10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 9
By Dustin Baker
5. DeeJay Dallas (SEA)
Game: Seattle Seahawks at Buffalo Bills (Sunday, 11/8, 1:00 pm EST)
Even we had to do a “who the hell is that?” when researching Dallas’ sleeper candidacy last week. Starter Chris Carson is hampered and may or may not play this weekend. Dallas proved in Week 8 that he is capable of making some plays when the rookie from the University of Miami (FL) notched two touchdowns. He will get some touches at Buffalo, and Russell Wilson seems to trust him.
6. Adrian Peterson (DET)
Game: Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings (Sunday, 11/8, 1:00 pm EST)
One of these games vs. his former team, former Viking Adrian Peterson will probably stick it to Minnesota. This will be the third meeting of his against the Vikings after the team’s parted ways with him in 2017. Detroit employs a committee-style approach to its ground game, so Peterson will not be given oodles of touches. But, he might just sneak into the endzone once or twice.
7. Devin Singletary (BUF)
Game: Seattle Seahawks at Buffalo Bills (Sunday, 11/8, 1:00 pm EST)
Singletary might be the man we’ve chosen most this season as a sleeper. Why? Because he isn’t quite productive enough to start every week, but he is the Bills RB1 — a team that generally likes to run the football as a rule of thumb. Seattle habitually drags its opponents into shootouts, and we’re expecting to see another in Buffalo. Singletary is worthy of a start here.
