Analysis: Sproles is a great value in fantasy football, especially in PPR leagues, so it’s good to hear that he could play if this was a regular season game. He accounted for more than 1,300 total yards last season with 86 catches and 87 carries. New Orleans has a lot ways to spread the football around, but Sproles will get plenty of chances. He is not a No. 1 fantasy back but a solid No. 2 who can have some big games.
