Uncovering sleepers in fantasy football isnt easy with so many players seeking and finding much of the same information.So its an advantage to consider sleepers not just hidden stars but as players who should outperform their projected fantasy draft positions.Be bold and take a chance, and you could find yourself with true difference-makers who can propel your fantasy team to greater heights in 2016.---WENDELL SMALLWOOD (RB, Eagles)Ryan Mathews has played 16 games just once in six seasons, and current backup Kenjon Barner is too small to take over as a featured runner if Mathews gets hurt again. Smallwood has been slowed by a preseason injury in his rookie year, but he is versatile and will be ready to contribute when called on during the regular season.---CHRIS THOMPSON (RB, Redskins)He is the teams best pass-catching running back, and the Redskins will be throwing often this year. Matt Jones is already having preseason performance and injury issues, and Thompson could end up being the only trustworthy running back on the roster, especially in point-per-reception formats.---JAY AJAYI (RB, Dolphins)Miami added Arian Foster, but he is a definite health risk. Ajayis preseason stock is falling because of the Foster addition, but at some point he will be back as a starter for the Dolphins and he should get a lot of work as a primary ball carrier.---SPENCER WARE (RB, Chiefs)He scored six times last year after Jamaal Charles went down with a knee injury, and could be in line to vulture some touchdowns this season as the Chiefs manage their true No. 1 running back. Should Charles go down again, Ware should be the preferred top option over Charcandrick West.---ELI ROGERS (WR, Steelers)Rogers is back after his 2015 season was ruined by a foot injury. An undrafted free agent, Rogers is pushing the struggling and more-ballyhooed Sammie Coates for his spot on the depth chart. Rogers is looking good in the preseason and has the promise to contribute in a potent passing game.---BRUCE ELLINGTON (WR, 49ers)Someone has to step forward to catch passes for the Niners, and that may not be Torrey Smith often enough. He is miscast as a top wide receiver on an NFL team and will frequently be matched up against a top cover cornerback or extra defensive attention. If Ellington can finally avoid injuries this year, he could emerge as a needed playmaker for San Francisco.---MIKE WALLACE (WR, Ravens)Wallace has been seemingly lost ever since he left Pittsburgh, but Wallace could be reborn in Baltimore. Joe Flacco throws very well downfield, a skill that seemed to be lacking for Wallaces past QBs, Ryan Tannehill and Teddy Bridgewater. The Ravens desperately need quality performers at WR, and Wallace has a great opportunity to seize here.---CHRIS HOGAN (WR, Patriots)As he did with Danny Woodhead and Wes Welker, Bill Belichick (or someone close to him) has raided the roster of a divisional opponent to pluck a player who can fit perfectly into the New England offense. Hogan is a big, nifty target who can vault quickly up the Patriots WR depth chart and become a quality statistical producer.---TYROD TAYLOR (QB, Bills)Taylor threw for just 20 TDs last year, but he also rushed for 598 yards and four scores. T-Mobile has the coolest nickname in the NFL and the potential to be a top 10 Fantasy quarterback. He should throw more TD passes this year with Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods healthy along with a rebound season from TE Charles Clay. Taylor should improve as a pocket passer and he is a dual threat with some true fantasy upside.---TYLER HIGBEE (TE, Rams)Most veteran Fantasy analysts never recommend rookie tight ends, but Higbee can be a notable exception. He is a converted wide receiver and he may have quite an opportunity to contribute in a Los Angeles passing game that seems to be devoid of quality targets. Higbee has already showed off the skills to be an effective possession receiver on key downs in the preseason. Hell go undrafted in many leagues, but consider taking him in the final round as a flier.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com .

