Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders could be a sneaky pickup for fantasy managers, but he will have an uphill battle this week against a tough Green Bay Packers defense. Sanders is essentially flying under the radar while being rostered in just 6% of Yahoo leagues. With Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer's commitment to a run-first approach, Sanders could see an uptick in touches, especially with CeeDee Lamb (ankle) sidelined due to his ankle injury. Sanders saw an increase in usage in last Sunday's loss against the Bears, logging nine carries for 41 yards and adding three receptions on three targets for 12 yards. The absence of Lamb opens the door for Dallas to lean more heavily on the ground game, potentially giving Sanders more opportunities to rack up yards and chip in on short-yardage scoring chances. Fantasy managers who think ahead of their league mates could capitalize on this low-ownership back. If you have roster space, adding Sanders now might give you an edge while others scramble to adjust. This could be one of those under-the-radar plays that pays off in multiple weeks, particularly if the Cowboys continue to favor a run-heavy game plan. Despite the Cowboys leaning on the run, Sanders comes in as RB37 in the latest RotoBaller Week 4 rankings, making him a borderline FLEX play for this week.--Tipp Major
