Fantasy Football 2017: 10 Deep sleepers for Week 2

4 of 5

5. Javorius “Buck” Allen, RB, Baltimore Ravens (8.6 percent owned)

When Danny Woodhead left last week’s game with an injury, Allen took advantage as he finished with 21 carries for 71 yards. Woodhead was placed on injured reserve earlier this week so Allen will see plenty of playing time moving forward. I don’t anticipate him carrying the ball 21 times like last week, but I do expect him to catch more passes after finishing with one target and zero receptions in Week 1.

4. Jared Cook, TE, Oakland Raiders (27.1 percent owned)

Cook goes into Week 2 as the No. 9 PPR tight end after finishing with five receptions for 56 yards in Week 1. This week he faces the New York Jets who Buffalo Bills tight end Charles Clay beat for four receptions, 53 yards and one touchdown in Week 1.

3. Kerwynn Williams, RB, Arizona Cardinals (29.0 percent owned)

With David Johnson on injured reserve, Williams will be the team’s starting running back. Although he will lose touches to pass-catching running back Andre Ellington, Williams should be the team’s primary ball carrier. When Johnson came out of last week’s game, it was Williams who finished off a drive with a three-yard touchdown run.

The Cardinals Week 2 opponent, the Indianapolis Colts, gave up two rushing touchdowns last week the Los Angeles Rams.
