The Facts:
Of all the RB prospects that have popped up on the rumor mill (Darren Sproles, Reggie Bush, Cadillac Williams, Steve Slaton), team insiders tell us the name continuing to generate the most positive buzz is that of Sproles, who would appear to offer a particularly appealing change of pace to Steven Jackson.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Rams need to fill the badly needed backup role behind Jackson. Williams was reportedly of great interest to the team earlier this year, but it appears Sproles is now the favorite. "He has the name recognition and added value on special teams," one insider told PFW when asked about Sproles, who played his college ball at Kansas State. "I don't see 'Cadillac' coming here. I think for him to leave Tampa Bay, it would have to be for a starting role. ..." Indeed, the latest word on Williams is that he's only likely to leave Tampa for a starting job. Bush is likely too expensive and Slaton doesn't appear to have all the skills necessary. ... If nothing else, the player who signs with the Rams will be of interest to Fantasy Football owners visa vis his ability to cut into Jackson's workload (or serve as a possible handcuff). We'll be following up.
