Falling: Darren Sproles

Aside from his performance on special teams, Darren Sproles had a down game on Sunday against the Browns. He had five carries for 12 yards and caught two of his five targets for 24 yards. It was just an uninspiring performance that Sproles wish he could take back.

One thing that was interesting about Sunday was the fact that Pederson put him in for more snaps than Ryan Mathews and Sproles lined up all over the field. That could mean that Pederson has alot of plans for Sproles when bigger games come up down the road.
