10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 8
Antonio Andrews, RB, Tennessee Titans
Antonio Andrews actually has some pretty decent metrics for a player with his role. His Rushing NEP (0.84) ranks 26th among 68 backs with at least 20 carries this year (Andrews has 38), and his Success Rate, the percentage of carries that actually result in positive NEP, is a robust 50 percent, ranking 11th in that group.
For some comparison, though, Bishop Sankey has a Rushing NEP of 0.42 on 39 carries and a Rushing Success Rate of 43.59 percent, 18th-best in the group. Those are positive marks, but things are pretty modest on the ground in Tennessee (the team ranks 19th in rushing efficiency, per our numbers).
As a result, nobody has laid claim to the backfield, but it looks like Andrews is slated for a bump in workload this week against the Texans, who rank 22nd in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play.
