ArticleWeek 7 Offensive Sleepers
From the article
Kiner is a hail mary from the waiver wire this week, but if Mike Vrabel is the one on the line to answer the prayer, you might get a fantasy football miracle. Kiner closed out the win over the Jets with tough running and appears to be one of Vrabel's favorites, as the head coach defended his decision after the game. The Bears defense is not stout, but they can be protected by their offense putting together long drives and staking the defense to a lead so they don't have to face a run-heavy attack. If the Patriots want to cut them off at the pass by establishing the run first, Kiner could be a big ingredient, with the team's offensive line banged up and probably unable to protect Drake Maye enough to go pass-heavy, despite the need to keep up with Ben Johnson.
STACKED’s take
Negative signalSleeper
Kiner could be Vrabel's run-game centerpiece if Patriots establish early run vs. Bears.
Kiner is a waiver wire dart in Week 7 vs. Chicago; he closed out the Patriots' win over the Jets with tough running and appears to be a Mike Vrabel favorite (the head coach defended his usage after the game); if New England establishes the run early to keep Chicago's offense off the field and avoid facing a run-heavy attack, Kiner could be valuable despite the Patriots' banged-up offensive line limiting pass protection.
