Week 11 of the NFL season features several fantasy sleepers in the running back position, one of the most difficult situations to predict.
It’s Week 11 of the NFL and fantasy football season, and with the regular season drawing to a close, the fantasy managers have their sights set on the playoffs. Finding a sleeper on the run—with guys like Kenneth Walker, Travis Etienne Jr. and the Dolphins running back—can be huge this week.
The best back sleepers in fantasy football week 11
10. Tristan Ebner, Chicago Bears
With Khalil Herbert’s hip injury causing it Land on infected reserve, Tristan Ebner is the next guy in Chicago. With only 18 carries on the year, Ebner is taking over what was a sneaky senior role for the Bears, with Herbert having the most rushing yards among Bears running backs.
According to the Chicago TribuneEbner could be in line to increase his workload after Herbert’s injury. That, and the fact that the Bears have been reluctant to give David Montgomery real use of the buzzer this season makes Ebner a name to watch. While it probably won’t be fancy to start this week, it’s a smart cache and cheap DFS play.
9. Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams
Kyren Williams made his first appearance of the season (not counting a Week 1 hit in the game opener) and converted four touches for 39 yards. He also surprisingly outscored Cam Akers 16-10. Darrell Henderson Jr. has remained on top, but it’s fair to wonder how long this will continue given how inept he has been this season.
I see – it was hard to watch the attack of the Rams. Now without Cooper Kupp, it would probably be even worse. This could actually mean good things for Williams, as Sean McVay may decide to give the rookie a chance in the midst of a lost season. He’s served as a starting pro in Week 10, and his picks can only go up from here.
