Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As FOXSports.com's Alex Marvez notes, Sproles doesn’t have the same physical size as Bush, who was traded Thursday to the Dolphins. But like Bush, the 5-6, 190-pound Sproles does have outstanding pass-catching skills out of the backfield. Sproles also is a capable blocker on blitz pickups and can potentially assume return duties for the Saints as well. Sproles also worked out extensively this offseason with Saints QB Drew Brees. The two were Chargers teammates in Sproles’ 2005 rookie season before Brees signed with the Saints in free agency the following season.
