8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 1

Jordan Wilkins, RB, Indianapolis Colts

Another starting running back that isn't receiving much love, Jordan Wilkins, is second to Marlon Mack on the Colts' first (unofficial) depth chart. Mack did not practice on Wednesday, though, meaning we're not likely to see him play in Week 1. That leaves Wilkins as the starter for now.

This is a pretty solid spot for a running back, as the Colts are slight favorites and draw a Cincinnati defense that numberFire's models have ranked only 19th heading into the season. They rank an even worse 23rd against the run.

A fifth-round pick, there's not a ton to be excited about in Wilkins as a player, but that's not hugely important at running back. What we want at running back is volume, and that's something that Wilkins should offer no shortage of this week.
