How will the New Orleans Saints do this season?
Asked in: Chase Daniel, Chris Ivory, Daniel Graham, Darren Sproles, David Thomas, Devery Henderson, Drew Brees, Garrett Hartley, Heath Evans, Jeremy Shockey, Jimmy Graham, Julius Jones, Ladell Betts, Lance Moore, Mark Ingram, Marques Colston, New Orleans D/ST, Pierre Thomas, Robert Meachem
They'll fight for the wildcard with the likes of the Giants, Bears, and Bucs. Probably 9-7 or 10-6.
How involved will Sproles be in the Saints passing game?

Lance Moore officially OUT for Week 1. Who most reaps the whirlwind?
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram, Marques Colston, Robert Meachem, Jimmy Graham, Lance Moore
will LaDainian Tomlinson, Tashard Choice, Deji Karim, Kendall Hunter, Marion Barber do what Sproles did to green bay in rest of opening weekend
Asked in: Darren Sproles
I doubt it. Barber is out I think, Hunter/Choice won't get many carries. I'd say if anyone does it will be LT.
I've got one bench spot open, who gets it.... Sproles, Moore, or Henderson?
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Lance Moore, Devery Henderson
Depends on your WR and RB depth and also if it is a PPR league. In a PPR setting I love Sproles. He could lead NO in receptions this year.
If Stephen Jackson is out for week 2, should I go with Reggie Bush or Sproles?
Asked in: Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, Running Backs, St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints
If you take a look at the numberFire player comparison, the projections aren't even close. Bush is supposed to take down 6 more fantasy points. Granted, that's standard Y! league format. Are you in a PPR, and/or do returns net you separate points?
Will starting Chris Johnson leave me filled with self-loathing in a 2RB/flex league?
Asked in: Chris Johnson, Tim Hightower, Pierre Thomas, LeGarrette Blount, Darren Sproles
You took him in the first round so you have to play him. This should be his breakout week now that he's had plenty of reps in the offense and should be getting out of "lockout mode". If he doesn't put up decent number after this week 1. I'd be worried, 2. I would bench him until he proves otherwise.
Pick two. Patrick Crayton/Willis McGahee/Darren Sproles/Felix Jones(or demarco murry pending injury)
Asked in: Patrick Crayton, Willis McGahee, Darren Sproles, Felix Jones, DeMarco Murray
Trade Wallace for CJ?
Asked in: Roddy White, Mike Wallace, Steve Smith (CAR), Brandon Jacobs, Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Darren Sproles
Definitely. I think CJ will turn it around and you can't get him at a lower value than right now.
Week 4 - Darren Sproles or Daniel Thomas?
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Daniel Thomas, New Orleans Saints, Miami Dolphins
Sproles or Felix Jones?
Asked in: Felix Jones, Darren Sproles
Pick 1: Santonio Holmes, Ladainian Tomlinson, Denarius Moore, Robert Meachem, Darren Sproles
Asked in: Santonio Holmes, Ladainian Tomlinson, Denarius Moore, Robert Meachem, Darren Sproles
I'd go with Holmes I think but can't really go wrong with any of them.
Trade Bowe, Felix Jones, and Forte for Roddy, Blount, Sproles, Davis?
Asked in: Dwayne Bowe, Felix Jones, Matt Forte, Roddy White, LeGarrette Blount, Darren Sproles, Vernon Davis
That would be a no-go for me! In long run I think Bowe will be better than Roddy, Felix and Sproles are a wash to me. But Forte is too much of Chi offense for me to give up. Blount has a pretty difficult schedule until week 15
Week 5 - Sproles over Best / Moore over Knox?
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Jahvid Best, Lance Moore, Johnny Knox, New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears
I would say give the projections a day or two to settle in with injuries and weather, but yeah, the algorithm certainly loves Sproles right now.
Cam Newton
Asked in: Cam Newton, Darren Sproles, Dez Bryant, Mark Ingram, Kevin Kolb
I think you can do better than those offers, but Bryant is decent. I traded Newton for Bowe last week and after his performance against the Bears, could probably get more than that.
