2011 NFL Fantasy Football Running Back Sleepers

Fantasy Football normally comes down to who picks up those sleepers in the late rounds that turn into stars. The most frequent position this seems to happen at is running back. Here is my list of running backs that are worth a shot at for the 2011 fantasy football season.

#1-LeGarrette Blount
This Tampa Bay Buc Is looking to explode on the NFL. With a 1,000 yard season last year as a rookie and a 5 yard per carry average Blount has shown he has what it takes. Also he is a big physical back so look for him to get a lot of touches around the goal line.

#2-Jahvid Best
I was really looking for best to have a great year last year in Detroit and I would be willing to gamble on him again. The Lions should be much improved this year and if Mathew Stafford can stay healthy this year that offense should be impressive. With Best poised to get the majority of the carries he could put up great numbers.

#3-Reggie Bush
I know he is not the greatest fantasy player, but I think this change of scenery to Miami can do nothing but help Bush. He is perfect for that offense and could be very effective in the wildcat, but most importantly I think he will get more touches. Miami does not have the big name offensive stars like New Orleans so look for Bush to put up solid numbers.

Those are my top three sleepers for the 2011 fantasy football season, be sure to check out my other fantasy football picks for the 2011 season.
