2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on Aug-13-2012 by Vin Sadicario

Darren Sproles broke out last season, moving from a third down scat back, to one of the league's top playmaking running backs. The shifty running back totalled more than 1300 total yards and nine touchdowns, making him a top 20 fantasy running back. The Saints will look to get Sproles on the field as much as possible this season, making it likely that he finishes the season with similar numbers to the ones he put up in 2011. Fantasy owners should view Sproles as a good RB2, with even higher potential in point per reception leagues.

Darren Sproles was drafted in 100% of MyFantasyLeague.com leagues with an average drafting position of 45.38
