News that Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is suspended six games pending an appeal sent ripples through Fantasy Football rankings.
Elliott plunged down draft boards, but given the possibility of a shortened suspension, where should you draft Zeke and what other running backs can fill the void on your Fantasy roster?
The team at SportsLine is high on Falcons RB Tevin Coleman. He has an ADP in the fifth round, but SportsLine's model projects him to have a similar output as Elliott. Coleman had 11 total touchdowns last season and will once again be a major focus of Atlanta's offense.
SportsLine's model is powered by the same people who powered projections for all three major fantasy companies. And it nailed LeGarrette Blount as a sleeper last season. Blount, of course, led the NFL with 18 rushing TDs.
SportsLine's cheat sheets are available for 10-team and 12-team PPR and non-PPR leagues on any major site and are updated four times a day. As soon as the news of Elliott's suspension hit, SportsLine updated its Fantasy Football cheat sheets.
If you can't get Coleman, target Chiefs RB Kareem Hunt. The rookie will have a bellcow role after starting RB Spencer Ware tore his PCL, likely ending his season. Hunt has an ADP in the fifth round, and SportsLine has him ranked the same as Dalvin Cook, Lamar Miller, and Leonard Fournette (all third-rounders).
Another huge sleeper: a running back you can wait until the seventh round to draft who's ranked the same as Marshawn Lynch (fourth round), Ty Montgomery (fourth round), and Carlos Hyde (fifth round).
So what sleepers should you snatch in your Fantasy Football draft? And what huge running back can you wait on until late? Visit SportsLine now to get Fantasy Football cheat sheets from the model that was relied on to power all three major Fantasy Football sites and find out.
