Who is LTs backup???

[Emoney]

Just need quick clarification. In the depth chart it says Michael Turner, but i have also seen sproles, but he is listed for KR and PR. Was going to pick up his backup to get ready for playoffs. Thanks

Turner

edit - You have to take into account that Sproles is 5'6" and 181 lbs. Doubt he could be a succesful every down back in the NFL

Sproles will probably be the backup for turner if LT sits out a few games for whatever reason. He will get a few carries throughout the game. He won't get many TD's though. However, he gets some fantasy points now in my league because of his return yards. Add a few carries and he may be worth a roster spot.

If LT misses time i would guess that Turner and sproles get carries but turner gets most of the work load. That is what they have done in the past anyway...

Wow, third only to the preseason question of who is better KJ or JJ? Answer: neither. and the current question of Is it worth keeping TO/is he gonna go anywhere? The Who is LT's backup is a cafe filler staple!! Now all will wonder why i brought this gem back up from 15th on the list.

Turner is the backup, with Sproles getting as many carries as turner does now if LT goes down. Lorenzo Neal will also fit into the mix a little more around the goaline as he has been getting diversion work even with LT still in the game. If Lorenzo Neal wasn't so poor at goaline work, LT wouldn't be as good of a fantasy player. Turner.

No kidding! If Neal had moved his feet a little more and shown a little more second and third effort, the LT TD count would have been short 2 TD's...not a huge deal since he rakcs up at least 2 a game anyway.

Turner is LT's back-up, with Sproles rotating in and doing returns. The real question is the Chargers making the playoffs. They still play Indy Week 15 and the DEN and KC game Week 16 and 17 may very well decide the divison. I don't think LT will be sitting much this season.
