Travaris Cadet could play Sproles’ role

RB Darren Sproles is a one-of-a-kind player.  The Saints will need multiple players to step up in his absence.  One of those guys could be RB Travaris Cadet.  The undrafted rookie out of Appalachian State doesn't have an offensive touch so far this season.  But it sounds like he'll be asked to contribute with Sproles out.  “It’s a big blow to lose a guy like Darren who can do so many things,” Cadet said earlier this week. “It kind of changes up the game plan a little bit. Right now, they’re telling me I’ll be pretty much doing what he did.”  Cadet won't come close to matching Sproles' production, but he could play a sizable pass-catching role.  He proved capable this preseason, when he was the team's leading receiver with 39 catches, 246 yards, and 2 TDs.  Cadet is worth monitoring against the Eagles on Monday night -- and maybe even grabbing right now in deeper PPR leagues.
