NFL
8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 3
Leading the Eagles' backfield in snaps, Darren Sproles has a great matchup this week against Pittsburgh.

Shane Vereen, RB, New York Giants

Shane Vereen is another receiving back that is playing more than just passing downs.

Through two weeks, his 64 offensive snaps are only 2 fewer than Rashad Jennings, and Vereen has also averaged 10 carries and 4 targets per game, compared to 15.5 carries and 2 targets for Jennings.

Jennings has been limited at Giants' practice this week with a thumb injury. While he is still expected to play, he could see his playing time cut down a bit, which is what happened when he was out-snapped by Vereen in Week 2.

The Giants backs also have a great matchup this week versus Washington. Washington's defense has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs to start the season, and they allowed above-average production to the position in 2015, as well.