Cam Newton
Asked in: Cam Newton, Darren Sproles, Dez Bryant
Yeah Ingram has little to no value right now and Kolb is pretty worthless except as a bye week fill in.
Darren Sproles and Victor Cruz for Dwane Bowe
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Dwayne Bowe, Denarius Moore
Even if you did trade them away and picked up Bowe . that would still leave you one man short come week 7. Djax and Welker share bye weeks. unless you play 2 wr's and a flex then it's okay!
Sproles Orton Eagles D for Benson, Fitzpatrick, Mike Williams (TB)
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Cedric Benson, Ryan Fitzpatrick
Who are your starters/what are your starting roster spots. Straight up that sounds great for you, but depends who you got
Second RB? Darren Sproles or Stevan Ridley? Sproles has been consistently putting up numbers but he's more a flex position...
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Stevan Ridley
Hightower or Torain? Need help at RB and Flex
Asked in: Ryan Torain, Tim Hightower, Daniel Thomas, Darren Sproles, Peyton Hillis, Pierre Garcon
I would roll with Torain here.. I always like RB's at flex spot and HIghtower has been limited all week with his shoulder.. so you should go with Hillis, Sproles and Torain
MJD and Santonio Holmes for Vincent Jackson and Sproles
Asked in: Maurice Jones-Drew, Santonio Holmes, Vincent Jackson, Darren Sproles
I think you are downgrading too much from MJD to Sproles. MJD has been putting up solid numbers despite not finding the end zone. If the Jaguars can get into the red zone ever, MJD's numbers will skyrocket. I would hate to have to start Starks.
who do you think will do better this week?
Asked in: Willis McGahee, Darren Sproles
I would go Sproles due to the fact he is involed in the pass game as well so he should total a 100 yds and a possible 2td, McGahee who and have to start this wk I'm afraid that DEN may start running Tebow and take away from McGahee carries.
Who should i start?
Asked in: DeMarco Murray, Daniel Thomas, Willis McGahee, Darren Sproles
I like Murray, Sproles and McGahee. Those are by far the best match-ups for you! It has already been reported that Murray will get a bulk of the carries over Choice, and even before Tebow took over Den said they were going to go into a heavy run offense. Then there is Sproles who is Brees's number 3 WR!
Sproles, Murray, or Gore?
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Frank Gore
I'd take risk on Murray and go with Murray and Sproles. No doubt Gore is very good starter but this week Gore is playing Cleveland which gave few points to RB.
Sproles, Murray or Gore?
Asked in: Darren Sproles, DeMarco Murray, Frank Gore
I gotta say Frank Gore. He's been killing it these past few weeks. Plus I don't think you can expect that from Demarco Murray every week. Granted the Phillies Defense has had a horrible ability to stop the run, I think Gore is the better more proven back.
Who Should I Drop? Pick 2
Asked in: Jahvid Best, Darren Sproles, DeMarco Murray, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Willis McGahee, Ryan Torain, Knowshon Moreno
Moreno is the worst, although he is starting this week. Definitely one of the Denver RBs
Which two should I start - Lesean McCoy, Darren Sproles or DeMarco Murray?
Asked in: Lesean McCoy, Darren Sproles, DeMarco Murray
Agreed...McCoy and Sproles are solid options. It would be nice to see Murray in a flex spot if you have one, unless you've got a great WR there already, I think he has at least some great short-term value at least.
Ryan Mathews or Darren Sproles this week?
Asked in: Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles, Running Backs
flip the coin - both will have big days - i'm going with Mathews.
Sub out CJ for Steven Jackson?
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Chris Johnson, Steven Jackson, DeMarco Murray, Hakeem Nicks, Marques Colston, Cam Newton
Pick Two: Sproles vs STL, McCoy vs DAL, or Fred Jackson vs WAS
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Fred Jackson, Lesean McCoy
That's awesome that you have all those guys. Has Fred Jackson had a disappointing outing this season? I'd go him and LeSean. My personal feeling is that the Eagles come out fired up, and Lesean's been beast all season.
sit/start: Demarco murray or Darren sproles?
