10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 13

8. Eno Benjamin, Houston Texans

Eno Benjamin has yet to see the field as a member of the Texans after being claimed off of waivers by the team a few weeks ago. That may change this week with Rex Burkhead in concussion protocol. The Texans have enjoyed utilizing Dameon Pierce often throughout games.

Benjamin offers a passing game skillset that the Texans will need if Burkhead does indeed sit. Whether Benjamin has been inactive because he’s still getting up to speed with the playbook or if he’s not needed remains to be seen. If he’s active in Week 13, there’s a good chance he sees the field.

7. Jerick McKinnon, Kansas City Chiefs

Things continue to work against Jerick McKinnon in Kansas City. Isiah Pacheco takes the early-down role, Ronald Jones out-carries him in his first active game, and now the team just signed Melvin Gordon. Yet, he’s still the guy that the team relies on in passing situations.

McKinnon’s snap share remains high for the Kansas City Chiefs, but he just hasn’t gotten the touches to reflect that. Perhaps this is the week he will have to produce when the Chiefs take on the Cincinnati Bengals; a game that has “shootout” written all over it.
