8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 3

Corey Clement, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

Both Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) seem to be long-shots to play on Sunday, according to Philadelphia Eagles' coach Doug Pederson.

That leaves them incredibly thin at the running back position. They have called up Josh Adams from the practice squad and will likely give some increased work to Wendell Smallwood, but the player that stands to gain the most fantasy football value is Corey Clement.

In Week 1, when Ajayi and Sproles were each on the field for 40.3% of the team's offensive snaps, Clement played 13 of the 14 snaps that neither of them were on the field for. Sproles sat out in Week 2, while Ajayi missed most of the first half with an injury, and Clement saw his snap share jump to 41.8%, while Ajayi played 27.8% and Smallwood played 30.4%.

Clement saw some very significant usage in Week 2 as well, notching six carries and six targets, being used on over one-third of his snaps.

Running back is a tough position to find sleepers at on a week-by-week basis because of how reliant they are on volume. It's not often you're going to find a guy who projects to see the kind of workload that Clement does while being had for free in most leagues. So, if you need help at the position you should jump on this opportunity.
