As we noted in our Week 4 running back rankings article , injuries are already starting to lead to chances for handcuffs like Karlos Williams and maybe even Thomas Rawls , and favorable matchups present new opportunities for sleepers at every position in a given week.

The increased focus on the ground game made Giovani Bernard, who was expected to handle lead-back duties in his second season, a chic early-round pick and rookie Jeremy Hill a popular fantasy football sleeper selection heading into 2014.

The likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland will make up team spines for many, but the budget picks can make all the difference once the points start rolling in for virtual managers. There are plenty of players who raked in points last season and are almost certain to be first-team regulars this time around, offering opportunities for bargains across the board.

A lot of the top-tier wideouts will be off the board quickly despite running backs dominating the top of the overall rankings.
