And we all know Gruden made good use of 2 RBs in Cincy, so I expect Helu to have the same or even more success next year. Sproles is better, but there's not a big gap between the two.
That being said, I'd still like to see Sproles here, mostly for the KR\PR side of him. We would need to be careful how much we used him offensively because Morris does better when he's heavily involved in the offense, and Helu already takes enough snaps away.

I like Helu as the primary backup, but Sproles is a much better 3rd down back and receiver out of the backfield. I'm not choosing between the two.
