FOX Sports' Jay Glazer is reporting that New Orleans Saints RB Darren Sproles (hand) will not play against the Oakland Raiders Sunday. This news is a complete 180 from previous reports, which expected Sproles to be active. Glazer says that, barring a sudden change of heart, Sproles will sit and let his surgically-repaired hand one more week to heal.
Darren Sproles may not play Sunday: Fantasy implications
FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer reports that Darren Sproles may be a last-minute scratch. We break down the fantasy implications.

Sproles missed the last two games with surgery on a fractured hand.
Fantasy Impact: Holy contradicting reports, Batman. Adam Schefter and Jason La Confara have previously reported that Sproles will play. Does Glazer know something they don’t?
The Saints don’t kickoff until 4:05, so we won’t know his game status for a couple more hours. But it doesn’t look for fantasy owners. I would go ahead and pull him from your lineups now.
