PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Green Bay
Darren Sproles is getting on the field as much as Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard, but only has four touches the past two games. He is being used to block more in the passing game and on third-down situations.

Even with a decent matchup against the Packers, Sproles is not involved enough to take a bench spot at this time. Keep him on the waiver wire or drop him if there are better options in your league.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs Detroit
Darren Sproles went from 12 touches in Week 1 to two in Week 2. Part of that was because Sproles was injured Sunday night, but is expected to play. He still played 35% of the snaps which is more than his teammate Jordan Howard, but a lot of that is coming on third downs.

Sproles will face a below-average Detroit defense this week, but he has very little fantasy value in standard leagues because he won't carry the ball much. He does have some value in PPR leagues as the third-down back. But for Week 3, keep him on the bench.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Atlanta
Veteran Darren Sproles had the best production of any Eagles running back last week as he ended up with 12 touches for 63 yards. He is still third on the depth chart but did get on the field for 31% of the snaps which was actually more than backup RB Jordan Howard. Sproles is 36 years old but still can play.

The Falcons are up next and are 25th in aFPA to running backs. Sproles production is encouraging and against a poor defense should be similar but the time on the field is limited because of Howard and Miles Sanders. Not enough value there for Sproles to be on your roster quite yet.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 19 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 19 at New Orleans Saints

Just how charmed the Nick Foles-led Eagles are will be tested this week, as the Super Bowl MVP and winner of four consecutive games travels to New Orleans where Philadelphia lost by 41 in Week 11. The Birds have the third lowest implied team total this week at 21.75 points. The Saints rank top five in aFPA to RBs. Their tough defensive front makes every Eagles' back in their RBBC a low-floor risk. Sproles would be the best option in PPR formats.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Washington Redskins

The Eagles offensive starters will be full-go in Week 17, as Philadelphia hopes to sneak back into the playoffs with a win and Vikings loss. With Nick Foles at the helm, this offense has posted back-to-back weeks of 30 points or more. Vegas has set a lower implied total for Philly this week at 24, despite the Eagles being installed as 6.5-point favorites. Washington may be only ranked 21st in aFPA to RBs, but this backfield is a full-blown committee. In back-to-back weeks, three running backs in this offense have seen at least five touches. If there's a dart throw in PPR leagues, it's Sproles, but he's extremely risky.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Houston Texans

Jolly Ol' St. Nick Foles brought presents yet again to Philadelphia fans last week, and with playoff hopes still alive, Foles may come down the chimney yet again. Against Houston, Philly has an implied team total of 23.75 points, a little better than average for the Week 16 slate. The Texans rank seventh in aFPA to RBs, foreshadowing tough sledding for Eagles RBs this week. Darren Sproles has seen just four, four and six touches since returning from injury. That's not enough to make him a FLEX option for Week 16.

PHI RB Darren Sproles - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Los Angeles Rams

The defending Super Bowl champs continue to suffer major injuries to starting positions, with the latest in the form of a back injury for Carson Wentz. Insert the Super Bowl MVP against his former team, as Nick Foles comes back to the spotlight. What does it mean for the ground game? The Rams are 11th in aFPA to RBs this season, and this game has an over/under of more than 50, but the Eagles have an implied team total of less than 20. Extreme negative game script could affect Josh Adams, leading to more playing time for Darren Sproles with Corey Clement on IR, but that's a serious dart throw to play Sproles at this point in the season.
