8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 16

Kenneth Dixon, RB, Baltimore Ravens

Kenneth Dixon returned to action in Week 13 after an injury had sidelined him since Week 1.

His three games since have each seen him notch at least 8 carries with 1 target in each, and Week 15 saw him handle 11 carries -- his most since the injury.

That's not huge volume, but a deeper look at his workload is particularly encouraging.

He played only 21% of the Baltimore Ravens' offensive snaps in his Week 13 return, saw that mark jump to 32% in Week 14, and then played 52% in Week 15. That 52% mark is the highest any of the team's backs has notched since Dixon returned, and we've seen Gus Edwards' snaps decline each week (51%, 44% and 43%).

While the Chargers aren't a great matchup for Baltimore's passing game, we have them ranked 17th against the run, and they're allowing top-10 fantasy production to running backs. This is a good spot for Dixon to convert that expanding workload into production.
