Former Georgia running back Sony Michel is among NFL.com writer Adam Rank's 11 fantasy football sleepers.

“But Patriots running backs are like Easter Eggs planted in movies.” Rank wrote. “I anticipate a huge role for Michel this year.”

The New England Patriots drafted Michel with its thirty-first pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. In 2017, Michel had 1,227 yards and 16 touchdowns, averaging 7.9 yards.

The rest of Adam Rank’s 11 fantasy football sleepers include Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Allen Hurns, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins, Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson, Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Trent Taylor, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida, New Orleans Saints running back Boston Scott, Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones.
