Speaking of bully ball, the Ravens have one of the most impressive rushing attacks in the NFL. With Mark Ingram on a new team and J. Dobbins out for the year, Edwards has a clear path to a big workload in Considering he has averaged 5. Sermon is a big, bruising back who will likely help San Francisco score touchdowns and run out the clock in games when the 49ers are winning.
As the season goes on, the 49ers are probably going to get Sermon more involved. The truth is that Ingram is far past his prime. I like drafting both players with some of your final picks. That way, you own the backfield in case one of them emerges as a legitimate starter in fantasy. Dominate your fantasy football league with The Huddle. Fantasy football , Patriots Analysis.

Broncos injury report: Pat Surtain did not practice Wednesday. Error Please enter an email address. Success Thanks for signing up. Someone like Cole Kmet isn't necessarily in a "new situation," but we still expect him to take a big leap forward in his sophomore season and overtake Jimmy Graham as Chicago's primary TE. If you're in a shallow league, most of these guys won't even be on your radar.
That's where these types of TEs will be patiently waiting to be claimed. Even if you take a "good" starter earlier, it's still smart to take a flier on the sleeper tight end late. Remember, there are only a handful of players at the position who can be trusted every week, so giving yourself options makes sense.
Williams will be competing with veteran Melvin Gordon for touches, but even if the talented rookie isn't starting in Week 1, he has more long-term potential because of his explosiveness. The Broncos offense has a lot of talent but also a lot of question marks. Williams can be a stabilizing force if the coaching staff lets him.
It would be foolish to completely write off the year-old Gordon, who posted 1, total yards, 4. Everyone is excited about JK Dobbins this year -- and deservedly so -- but don't sleep on Edwards. He's posted at least yards and averaged at least 5. With Mark Ingram gone, his path to production is even more open. He might not crack double-digit receptions, but it wouldn't be a complete shock if Edwards wound up getting more touches than Dobbins and starred in the Ravens backfield.
Either way, he's being undervalued in drafts. Consider Edwards more of a 1B to Dobbins' 1A than merely a traditional handcuff. While Edwardswasa sleeper, he'll likely shoot up in ADP. If you've already drafted and grabbed him, congratulations. If you have yet to draft, he's ranked our No. Carter is competing with Tevin Coleman and La'Mical Perine for carries, but it's tough to trust either after they averaged 1. Carter posted back-to-back 1,yard seasons at North Carolina and averaged a whopping 8.
He's the most explosive player in New York's backfield and should eventually see the most touches. Zack Moss RB. More notably, Moss saw seven targets against the Dolphins including five designed plays meant for him, both season-highs.
So Moss has been getting the workload we've been waiting for a Bills running back to have, he's just not showing much efficiency or touchdown production. The hope is that changes against the Jaguars, who aren't pushovers against the run 3. Moss is good enough to call a low-end No. Houston Texans.
Miami Dolphins. Myles Gaskin RB. If not now, when? Best of all, Gaskin's seen at least 15 touches in each of his past two with four targets in each and four-plus targets in 7 of 8 games this season. The Texans have allowed over rushing yards to running backs in five straight games 5.
Teams are also blocking well against the Texans defensive front, getting 1. That especially helps Gaskin since his O-line has been a detriment -- for one week they might not be. Las Vegas Raiders. New York Giants. Devontae Booker RB. NYG N. Booker got a lot of touches against a bad run defense on Monday and was fantastic.
Expect a similar outing here, hopefully including a bunch of targets like he had at Kansas City a season-high six. Frankly, he's among the league's least efficient running backs under 4. The matchup helps a lot: Las Vegas has allowed at least 81 total yards to a running back in four of its seven games and a touchdown to a back in 6 of 7. They're also horrible in yards before contact allowed per carry 1.
The hope is the Raiders' mediocre run defense doesn't hamper Booker's O-line much and gives the run game a shot at some decent numbers. Kadarius Toney WR. What's scariest: That Toney ran only 17 routes on Monday, or that only three of them were over 10 yards downfield, or that he has a better receiving average on eight targets from Mike Glennon No doubt he's a wily, slippery receiver who should see an uptick in playing time this week against the Raiders, but maybe I've been overvaluing his upside.
Would you believe the Raiders lead the league in fewest yards after catch per reception allowed 3. The Giants would be wise to feed Toney lots of short- and intermediate-level throws against the Raiders, though his small sample size suggests he's much more explosive against man coverage.
Without the guarantee of heavy target volume and the likelihood of him being corralled by Las Vegas' defense, I wouldn't feel great starting Toney this week as anything more than a middling flex. Minnesota Vikings. Baltimore Ravens. Devonta Freeman RB.
When we last saw the Ravens, Freeman had the most playing time, played both snaps near the goal line and scored from a yard out!
I can only guess that Freeman will be the Ravens' lead back, but I'm using the term "lead" loosely and I'm using the word "guess" very seriously. Figure him to have a shot at around 12 touches versus a Vikings run defense that was hemorrhaging rushing yards until the past two weeks when they held the Panthers runners to 3. If this matchup is getting tougher and Freeman isn't assured a sizable amount of touches, he's hard to feel good about starting. Atlanta Falcons. New Orleans Saints. Mike Davis RB.
In two games since the Falcons bye, Davis has racked up 54 yards on 13 carries and 22 yards on five catches six targets. Think that's good? It's not. It's Davis' worst two-game total this season.
Sadly, he's seeing his touches begin to wane even though his playing time has remained pretty much steady. Davis has yet to exceed 12 PPR points in a game this season and has been granted at least 10 Fantasy points in five games. If you understood what you just read, it means he's been between 10 and 12 points in 5 of 8 games. There's your ceiling and your floor for Davis, though this week he's taking on a Saints defense that's been especially stingy against the run.
I would start pretty much any human being who has a chance to have at least a decent game ahead of Davis, who just cannot be relied upon to snap out of his low-production funk. Los Angeles Chargers. Philadelphia Eagles. Sneaky Sleeper. Jared Cook TE. LAC L. Cook has seen at least five targets in three of his last four games, scoring in two of them. While the Eagles have been outstanding against wide receivers, they've had some bumps in the road against tight ends.
Howard 16 PPR points each had strong games against them over the last three weeks.
