Patrick Laird is a great sleeper call

The Miami running back has become a legitimate fantasy starter and is a threat as a runner and receiver. Against the Jets’ No. 2-ranked run defense last week, Laird had 48 rushing yards and 38 receiving yards on 19 touches. He probably will get about the same amount of touches this week, but you can expect bigger numbers because the opponent is the lowly Giants.
