No. 9 Mike Gillislee vs. Cleveland

This is a deeeeeeep sleeper pick. With Mark Ingram still suspended Gillislee is the go-to after Kamara. His debut wasn’t pretty. The Saints were playing catch up to Fitzmagic and the Bucs though so it’s not crazy to think that doesn’t happen again.

Kamara is the workhorse here but Gillislee has shown himself to be THE touchdown vulture and could scoop up some pivotal carries against the Browns this week.

James Conner in the second half was untouchable last week. Kamara was unstoppable against the Bucs. On Kamara’s off carries and in the red zone Gillislee could be really useful.

This isn’t your ‘I gotta take this guy” sleeper, this is your “I accidentally fell asleep during my draft and autodrafted four defenses” sleeper.
