Interesting that they didn't mention him. I wonder if they believe he'll be a non-factor.

Well, in all honesty he has been a non-factor so far this season, so I guess they just assume he won't brake out of it this Sunday.

You're right. I wonder why that is. His per touch numbers are pretty good.

Receiving, he's got a 72% reception rate which is excellent, 8.4 yards per reception, which isn't bad for a running back. He's got far and away the best YAC on the team. As a rusher, he's averaging a team high 5.4 yards per carry.

Sometimes when they do get it to him, it seems forced, like they've got a quota of Sproles touches they're trying to get to. And then they don't go back to him for half a quarter or so. (just my opinion)

It's definitely part of the bigger problem of the offense not quite being as "in sync" as we're used to.
