10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 2
By Dustin Baker
8. Chase Edmonds (ARI)
Game: Washington Football Team at Arizona Cardinals (Sunday, 9/20, 4:05 pm EST)
Edmonds received nine touches in Week 1 vs. the usually sturdy San Francisco 49ers defense. This week, Edmonds, an RB2 behind Kenyan Drake, will face the Washington Football Team. While it’s true that the Football Team stunned the Eagles in Week 1, their run defense just one year ago was the second-worst in the NFL. Drake should get some relief in favor of Edmonds, and he could capitalize.
9. Devin Singletary (BUF)
Game: Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins (Sunday, 9/20, 1:00 pm EST)
Admittedly, this one is a wee bit nerve-wracking. The Bills possess three respectable running backs on their depth chart: Singletary, Zack Moss, and T.J. Yeldon. Buffalo could do full-blown committee mode and drive you insane, or they could get Singletary 20-plus touches. Singletary is technically the RB1, so let’s try him on for size on your fantasy team for Week 2.
10. J.K. Dobbins (BAL)
Game: Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans (Sunday, 9/20, 3:25 pm EST)
If all goes according to plan for this analysis, this will be the last week Dobbins can be called a “sleeper.” Dobbins was the most successful sleeper pick in last week’s batch when he hit paydirt twice.
FanSided is rolling with Dobbins again as he can still be coined a sleeper when the Ravens have Lamar Jackson, Mark Ingram, and Gus Edwards all fighting over carries. When Dobbins got his touches last weekend, he put points on the board. It’s that simple.
Call it an encore for Dobbins down in Houston.
