Grogansghost Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 C.J. Spiller rushed 10 times for 25 yards and caught 3 passes for 37 yards against the Chargers. Advice: Spiller had a long-run called back early in the game, but struggled to find running room all day. The Bills insist on using Spiller as a between-the-tackles runner instead of getting him involved in space. As long as that continues, Spiller will remain nothing more than a high-upside RB2/FLEX. The highlighted part of the above quote pulled from rotoworld feels like a common refrain I keep hearing about CJ Spiller everytime his name comes up. I haven't watched a full Buffalo game this year, and don't really follow them in the offseason - but I've hear this criticism enough times that I'm guessing there's some truth to it. Just wondering from the Bill's fans perspective --- is the team misusing Spiller --- or is this a case of fantasy fans only looking at things from a fantasy perspective? What's confusing is that Marrone specifically put Spiller on kick offs because he needs to get the ball in space more - yet, for some reason his carries are all between the tackles. This disconnect hurts my weak football mind like when Lovie Smith keeps kicking to Devin Hester. I'm sure there's a reason, but I only see madness. Please, Huddlers, help me understand. Is it as simple as Doug Marrone can't devise a play designed to get a RB into space…or is there more to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Dunno, but this has been a topic for a couple years now and I gladly let morans overdraft Spiller and take F-Jax 8 rounds later for the same (or better) results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
