Fantasy Football 2018: 10 RB sleepers to target for Week 11

Fantasy football owners are gearing up for another week of action, but there aren’t many tantalizing running back options on the waiver wire.

One of these backs could be the difference in winning your fantasy football matchup this week.

In Week 10, we saw Aaron Jones and Matt Breida make it rain for fantasy football owners, and the two have become key options for owners going forward. Jones already played in Week 11, producing one of the performances of the season on Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks, playing a key role in another heart-breaking Packers loss.

Here are ten running backs who could make an impact for fantasy owners in Week 11, and hopefully owners are able to find the sleeper that can put them over the edge this week.

10. Theo Riddick, Detroit Lions vs. Carolina Panthers

The Detroit Lions are fading fast, and they could easily lose a fourth straight game this week against the Carolina Panthers. Detroit is dead last in the NFC North with a 3-6 record, and while the division technically remains competitive, the Lions are pretty much out of it.

Lately, Matthew Stafford has been getting Theo Riddick more involved in the passing game, since that’s the only area where Riddick can offer value to fantasy owners. Riddick has never been a plus rusher, and the Lions have given up on feeding him carries, especially since Matt Patricia finally figured out that Kerryon Johnson is one of the league’s best backs.

Riddick had his best game of the season in a loss to the Chicago Bears last week, catching six passes for 60 yards. In Week 9, he caught seven passes against the Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy owners in PPR leagues should scoop up Riddick as a desperation play.
