Darren Sproles injury update: Fantasy value up with probable Week 12 status
New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles (hand) is probable for Week 12. We breakdown the fantasy implications.
Kim Klement-US PRESSWIRE
He seems to be coming to the end of his injury, having multiple full practice sessions this week. The Saints are going to need him against that fierce 49ers D.
Fantasy Analysis: Sproles will be active for the game versus the 49ers today. The Saints are at home where they usually operate on all cylinders.
This will be a rematch of the NFC Divisional Playoffs; a game where Sproles had 15 receptions for 118 yards and a touchdown. With Drew Brees likely running for his life, Sproles could once again get a lot of looks. However, he will be sharing the load in a crowded backfield. Sproles is a high-end flex today.
