10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 4
By Nick Villano
3. Zack Moss, Buffalo Bills
Week 1 made it look like the Buffalo Bills were completely out on running back Zack Moss. Not only did they make Devin Singletary the starter, but they kept Moss inactive entirely. It was a blow to fantasy owners who were hoping Moss was a good sleeper candidate. He was dropped en masse, and teams were moving on to other sleeper candidates.
In the two weeks since Moss has had touchdowns in each game. He had two touchdowns in his return to the lineup in Week 2, and he looked really good while doing it. This week, the Bills are taking on a Houston Texans team that just isn’t very good. The Bills have been exploding offensively again, and they should be able to do it again this week. Expect a lot of opportunities for Moss to score, and then he should get some garbage time rushing plays.

2. Darrell Henderson, Los Angeles Rams
Darnell Henderson is another major name coming off an injury, but it sounds like he is as close to playing as anyone. They are taking on the Arizona Cardinals who have been really good against the run so far, but this matchup is about the opportunity. This is expected to be a really high-scoring matchup between two of the most exciting teams in the league.
Henderson should be in the red zone at least four times on Sunday, and that means there are opportunities for touchdowns on the ground and through the air. The fact that Sony Michel is getting more acclimated to the offense is worrisome, and a rib injury is hard to predict, but Henderson is still a good play this week barring a setback.
1. Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles looked very, very bad this past week. The Dallas Cowboys just took them to town, and the result was a loss on national television. The offense hasn’t exactly been the problem, but they haven’t been able to keep them in games either. This week, they need a better game plan. They are taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s time to get creative. Miles Sanders is key to making this offense run.
Everything we are hearing out of Eagles camp shows they want to run the ball more. Sanders is obviously the first player who is going to progress positively from that development. He had his best week last week, and now he’s facing a Chiefs defense that allows an average of 160 yards per game on the ground. Sanders will have the opportunity. He is a must-start this week.
