7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 15

Darren Sproles, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

Yahoo! Ownership: 7%

Finally healthy, Darren Sproles is poised to take on a larger share of the backfield responsibilities for the Philadelphia Eagles this week with Corey Clement placed on injured reserve.

After playing just 9 snaps in Week 13 -- his first action since Week 1 -- Sproles led the Eagles' running backs with 22 snaps (42%) played against the Dallas Cowboys last week. While Josh Adams still handled the bulk of the rushing workload, Sproles took over as the primary passing-down back after Clement left with a knee sprain. He finished with 3 catches for 34 yards and a touchdown. His score came in the final minutes of the game, as Philly was chasing points, something they are likely to be doing this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.

Facing the Rams on Sunday, a pass-heavy game script is likely in the cards for the Eagles -- 12.5-point underdogs -- leaving Sproles plenty of opportunities against a beatable defense. The Rams have given up over 360 total yards and 24 points per game with running backs racking up the ninth-most rushing yards per game (103.5).

Even with a championship berth on the line, don't be afraid to plug Sproles into your flex spot in deep PPR leagues this Sunday.
