NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting Eagles RB Darren Sproles (hamstring) is ruled out for Week 6. (Ian Rapoort on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Sproles hasn't played since Week 1 after suffering a hamstring injury against the Falcons. And that won't change this week. Sproles is out again, which means since Jay Ajayi is also sidelined -- he was placed on IR with a knee injury -- expect Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement to handle the majority of the running back touches on Thursday night against the Giants. For fantasy football purposes, Smallwood should get the first crack at the Ajayi role while Clement handes the change of pace duties. However, despite the uncertainty, both running backs could be used as upside Flex options in a favorable Week 6 matchup in New York.
