Fantasy Analysis: Sproles received the second most carries, having four less than running back Pierre Thomas (9). Sproles is easily the more dynamic playmaker, and is a major factor when this offense is rolling on all cylinders. As an option out of the backfield, Sproles is an elite specimen of a rare breed. He has game-breaking ability which makes him a highly coveted fantasy player, but he is yet to really show his worth this season. Sproles should get more involved as the season progresses, but he remains a fantasy must-start.
