Summary

Running Back Rank: #23All Players: #53

A hand injury knocked Sproles out of three games last season but he was productive once again when healthy. His rushing totals were down compared to last season but he still managed 911 total yards and eight touchdowns in 13 games. He got plenty of weekly touches and played well with his chances. Sproles has been targeted more than 100 times each of the last two seasons and has 161 receptions. He is an integral part of the Saints passing game. Sproles probably is the best third-down or change-of-pace back in the game. He fits the role perfectly. Sproles has great speed and moves, but lacks the ideal size to be an every-down back. He also is a great return man, having return scores four of the last six seasons.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Sproles is an elite back in PPR leagues but a solid No. 2 back in all other formats. He should improve on his yardage totals from last season as long as he can stay healthy. We look for him to get around 1,000 total yards and nine touchdowns.
