10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 1
Just because it's only Week 1 doesn't mean your team can't use a sleeper or two.

Eddie Royal, WR, Chicago Bears

Eddie Royal is a player who marks off plenty of items on the sleeper checklist.

He should be seeing a bigger-than-expected workload given the calf injury to Alshon Jeffery that might limit him in Week 1 and the shin injury to Kevin White, who could be out for quite some time this year.

He's also featured in a game with a high over/under (50) and is an underdog (by 6.5 points), so late-game targets could be in store for him. Plus Green Bay's pass defense is nothing to fear necessarily, as it ranked 15th in our per-play metrics and 21st in fantasy points allowed to receivers. As a minimum salary play on FanDuel, he certainly makes sense -- if DFS is your thing.
