6. James White, RB, New England Patriots (Week 2: at Dolphins)

We saw what the Ravens did to the Dolphins on Sunday: a 59-10 beatdown in which quarterback Lamar Jackson sat down by the middle of the third quarter. Don’t be surprised if the Patriots are able to do the same thing, if not worse, to the Miami defense.

If that does happen, expect White to have a decent-sized role. As the main receiving back for legendary quarterback Tom Brady, he sees the ball quite a bit. He had over 90 yards on a combined nine touches during the Patriots’ 33-3 romp over the Steelers Sunday night. Expect bigger numbers against a much weaker Miami defense, making him a great fantasy football sleeper, especially in PPR leagues.

5. Willie Snead IV, WR, Baltimore Ravens (Week 2: vs. Cardinals)

Much like Jackson could have a big day against a weakened Cardinals secondary, so can Willie Snead IV. He’s one of Jackson’s most trusted targets, with a knack of making tough, contested catches all over the field. Even though he only had three catches in the Ravens’ dominant win Sunday, then went for 41 yards and a touchdown.

He’s often one of the receivers that Jackson looks for in crunch time or in the end zone. A potential 100-yard game with a couple of touchdowns certainly isn’t out of the question.
