It's playoff time in most fantasy football leagues this weekend, and many fantasy owners are in need of a strong plug and play option at their running back position or flex spot this week. Here are two running backs that are available in most leagues, and they are viable options to plug and play this week in fantasy football.
Philadelphia Eagles RB Darren Sproles - The Eagles running back saw a season high 15 carries last week and was a crucial piece in Philadelphia's win over the New England Patriots. Sproles rushed for 66 yards and caught four passes for 34 yards this past Sunday, and he looks to a be a viable option at the flex position or second running back spot in most fantasy leagues this weekend. Ever since Sproles announced his frustration with his lack of opportunities following a loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Eagles running back has made the most of his touches. Sproles is a strong play in point per reception leagues and will look to be quarterback Sam Bradford's quick outlet on third down passing situations. The Eagles face the Buffalo Bills this Sunday, and Sproles looks to have a strong matchup against Buffalo's 20th ranked defense in terms of yards per game. If you are in desperate need of a plug and play this weekend and are in a PPR league, Sproles is a viable option to start.
