high-risk play this week since how much he’ll play and how effective he’ll be is still in question. However, he should dominate goal line carries and could be the team’s featured back in the near future. Grab him off waiver wires if someone dropped him prematurely, and he could be started against the Ravens if you can’t find a better play.
