10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 11

5. Alex Collins, Seattle Seahawks

There was hope that Chris Carson would be able to return from his neck injury this week, but that looks like a long shot at best. So, go after the next best running back in the Seahawks backfield. Alex Collins has been inconsistent this season. Honestly, the entire Seattle Seahawks team is a model of inconsistency this year. However, with Russell Wilson now back for a full week, Collins can get comfortable in the starting role.

The one hesitation here is how good the Cardinals’ run defense has been. They’ve allowed three rushing touchdowns all season, tied for the lowest in the league. Still, Arizona has to try and stop DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, which could give Collins the ability to make things happen underneath. The Seahawks need to start scoring, especially if Kyler Murray is back this week. The running game will help that.

4. Miles Sanders, Philadelphia Eagles

Here is the Philadelphia Eagles’ chance to show they will keep their commitment to the run when they have the best running back in the lineup. The issues in the City of Brotherly Love stem from an inconsistency in the offense from top to bottom. However, Jalen Hurts is starting to come on, and Miles Sanders is returning to the lineup. Sanders should be getting the bulk of the carries this week, as he’s the best guy they have.

Nick Siriani eluded that Sanders would have to share carries with Boston Scott and Jordan Howard, but one is playing running back roulette with this backfield every week, and Sanders makes the most sense to start at this point. Let’s see how the running backs do against the Saints, who have been good on defense this season. The hope is the Eagles find a way to make the offense snowball into turnovers, giving the offense some short fields.
