If Fred Jackson were out for the rest of the year...

Top 10 - that is until he got hurt from the workload...which should be in approximately 3 weeks

 

Wouldn't that then make the argument that Fred Jackson returning will actually help Spiller keep good value?

 

Reminds me of the Charles/Jones tandem in 2010, where Charles was top 5 even with Thomas Jones carving out a good role and vulturing TDs. Not saying Spiller will be top 5 or even top 10, but there is this precedence.

 

It's not just Charles running ability that's made for his 6.1YPC career average going into this year. It also has to do with them keeping him fresh by not making him grind out too many tough yards on too many carries, and only using him as much they need to for him to rip off chunks and make big plays.

Yep, I completely agree that a healthy Fred Jackson returning earlier rather than later probably slightly reduces Spiller's top end numbers per game, but gives him a much better chance of finishing as a top 10 RB for the entire season
