ThisGuy Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 It doesn't help that I drafted Arian Foster, but because of internet issues where we were drafting it wound up auto drafting Spiller (commissioner couldn't even log in to stop the draft). Now this RB that I've been stuck with has the least amount of fantasy points of any of my backs (including DeAngelo Williams). Anyone who regularly sees the Bills' games know what's up with him?

Joebirds55 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Watching spiller makes me think of the line in many articles that reads "you won't win your league w your first pick, but u can lose it"...I'm starting to think this may apply to cj spiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roustabout Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 He has a knee injury. I'm not sure at what point in the game he got it. It's amazing how clueless the announcers of the game were as to his condition and why he wasn't playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I was flipping back and forth between the jets and red zone and they never brought it up. Jackson and choice in there and no one thought hmmmm where is cj?

ebartender Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Apparently he got hurt but not before he fumbled 3 times. And I thought I got a steal with the 12th pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboyz1 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) Wasn't on my draft board at all unless he fell to the fourth round or so. My draft philosophy goes something like this. I first look at the team and access the offense for potential points. Then I look at history of production. Then I look at injury risk. Spiller ranked low in all three categories. First he plays on a team that will struggle to score points consistently. He's hasn't put together two or more good seasons of production in his career. Lastly, he came into the league with serious knee concerns and has pretty much been injury bugged his entire career. Add that to Fred Jackson who is pretty much the same player, I assumed Buffalo figured 1/2 of a back +1/2 of a back make a whole. Couple that with a rookie starting QB and you have the making of an inconsistent running game, with inconsistent passing game equals and inconsistent Spiller. Don't want that in my #1back period. Goes against my #1 rule, draft players on teams that will score points. Not sure how Buffalo's offense is going to consistently score points, thus Spillers a low end #2 if not a #3 back that should be drafted in the third or fourth round.

SNOWBOUND33 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 quite possibly my most regrettable draft pick ever I don't have him this year and was a little bummed because of all the talk that he was going to be run into the ground with 30 touches a week. He performed for me in the past but this year it looks like I dodged a bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
