  • Sproles focused on being more patient: Saints running back Darren Sproles is working on becoming a more patient runner this offseason. While he'll continue his offseason workouts with Drew Brees and others on the West Coast, Sproles wants to take his already good field vision and become a bit more patient as a runner. Saints fullback Jed Collins told the official team website that Sproles' developed patience could make him an even better player. "I don't think the average fan understands how great his vision is," said Collins. "He has even helped me in knowing where people are going to be after the snap, their responsibilities and coverages. His vision helps in setting up blocks, making the first guy miss and knowing where the second guy is coming from."

    Fantasy Analysis
    If you draft Sproles, you're banking on him coming through as a pass catcher more than a rusher, which isn't necessarily an issue since he has been excellent out of the backfield. He basically matched his 2011 receiving totals in 13 games. But his rushing woes were evident as he had just 48 handoffs all year thanks to four games of no handoffs and seven with five or fewer. That makes Sproles a risk as a Top 20 running back but not quite as a low-end No. 2 option in a standard league. Obviously the receptions he's expected to handle push him up in PPR formats to a very solid No. 2 option. He's worth a late fourth-round pick in standard leagues and a third-round pick in PPR formats this summer.
