I am continuing my week on deep sleeper profiles with a guy who has been getting some buzz, Phillip Lindsay. Who is Phillip Lindsay? Well, let's take a look!

Let's start out with the negatives. This guy is small for an NFL running back. At 5 foot 8 inches and 190 pounds, I'm not sure the guy can make it a whole season. But, that won't stop coaches from trying!

This man is FAST. He ran a 4.39 40 at his pro day, had a 35.5-inch vertical jump, and nearly a 10.5-foot broad jump. To put that into perspective, that would have made him the second fastest running back in the draft. If you want to see some videos here is the link.

It's not just the speed and ability I like, it is the fact that he is getting opportunities in the pre-season and capitalizing. Here's a video of a 19 yard TD from week one.

Lindsay needs to continue making plays like this to stay on the roster, but I think he can! I don't know why. Maybe it's his speed? Maybe it's because he went to school in Colorado and is becoming a local hero? Maybe I am just rooting for the underdog? Maybe the fact that he can catch the ball will make him a Darren Sproles like player in the future (he is a few inches taller than Sproles). Still, he is behind Devantae Booker, Royce Freeman, Deangelo Henderson, David Williams, and then my man, Lindsay according to ourlads.com.

Let me leave you with this. Lindsay LED the team in receiving. Three receptions for 40 yards and he averaged 3.5 yards per carry when it came to rushing. Currently, the guy is going undrafted. I recommend him as a stash in keeper, and dynasty formats an especially PPR.
