Ron Chenoy-US PRESSWIRE
Sproles has 26 carries for 117 yards on the ground, and added 39 catches for 323 yards and four TDs.
Fantasy Impact: Massive loss to the Saints and fantasy owners. Sproles wasn’t doing much on the ground, but he was a PPR stud, racking up catches and YAC.
Pierre Thomas will attempt to step up and was a hot waiver claim when this news broke. He's a decent flex play against the Eagles.
