7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 2
Javorius Allen, RB, Baltimore Ravens
ESPN Ownership: 7.1%
After receiving 21 carries for a depleted Baltimore Ravens backfield in Week 1, Javorius 'Buck' Allen saw a boost in his ownership percentage, but is still available in over 90% of ESPN leagues. The 26-year-old former USC Trojan remains behind Terrance West on the official depth chart, but should be more involved in Week 2 with Danny Woodhead placed on injured reserve.
With the Ravens defense shutting out the Cincinnati Bengals last week, plus Joe Flacco being less than 100%, the game flow led to a run-heavy attack. Even with another week under Flacco's belt to get healthier, a matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 should lend itself to another dose of double-digit carries for Allen on Sunday.
Vegas has made the Ravens eight-point favorites, while our algorithms give them 72.3% odds of winning.
