New Orleans Saints RB Darren Sproles (hand) was upgraded to a full practice Thursday, boding well for his status in Week 11 against the Oakland Raiders. Sproles missed the last two games after getting surgery on a fractured hand.
Darren Sproles upgraded to full practice Thursday, expected to make fantasy return Sunday
Darren Sproles (hand) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, and his status is looking good for Week 11. We break down the fantasy implications.
Ron Chenoy-US PRESSWIRE
Sproles was limited in practice Wednesday, so the midweek upgrade greatly improves his chances of suiting up Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: He may be listed as probable or questionable in Friday's injury reports, but so far it sounds like all systems go for Sproles' return this week. The Saints' backfield is incredibly muddy with the emergence of Chris Ivory and Mark Ingram, but I expect Sproles to continue getting his touches.
Fantasy owners, particularly PPR players, can pencil Sproles back in their lineup this week. He has a good matchup against Oakland’s atrocious defense.
