Kenneth Farrow may not strike you as a sleeper if you devote a ton of weekly time to fantasy research, but he remains on the waiver wire in 69% of Yahoo public leagues. If your league is one of those, you should grab him immediately.
Melvin Gordon is expected to miss this week's game with a hip injury, leaving Farrow as the San Diego Chargers' top back. With Gordon making an early exit last week, Farrow played 85% of offensive snaps, saw 16 carries and had 6 receptions on 6 targets. That's workhorse volume available on the waiver wire, and he is especially appealing in point per reception (PPR) leagues.
He also draws an excellent matchup as the Chargers host the Oakland Raiders, who rank only 28th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play and 23rd against the pass, while allowing the league's 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs.
