Deep Sleeper RB with early breakout potential

Postby philstubbs » Mon Aug 21, 2017 11:36 am

I'm in a pretty deep 14 team league towards the end of our email draft and I am looking for one more RB to pick up with one of my last picks. Ideally he would be in a situation where I'll know within the first few weeks if he's the real deal or if I can cut him for some waiver wire pickups.

So far 61 RBs have been taken. Here's a few of the ones that are left: Booker, Richard, Lewis, Hightower, Turbin, Burkhead, Vereen, Sims, Washington, Smallwood. But feel free to suggest others as well.
14-team, 0.5 PPR / WR, 1 PPR / TE
QB, 1 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 W/R/T, K
Quarterbacks: Philip Rivers, Jared Goff
Running backs: Lamar Miller, Thomas Rawls, Dalvin Cook, Theo Riddick
Wide receivers: Julian Edelman, T.Y. Hilton, Jeremy Maclin, Pierre Garcon, Allen Robinson, Tyler Lockett, J.J. Nelson
Tight ends: Gronk, Eric Ebron, Adam Shaheen
