5. Devin Singletary (BUF)

Game: Buffalo Bills at Las Vegas Raiders (Sunday, 10/4, 4:25 pm EST) 

The Super-Bowl-contending Buffalo Bills sound like a rallying cry from the early 1990s, and western New York craves that nostalgia.

The Raiders are allowing a chunky 5.64 yards per carry in 2020, a mark that is third-worst in the NFL. If Josh Allen doesn’t hog the rushing attempts in Sin City, Singletary should put up some fantasy points.

6. Rex Burkhead (NE)

Game: New England Patriots at Kansas City Chiefs (Sunday, 10/4, 4:25 pm EST) 

Don’t look now, but Rex Burkhead was the NFL’s second-best fantasy running back in Week 3. The fantasy community assumes that was a fluke, so that allows us to include Burkhead once again as a sleeper.

Burkhead might be somebody Cam Newton trusts — even with James White returning. Let’s roll the dice and find out.

7. Mark Ingram (BAL)

Game: Baltimore Ravens at Washington Football Team (Sunday, 10/4, 1:00pm EST) 

Folks are feeling pretty low on the Ravens right about now because the purple birds could not successfully peck away at the Chiefs earlier this week. Not too many teams can solve Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

At some point, the Ravens may fully deploy rookie J.K. Dobbins. But, that strategy hasn’t been concocted yet. We’re taking the Ravens to emphatically get back on track against the lowly Football Team. In doing so, Ingram will contribute admirably.
