BALLER MOVE: Target in Later Rounds for FLEX Upside in PPR
CURRENT ADP: 128 STD, 120 PPR
ANALYSIS: I think we all know what Darren Sproles brings to the table for fantasy football purposes. The boom-or-bust running back can be a PPR monster one week, and get very few snaps another week bringing disappointment. But let's not forget that he plays for arguable the best offense in football (led by Sam Bradford, DeMarco Murray,Ryan Mathews, Jordan Matthews and company), with the best offensive minds calling the shots.
The Eagles have already stated that they want Sproles more involved in the offense, and that's exactly what we like to hear when searching for PPR sleepers. In addition to getting targets out of the backfield, the Eagles have been working on getting Sproles involved as a wide receiver as well. It remains to be seen how he will be utilized, and how consistent he will be week-to-week - but this looks like a situation where a "cheap" player can outperform their draft day cost.
Currently Sproles has a PPR ADP of 119 (or the 44th running back being drafted), and is only 38% owned in fantasy leagues. Stash the human swiss army knife on your PPR roster, and keep your fingers crossed for a sneaky PPR stud.
