November 8, 2009 Darren Sproles caught five passes for 22 yards in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Giants. Our View:This was one of Sproles' more disappointing outings of the season. He rushed the ball just once for a single yard and totaled only 38 yards on two kick returns. Of his receptions, one went for 21 yards, while the other four netted him just one total yard. Hopefully the Chargers aren't phasing him out of the running game, as he's only received one carry in the last two weeks combined. |

October 4, 2009 Darren Sproles failed to receive one rushing attempt in the Chargers' 38-28 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. Our View:He also reeled in only one pass. It's unlikely, though, that he is being phased out of the Chargers offense, as the team rushed only seven times all night, opting instead to exclusively pass after falling behind 21-0 early. He did contribute 154 yards on six kick returns, however, and Week 4 was likely just an aberration in terms of his offensive production. That being said, the Chargers do not seem keen on treating him like a feature running back, and his value will probably continue to be limited beyond starting at flex spots. |

September 27, 2009 Darren Sproles rushed 18 times for 41 yards and caught two passes for 14 yards in the Week 3 win over the Dolphins. The 18 rushing attempts were a career-high for a regular season contest. Our View:Sproles ran 22 times in last season's playoff win over the Colts. He is a dynamic talent, but Sproles isn't really built to be a 20-touch player. The Chargers could have LaDainian Tomlinson back for Week 4, and Sproles would return to being a change-of-pace and third-down back. |
|
September 25, 2009 With LaDainian Tomlinson out with a sprained ankle, Darren Sproles will again start at running back for the Chargers this weekend, according to the Our View:Sproles rushed for only 26 yards on ten carries in L.T.'s absence in Week 2, but also caught seven balls for a sparkling 124. After the Colts picked up a number of big plays on the Dolphins' defense last week, look for Sproles and the Chargers to do the same. |

September 20, 2009 Starting in place of LaDanian Tomlinson, Darren Sproles carried the ball only 10 times for 26 yards. However, he also had seven catches for 124 yards, including an 81-yard touchdown on a screen pass. He also picked up 128 yards on four kick returns. Our View:The 26 yards on the ground won't impress anyone, but Sproles managed to pick up 252 yards in other situations. His value in PPR leagues should be rising faster than in others, but he should continue to get regular touches even once Tomlinson returns. |
