PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Tennessee
Reports say the Eagles are thinking about a move to make Darren Sproles as the team's RB1. That move has already seemed to happen as Sproles had 15 carries for 86 yards and five catches for 17 yards. The 20 touches is the most he's had this season and was coming off back-to-back weeks where he has just five touches per game.

Sproles is 33 and likely won't hold up with that kind of workload, but he's the only back the team seems to trust right now, as both Ryan Mathews and Wendell Smallwood have had fumbles that essentially cost the team two wins. The Giants are 20th in allowing fantasy points to RBs, so Sproles seems like a pretty solid option this week even in standard formats. He comes with risks though, but it appears the Eagles want to try and get more out of him until someone else steps up. He's still safer for PPR leagues, but he's a low-end RB2 even on our standard list.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Dallas
Darren Sproles again saw limited work last week, in what we all knew was going to be a tough matchup against the Vikings. He carried the ball just three times for 26 yards and added two catches for 23 yards on three targets. Sproles now has just five touches in each of the last two games after averaging close to 10 the first four games. This week's matchup isn't much better, as the Cowboys are ninth in allowing fantasy points to RBs. Sproles just isn't getting enough touches now to make him a safe play.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Minnesota
Darren Sproles had just four carries for 20 yards and only added one catch for four yards last week. The five touches were well below his average of close to 10 per game. The Birds had been using Sproles pretty wisely so far this year, but this was certainly a clunker for owners who played him. This week, it's a tough matchup, and Sproles is 38th among PPR backs. There's always potential there for owners of Sproles in deeper PPR leagues, but he'll need to be used more than he was in Week 6, so he's a risky play in a not-so-great matchup.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Washington
Darren Sproles had a nice game in Week 5, rushing five times for 45 yards and collecting four catches for 23 yards giving him 10 points in typical PPR leagues. Sproles gets a nice matchup in Week 6 against the Redskins who are 29th in allowing fantasy points against RBs. The Eagles are expected to use a heavy dose of the run this week on the road. Interestingly last week, Wendell Smallwood and Kenjon Barner didn't get a carry after the Birds fell behind early. That certainly isn't a lock week to week, but Sproles' workload seems pretty consistent this year, averaging just under 10 total touches per game. He gets a nice rank this week in a great matchup, but is still best suited for deeper PPR leagues.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Detroit
After carrying the ball 12 times in Week 2 against the Bears, Darren Sproles had just two carries for minus-one yard in Week 3. He's done the most damage as a receiver, catching six balls for 128 yards (including a 70-plus yard TD catch).

This was Sproles' biggest day catching the ball in quite some time, and it's encouraging the team is getting Sproles more involved in the game plan. He seems to be part of a four-headed monster at RB, and is averaging more than nine touches a game so far this season. Despite his big day in Week 3, Sproles is still best used in deeper PPR leagues.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 3, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Pittsburgh
It was Darren Sproles who had the most rushes last week, not Ryan Mathews. Sproles carried 12 times for 40 yards and added two more catches, but for only eight yards. Sproles and the Eagles rushing game get a tough matchup this week as the Steelers are fourth in allowing fantasy points to RBs. However, this may be the week Sproles busts out in the passing game as there's a good chance the Eagles will have to keep pace or play from behind in this contest. Sproles is still further down our PPR list and is probably only safer for a little deeper PPR leagues. He has just four catches for 32 yards over the first two weeks.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Chicago
Darren Sproles got seven touches in Week 1, rushing five times for 12 yards and catching two passes for 24. He also had a nice punt return. Kenjon Barner actually seemed more like the team's RB2 which could end up being the case much of the season. Wendell Smallwood will also be more involved. Sproles is likely to have a bigger role in the passing game, but the Eagles led for the entire game which kept Sproles receptions down. He has potential in deep PPR leagues, but with Barner a similar kind of back, the Eagles may be very careful how they use Sproles this season.
