6 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 8

Mike Gillislee, RB, Buffalo Bills

Even after the Lesean McCoy injury concerns in Week 7, Mike Gillislee remains on the waiver wire in over half of Yahoo public leagues. McCoy didn't practice on Wednesday, and just like last week, if he sits, then Gillislee is in for a big workload as the Buffalo Bills' top back.

Before re-aggravating his injury in last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins, McCoy has averaged 21.3 opportunities per game in a Bills offense that is the third-most run-heavy unit in the NFL.

Gillislee doesn't draw a good matchup this week, taking on a stout New England Patriots run defense, but opportunity is king at running back. That's especially true in a week where options are slim. You could do a lot worse than getting a back with legitimate 20-touch upside off the waiver wire.
