4. Philadelphia Eagles’ Darren Sproles

He is fun to watch, isn’t he? And boy do I wish that I had him on my fantasy team. When I heard he was heading to Chip Kelly’s system I couldn’t wait to see the result. And there he is, playing better than the Eagles’ lead back, LeSean McCoy. Sproles is averaging just over 10 yards per touch. McCoy has averaged a comparatively meager 3.7 yards per carry and 4.1 yards per touch. Sproles has been an absolute, explosive nightmare for teams.

The 5-foot-6 utility man can return anything you kick, punt and throw at him. He’s the most creative player with open space. He makes finding the end zone an art, and he paints his course down to the end of the field in paint strokes.