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- For the first time in five seasons under Urban Meyer, Ohio State lost a Big Ten regular-season road game. And its 20-game road winning streak also ended last Saturday night in State College, Pa., when Penn State pulled off a 24-21 upset.After a rare conference loss and a narrow overtime win on the road the previous week, the Buckeyes dropped from No. 2 to No. 6 in the latest Associated Press poll. They now trail Michigan by a game in the Big Ten East Division standings.It was the first defeat for Ohio State in October under Meyer, whose record dipped to a still-spectacular 56-5 with the Buckeyes.The good news for Ohio State (6-1, 3-1 Big Ten) is the loss doesnt damage its title aspirations. Win out the rest of the way, including a victory over Michigan in the traditional regular-season finale, and the Buckeyes will go to the Big Ten championship game in December in Indianapolis.Every goal is still alive, Meyer said after the loss. Were not a great team right now.Ohio State returns home this weekend to face Northwestern (4-3, 3-1) on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) in the first of two straight games in Ohio Stadium that could define the season. The following Saturday, the Buckeyes play host to No. 7 Nebraska.Neither game figures to be easy. Northwestern brings a three-game winning streak to Columbus. Nebraska, which plays at Wisconsin this weekend in his first reason test of the season, is unbeaten.Wow, that is as improved a team as Ive ever seen from beginning to now, Meyer said of Northwestern. Theyve had three big wins with two on the road. Their defense is outstanding.While the Wildcats are on a roll, the Buckeyes are licking their wounds after falling at Penn State. Though the Buckeyes have lost only five times since Meyers first season in 2012, they do have some experience bouncing back from tough losses.Last year, they fell at home to Michigan State late in the season but responded the following week with a win over Michigan. In 2014, after the stunning early-season loss to Virginia Tech at home, Ohio State ran the table and won the College Football Playoff national championship.Meyers Ohio State teams have lost two straight only once -- in 2013 when the Buckeyes were beaten by Michigan State in the Big Ten championship game and Clemson in the Orange Bowl.We have to move forward, Meyer said. You have to let it hurt for a while. If you lose a game, youre not a loser. If you lose a game, you accept it. That was the message to our players. ... It happened, so move on and get ready for a very good team coming iin here.ddddddddddddNorthwestern has rebounded after losing three of its first four games to start the season, winning three straight Big Ten games against Iowa, Michigan State and Indiana.Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald realizes the Buckeyes are a little different animal than their previous opponents.Now the heavy lifting starts, Fitzgerald said. Nobody has a stiffer challenge than us. We have to take on the Buckeyes.Northwestern has some weapons on offense to throw at Ohio State. Justin Jackson leads the Big Ten in rushing with 792 yards, Austin Carr is the conferences leading receiver with 50 catches for 720 yards and nine touchdowns, and Clayton Thorson is the third-leading passer, averaging 240.9 yards per game with 14 touchdowns.On defense, Columbus-area native Godwin Igwebuike is sixth in the Big Ten in tackles and Ohio native Ifeadi Odenigbo leads the conference in sacks with eight.Odenigbo definitely will catch Ohio States attention after the offensive line struggled against Penn States pass rush, giving up six sacks.The Buckeyes uncharacteristically let a 21-7 lead slip away against the Nittany Lions, when they were outscored 17-0 in the fourth quarter.Ohio State outgunned Penn State 413-276 in total yards and had a 17-minute advantage in time of possession, yet still couldnt come away with a win.The loss raised questions about Ohio States passing games -- in particular its offensive line play -- that had been bubbling toward the surface the past two games. Quarterback J.T. Barrett doesnt believe its a catastrophic issue.Overall, the passing game, I think we put our O-line in bad spots early on in drives, so we were second-and-long, said Barrett, who is closing in on a Big Ten career record with 90 combined touchdowns rushing and passing. I think that harmed us.Meyer doesnt expect any personnel changes this week on the offensive line, which gave up two sacks at the end of the game that stopped Ohio States final drive.There are a multitude of things (that went wrong), Meyer said. We did not play very well in a couple of areas on offense. What do you do? You identify it and work on it.(The offense) has regressed a little bit. Certainly there were plays to be made. If we hook up on those plays, we go on and win the game.Ohio State is a three-touchdown favorite to get back on track against Northwestern, which hasnt visited Columbus since 2007 and has lost 29 of the last 30 games between the teams.
