Eagles RB Darren Sproles will have surgery Monday to repair a right wrist fracture he suffered in Sunday's win over the Giants, Philly.com's Les Bowen reports. Sproles also suffered ligament damage in the wrist. After that, he'll also reportedly need a knee MRI. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Sproles suffered an ACL tear in the game. Fantasy owners should just assume today that the veteran back is done for the season. The situation makes touches available to LeGarrette Blount, Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement. Smallwood led the Eagles in rushing Sunday while tying Blount for the carry lead. Blount and Clement each scored rushing TDs.

Update: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Sproles tore his ACL. He's done for the season.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles is believed to have broken his arm in Sunday's game against the Giants, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He's undergoing an MRI on Monday to learn more. Sproles is obviously looking at a lengthy absence and could certainly miss the rest of the season. It'd be a big loss for the Eagles offense. There's no one else on the roster that can replace Sproles' skill set in the passing game.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles exited in the 1st quarter of Sunday's game against the Giants. It looked like a knee injury, but the team is calling it a wrist. He's officially questionable to return.

Update: Sproles has been ruled out for the day.

Eagles HC Doug Pederson told reporters Monday that he doesn't plan to have 1 featured RB for the season and will work out the backfield rotation by week. That's never good news for fantasy football owners, but it's not a surprise. RB Wendell Smallwood split work -- 4 carries apiece -- with LeGarrette Blount in Smallwood's lone preseason appearance. Darren Sproles didn't log a single preseason touch but obviously remains in the 2017 plans. Rookies Donnel Pumphrey and Corey Clement made the initial 53-man roster but aren't likely to garner big gameday roles early in the season. Overall, this is not a backfield to invest much fantasy capital in. Sproles and Smallwood in the later rounds of drafts are the best shots to take right now. We'll see where the situation goes.

Eagles RBs LeGarrette Blount and Wendell Smallwood shared 1st-team reps in Thursday night's preseason game. Smallwood played 11 snaps in 4 series with QB Carson Wentz; Blount played 8. Smallwood carried 4 times for 28 yards, while Blount took his 3 totes for 18 yards. Both guys looked good, but the workload split could make this backfield a fantasy headache. Remember, too, that Darren Sproles will get some carries and dominate passing-down work. (He's been held out of preseason action.)

After creating some buzz in spring workouts, Eagles RB Donnel Pumphrey "has not stood out" lately, according to insider Jimmy Kempski. The rookie has had ball-security issues and has totaled 2 yards on 7 preseason carries. "For a player listed at 176 pounds to be an effective piece in the NFL, he better be ultra-explosive, or have some kind of elite skill set that sets him apart as a usable role player," Kempski writes. "I personally have not seen extreme explosiveness or any obvious elite traits." Pumphrey remains a fine dynasty stash but isn't worth a roster spot in redraft leagues. Darren Sproles is safe as Philly's change-of-pace, pass-catching RB.

Eagles insider Jimmy Kempski insinuates that RB Wendell Smallwood's roster spot could be in jeopardy. He's currently 4th on the depth chart behind LeGarrette Blount, Darren Sproles and Donnel Pumphrey, according to Kempski, and could be passed by Corey Clement. Smallwood was 5th-round pick a year ago and averaged a decent 4.1 yards per carry on 77 rookie-year totes. But the Eagles' additions to the backfield this offseason were a sign that they weren't overly impressed. Smallwood obviously isn't rosterable in redraft leagues.

Eagles RB Donnel Pumphrey has been getting "significant work" with the 1st-team offense, according to insider Zach Berman. The rookie has reportedly been busy as a pass catcher, even seeing some time in the slot. Pumphrey caught 99 balls across 4 seasons at San Diego State. We're not yet ready to consider him a 2017 fantasy option, but he could put a dent in RB Darren Sproles' receiving numbers.

The Eagles grabbed San Diego State RB Donnel Pumphrey in the 4th round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The pint-sized 5’8, 176-pounder was a college workhorse, compiling an FBS record 6,405 rushing yards on 1,059 totes over the past 4 years. Pumphrey also caught 99 balls. The size is obviously a concern, though, and he tested as a 15th percentile athlete for his position. On the plus side, Pumphrey can learn a lot from — and eventually replace — new teammate Darren Sproles.

Eagles RB Ryan Mathews has been diagnosed with a herniated disc and "will miss significant time," HC Doug Pederson said Friday. Mathews will finish the 2016 campaign with 661 yards and 8 TDs on 155 carries -- and another 3 games missed due to injury. We'll see if Philly brings him back at a $4 million salary next year. Darren Sproles and Byron Marshall will handle backfield duties for the Eagles in the season finale against the Cowboys.

Eagles RB Ryan Mathews suffered a stinger in the 4th quarter of Thursday night's win over the Giants. He mustered just 62 scoreless yards on 19 touches before exiting. We'll track Mathews' status this coming week. If he can't play in the finale vs. Dallas, Philly would be down to RBs Darren Sproles and Byron Marshall.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles (concussion) is active for tonight's game against the Giants. He shouldn't have any limitations but hasn't topped 7 carries in any of his last 5 games. Sproles is only a RB3 or flex option in PPR leagues.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles (concussion) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Giants. HC Doug Pederson said Monday that Sproles was on track to play, and he put in a full week of practice. He should be active tomorrow, but Sproles can't be trusted as more than a RB3 or flex in PPR leagues.

Eagles HC Doug Pederson said Monday that RB Darren Sproles (concussion) is on track to play against the Giants on Thursday night. He figures to return to a pass-catching role behind Ryan Mathews, although Philly's backfield has been unpredictable all year. Sproles' presence makes Mathews a bit riskier as a Week 16 fantasy starter.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens. RB Wendell Smallwood (knee) is also out, leaving Ryan Mathews as the likely feature back. The problem is a matchup with the league's top-ranked RB defense. Mathews is a volume-based, low-end RB2 for Week 15.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles was concussed when he took a vicious shot to the head on a punt return in Sunday's loss to the Redskins. It's the 3rd known concussion of his NFL career. We'll track his progress through the protocol this week, but consider him no better than 50/50 to play against the Ravens on Sunday. With RB Wendell Smallwood expected to miss that one with his knee injury, RB Ryan Mathews figures to be in for a big workload. The tough matchup leaves him as just a lower-end RB2, though.

Eagles RB Darren Sproles caught a 4-yard TD pass in Sunday's loss to Washington, highlighting an otherwise forgettable day. Sproles snared just 1 other reception among 3 total targets, despite Carson Wentz attempting 46 throws. Sproles added 27 yards on 5 carries. He'll remain a marginal fantasy option going forward.

Eagles RB Wendell Smallwood injured his knee in Sunday's game against the Redskins and will not return. He finishes with 3 carries for 3 yards. His absence leaves Philly with RBs Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles.

ESPN's Adam Schefter doesn't expect Eagles RB Ryan Mathews (ankle) to play a "primary role" against the Redskins today. Mathews' volume has been unpredictable all season, and Schefter suggests that rookie RB Wendell Smallwood will be the lead ball-carrier today. Darren Sproles, of course, will continue to dominate pass-catching work. This is a backfield better off avoided in Week 14 fantasy lineups.
