SUMMARY
Running Back Rank: #34   
Overall: #80


Sproles had a breakout season with the Chargers last year. He didn't get many chances early on, but made the most of some late-season starts. He scored five touchdowns his last four regular season games and accounted for 256 total yards and three touchdowns in two playoff games. Sproles is an exciting talent that makes things happen when he gets touches. He scored five receiving touchdowns on 29 receptions last year. He also is a top return man. Sproles has great speed and moves, but might lack the size to be an every-down back, making him more suitable to split the duties at running back.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Sproles won't fly under the radar this season. He is worth grabbing as a No. 3 back. Sproles can set career highs across the board with more touches, which is likely. A season with 800 or 900 total yards is possible.
The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles was held to just 26 rushing yards off 10 carries Week 2, but he caught seven passes for 124 receiving yards with one touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact: Sproles is a big-time total yardage threat every game, especially when he gets a chance to start.

The Associated Press reports San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles is unlikely to play in the team's final preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers Friday, Sept. 4. He has touched the ball 16 times in the preseason, including rushes, receptions and returns, which head coach Norv Turner thinks is enough for Sproles to be ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 14 against the Oakland Raiders.

Nick Canepa, of The San Diego Union-Tribune, reports San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2009 season. The team would like to sign him to a long-term deal. However, if the NFL is not able to complete a new CBA, he would become a restricted free-agent in an uncapped year.

Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports the San Diego Chargers have placed the franchise tag on RB Darren Sproles. The Chargers plan to continue to negotiate a long-term deal with Sproles, according to a source.
Fantasy Impact: Sproles has a chance to play a big role with the Chargers this coming season. They will be spending a lot of money to keep him.

Casey Pearce, of Chargers.com, reports San Diego Chargers RB Darren Sproles would be guaranteed a one-year, $6.221 million contract if the Chargers decide to use the franchise tag.
Fantasy Impact: That is a hefty price, but not too high to keep a guy like Sproles around with Tomlinson on his last legs.
