Eagles 'have a plan' to get Darren Sproles the ball 'steadily and consistently'

Eagles RB Darren Sproles had just 40 receptions last season, which was his fewest number of catches since 2008. Coach Chip Kelly said in the offseason that he wants to get Sproles more involved in the passing game this season. “We would like to get him the ball steadily and consistently,’’ OC Pat Shurmur said. “He’s a unique player. He’s as good as any receiver you have. And then you can hand him the football. We just need to make sure we get him the ball, and we have a plan to do that. We’ve got to find that smooth mix between (DeMarco Murray), Darren and (Ryan Mathews). And nothing says we can’t put all three of them in there at the same time, which would be kind of cool.’’

Fantasy Impact:

On just 8.0 touches per game, Sproles was the #12 PPR running back through the first six weeks. From Week 9 on, he averaged 5.4 touches and was the #26 RB in PPR formats during that span. The news this offseason has been mixed for Sproles. The team traded away LeSean McCoy, but replaced him with both Murray and Mathews, so Sproles’s carries seem unlikely to increase. There have been reports of Sproles lining up at receiver in minicamp and OTAs, and if that carries into the regular season, he has a chance to reemerge as a viable PPR back in his 10th year.

Eagles HC Chip Kelly said the 2014 NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray would be a full participant on Saturday after missing all of practice Thursday and sitting out most drills on Friday.

“He’s sick,” Kelly said. “He’s doing full today. He was just sick. There’s a couple guys that were sick that have been in and out. Jordan Matthews was sick and missed walkthrough [Friday].

“There’s something going around. We’re just getting him back up to speed, and he’s full go today.”

Tight end Zach Ertz and linebacker Mychal Kendricks also returned to practice after sitting out on Friday.

“They just had a nagging something,” Kelly said. “They’re both back today.”

Eagles Beat: 'Early guess' of a 50-30-15 split in backfield

Philly.com

Even if Ryan Mathews was No. 2 to DeMarco Murray's No. 1, the distribution of carries is unlikely to be as disparate as it was with LeSean McCoy over the previous two seasons. McCoy logged more than 64 percent of the Eagles' carries. The closest a backup got to him was Bryce Brown's 15 percent of rushes in 2013.

Chip Kelly hasn't put a number on how he'll divvy up the touches. Darren Sproles is also part of the equation. But a 50-30-15 split among the top three running backs would be an early guess.

Fantasy Impact:

We currently project a 57-27-8 split among Murray, Mathews and Sproles, and it results in a lower-than-average ranking of Murray, at least in PPR formats. If it is indeed a 50-30-15 split, then Murray probably won't provide good return at his current draft position.

DeMarco Murray sat because dehydration level 'a little high'

Two days later Chip Kelly explained why running back DeMarco Murray was not in team drills during Sunday's first training camp practice.

Apparently, the Eagles test every player every day for the dehydration levels and Murray came up, according to Kelly "a little high'' Sunday.

"It was a training staff decision,'' Kelly said Tuesday before the team's training session at Lincoln Financial Field. "Especially, with the way the weather has been, we didn't want to take any chances. It's not just for (Murray), we treat every player on a daily basis.''

Fantasy Impact:

That's the team's take, so it's good news for anyone who worried there was more to the story. Murray returned to practice on Monday.
