San Francisco 49ers running back Anthony Dixon may sit as second on the depth chart behind Frank Gore, but he's a value addition to your fantasy roster suitable for those owners with Gore and those without him, alike.
Gore missed five games last season with a fractured hip, and Dixon stepped up to fill his hole, rushing for 237 yards and two touchdowns in 2010.
And now Gore is having issues with his contract, which he is trying to restructure before the season opener on September 11. While he hopes that the ensuing contract makes him a 49er for life, it is not impossible that, if the deal hits significant snags, he could hold out.
If that is the case, Dixon may be called to step up in the starting role, and it's not going to be difficult for him to find success or the end zone if he does.
Combine that with Gore's spotty injury history, and Dixon is one of the premier sleeper running backs of the fantasy season.
