Sproles or Fred Jackson for FLEX?

This is a tough one for the FLEX:

Sproles coming off possible knee issue news has potential in the return game front, receiving front, and rushing front and is playing at home.

Then, Fred Jackson of the Bills going against the Jets on the road where the Jets will give the Bills ample possessions due to their inept offense thus guaranteeing Fred Jackson a lot of touches.

I am leaning towards Sproles right now. Should I stick with it?

You helped me, so I help you :)

Personally I would roll with Sproles, one thing to take into account is Fred Jackson is 31, and coming off of a long off-season, only put up 89 yards and a fumble vs the Jets last time he played them.

Sproles is a favorite target of Brees so he would steal the show in the passing game as well.

I like Sproles but I am scared of how much he will be spelled for Ingram or any other back inNew Orleans. It seems that New Orleans, Washington and New England have the most hard to start RB's than any other team in the NFL.

If it was me I would go with Jackson and hope that he does what he did last year. Fred Jackson has outstanding talent and I wondered why Buffalo even drafted C. J. Spiller when they had him on the team. If he stays healthy he is my choice but keep Sproles for BYE week and injury week fill-ins.

Of course if he plays well (Sproles) you always have trade bait.

      High ankle sprain for Buckner

      No we haven’t. We used Johnson last year anytime Buckner or Stewart was out

      POLL: fire ballard?

      By Superman · Posted

      Generally agreed, but the point I'm trying to make is that I think interior OL/DL have more impact on the passing game than they get credit for. Particularly a great 3T, there's just no answer for that player. But yeah, we're talking about real game changers at those positions, not just stacking up multiple JAGs and saying 'we're solid at DT.'      I guess we'll never know. But to be clear, the Colts interviewed Martindale for HC in 2023, not DC in 2022.   And to my point, why would Chris 'We Run Cover 3 Zone' Ballard interview a defensive coach who runs a 3-4 as a potential HC? Why would he interview him twice? I can't imagine that Ballard thought Martindale would completely change his defensive philosophy, which is one of the reasons his candidacy never made sense to me in the first place. I guess you see it the other way, and I get that, especially in light of that quote. But since the job was HC and not DC, that could have been about something other than defensive philosophy.

      Or, taking a developmental QB with a never-before-seen physical base was a risk the GM considered worth taking.  I wouldn't call that thinking desperate.    What seems apparent is they targeted AR, they expected him to drop to them, the only time they showed panic was when there was a trade-up during that draft, they were prepared for a multiyear growth plan. None of that seems desperate.   I can see how you'd think that but I doubt that's been the case here. The thing is they bet on a traits guy rather than a ready-to-start QB. I cannot knock it at all.

      I expected the ups and downs with Richardson. The defense and play calling I did not.
