Fantasy Sleepers

Blogger was fucking up last night, and I had originally done these last night as part of my fantasy RBs, but it deleted them. So here they are, my sleeper/alternative picks:

Darren Sproles, Saints


2011 stats: 87 rush, 603 yards, 6.9 YPC, 2 TD; 86 rec, 710 yards, 7 TD
2012 projections: 83 rush, 512 yards, 506 yards, 2 TD; 81 rec, 753 yards, 6 TD

Upside: Elusive, big play potential (big plays = points), playmaker

Downside: Production is up and down week to week, defenses game-planning more for him

Frank Gore, 49ers


2011 stats: 282 rush, 1211 yards, 4.3 YPC, 8 TD; 17 rec, 114 yards, 0 TD
2012 projections: 252 rush, 1111 yards, 4.4 YPC, 7 TD; 27 rec, 220 yards, 1 TD

Upside: Healthiest he's been in a while, still puts up solid numbers, good RB2

Downside: Workload reduced, signing of Brandon Jacobs, still risk for injury

DeMarco Murray, Cowboys


2011 stats: 163 rush, 895 yards, 5.5 YPC, 2 TD; 26 rec, 183 yds, 0 TD
2012 projections: 204 rush, 1061 yards, 5.2 YPC, 8 TD; 34 rec, 331 yds, 1 TD

Upside: High potential, quick & has good YPC

Downside: Coming off ankle injury, somewhat unproven (7 career starts)
