Working in the backyard and curious what these little sprouts are - does anyone know? Also, do I leave them?

They look like weeds, I would take one inside and see what it grows into, meanwhile, I would kill the rest just to be sure.

Oh good idea to bring it inside!

They look like very early maple seedlings to me, especially seeing how many there are. This is what it looks like when a bunch of maple seed pods (those helicopter things) fall in a particular area start sprouting.