Asked in: DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproles
Both are very startable at this point. Sproles may be the safer play. NO is a great home team! TB also gives up more yards and TD's to RB's.
pick two sidney rice, plaxico burress, demarco murray, darren sproles
Asked in: Sidney Rice, Plaxico Burress, DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproles
aaron rodgers,- sproles - f-jax , v -jax , jennings, cruz , jerm finely , nick novak and pittsburgh def.. how do you think my teams is gunna do tomarrow ??
Asked in: Aaron Rodgers, Darren Sproles, Fred Jackson, Vincent Jackson, Greg Jennings, Jermichael Finley, Pittsburgh D/ST
I think you will do well. They all have some good match-ups!! maybe except for Pit D. It should be a low scoring game I feel. They just haven't caused to many turnovers this season. I like that you will get Double points for Jennings and Rodgers. VJax is the only one I'm not sure of with a struggling Rivers.
Sproles v 23rd ranked TB run D or Cruz v 32nd ranked NE pass D at flex today?
Asked in: Darren Sproles
I normally like Rb's in flex spots, But I think Cruz is going to have a really good game today. I would go Cruz
Sproles v 23rd ranked TB run D or Cruz v 32nd ranked NE pass D at flex today?
Asked in: Darren Sproles
Oh man this is a tough on Sproles get his in both run and pass, Cruz will be the top target for Eli today, but I go Sproles because he is more involved in the run
Should I trade Roy Helu and Torrey Smith for Darren Sproles
Asked in: Roy Helu, Torrey Smith, Darren Sproles
Michael Bush or Darren Sproles?
Asked in: Michael Bush, Darren Sproles
Doesn't seem like you can go wrong. I would be tempted to use Bush since McFadden is out and he's definitely the start. Sproles does seem to be a consistent good bet; Bush probably has the most upside. I would start Bush.
I have Frank Gore, Beanie Wells, Darren Sproles, Ben Tate, and Willis McGahee and one spot left. Who should I start?
Asked in: Beanie Wells, Darren Sproles, Frank Gore
The Giants have been giving up 4.6YPC to guys who aren't half as good as Frank Gore. I would definitely start him- he's the best RB in the list. The question is, who are your other RB and flex that McGahee, Wells, and Sproles aren't also already starting?
Which 4 to Start Week 12: Welker, Cruz, D Jackson, B Marshall, Sproles?
Asked in: Wes Welker, DeSean Jackson, Brandon Marshall, Darren Sproles
Welker, Sproles, Marshall, and Jackson (if Maclin is out). If Maclin plays, I would start Cruz over DeSean.
Need to start two: Reggie Bush (vs Oakland), Sproles (vs. Detroit), Helu (vs Jets), Hillis (vs) Baltimore, or Morris (vs. NO).
Asked in: Reggie Bush, Darren Sproles, Roy Helu, Peyton Hillis, Maurice Morris
Bush has the best match-up! then I will say Sproles next. Others are not worth it. wouldn't even consider hillis against Bal.
Line-up team 2!!
Asked in: Roddy White, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, Fred Davis, Anquan Boldin, Darren Sproles, DeMarco Murray
Darren Sproles or Brandon Marshall
Asked in: Brandon Marshall, Miami Dolphins, Darren Sproles, New Orleans Saints, Wide Receivers, Running Backs
Marshall feels more consistent, although Sproles is dynamic. I'll say Marshall. Remember to answer a few questions for each one you ask!
pick 2 reciever and 1 flex
Asked in: Laurent Robinson, Plaxico Burress, Darren Sproles, Nate Burleson, Brandon Marshall
A.P or Sproles?
Asked in: Adrian Peterson, Darren Sproles
Tough call. Probably go with AP since he should be full speed this week.
quick- down 4, going against jimmy graham tonight- sproles or kahlil bell
Asked in: Darren Sproles, Jimmy Graham, Tony Romo
I would roll the dice on Bell, given the fact that he will see the most touches and because the GB defense is rather generous to RBs. Sproles can be somewhat inconsistent (like all Saints skill players) though he might have a higher upside. Sproles will wind up with 10-12 touches, while Bell should see 20 . In PPR leagues they should be about even, while in standard scoring I like Bell a bit more.
