C.J. Spiller

Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix has made it clear that he wants to extend the contract of running back Fred Jackson. The problem is that C.J. Spiller wants to be the starter in Buffalo, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Spiller did a nice job filling in for Jackson when he went down for the season after fracturing his fibula. He ended up finishing the season with 561 yards rushing, 5.2 yards per carry and 4 touchdowns. After being drafted 9th overall in the 2010 draft, Spiller can...Read Full Story

Buffalo Bills rookie C.J. Spiller got one more ovation at Death Valley when Clemson retired his No. 28 jersey last Saturday.Spiller was the 2009 ACC player of the year while setting 32 school records, and Tigers coach Dabo Swinney made sure it didn't take long to permanently honor those achievements."It's a great honor.

I profiled C.J. Spiller and Arian Foster earlier this summer (click their names to read the articles), suggesting that both RBs would be solid RB3 or flex players. Both RBs had teammates succumb to injuries in recent days that cleared the path to additional carries. The question now is whether or not they have become legitimate RB2s.   I’ll start with Spiller, who had not one, but two teammates get hurt. Fred Jackson broke a bone in his hand, an injury that should cost him between 4-6 weeks...Read Full Story

. C.J. Spiller was one of the most overdrafted running backs in the league last year. Ryan Mathews and Jahvid Best seemed to draw more ire, but Spiller was taken higher in the draft and Mathews finished with 383 more total yards and six more touchdowns while Best finished with 602 more yards and five more scores. . Spiller finished with just 283 rushing yards at 3.8 yards per carry, which isn’t nearly on par with his explosive speed. He played in 14 games as a rookie, yet finished with at...Read Full Story
