Fantasy Football Sleeper Week 13 Raiders vs. Dolphins

by Rich Langford on Dec 4, 2011 12:12 AM PST

It is hard to recommend any Raider as a sleeper this week. Miami's defense is playing great, and the Raiders will be playing with their backup receiving corp. For the record, I don't consider Michael Bush or Carson Palmer sleepers. The rest of the Raiders are fair game though.

After a little thought though, the Raiders sleeper is clear. It is Marcel Reece. The versatile back has taken on a big load with all of the offensive injuries. Last week, Reece caught five passes for 92 yards.

It is safe to assume he will be an active member of the passing game this week. He should also get a few carries. With the lack of depth at RB, someone has to take some carries to give Bush a breather. Two weeks ago, Reece had six carries for 45 yards.

Reece has a solid chance of breaking 100 total yards in this game. So be a pioneer, and be the only person starting a fullback in your league.

I picked up Reece in my Raider fan league with the group here

but I’d have to start him over Matt Forte vs. KC or Chris Johnson vs. Buffalo, without a flex option in this league, so…

If I hear one other report to say it before gametime tomorrow I’ll take the leap of faith. This league’s pretty tight, and my matchups this week aren’t so hot otherwise.

"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and fuck -ups, they have lots of penalties, fights, and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get fucked. Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in shit and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits." - George Carlin.
