Flutie7Flakes Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 FF enthusiast here..... What type of production are we looking at this year for CJ Spiller? Typically I tend to stay away from drafting my Bills players, just because I don't like to mix the two (BONEHEAD move last year...) Anyway, does CJ really rank among the Top 5 RBs in terms of point production for the 2013-14 season? A few things which worry me: 1. New coach & system 2. New QB 3. Fred Jackson still has some left in the tank 4. Health concerns? (not really) Thoughts everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I think he will be a fantasy stud. Not only will he be in line for more carries, but I expect increased pass receptions as well, which is good if your league rewards those in some manner.

kota Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Honestly i would take him over any other player on the board. I got him last year in the 2nd round and he absolutely killed it for me. I got at least 10 points a week from him. A Few times he would give me over 20. I would scream at hte TV everytime Gailey would take him out when the bills got to the 20 yards line.

Flutie7Flakes Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Pros: 1. Fully-capable of getting multi-TD games 2. Can rush 5 times for 1 yard total, then break off a 20-30 yard run. 3. Ability to stay on for passing downs Cons: 1. His nickname is too catchy - "Spiller High Life!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I plan on taking him with my first pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'm certainly not taking him over peterson.. I excpect CJ to finish the year with around 1400 rushing yards, 500 receiving yards and 9 combined TDs. I think he'll be close to a top 5 back.

ChanOverChin Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I would still be inclined to take Peterson or even the young guy from Tampa Bay (Martin) over him (because Martin plays all three downs and gets a ton of touches), but Spiller would be right there at #3 overall for me. Spiller's upside is off the charts so that's why I would slot him so high, but he's a more risky pick than Peterson and Martin. The fact theat the Bills will run an up tempo offense could get Spiller more touches and that would be crazy good for whomever owns him.

danh920 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 AP 1, A Foster 2, D Martin 3, Spiller 4 Glad to have the RBs back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RK_BillsFan Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I would say he is probably if not a first round pick, he is easily second round worthy. My largest concern is trying to second guess how the new O will do with a new coach, and what happens when they get inside the 5. Make no mistake, he is, imo a better Chris Johnson, and is lethal in the passing game. danh920 was pretty spot on, you could probably say Alfred Morris could be considered in the top 5, also Beast Mode has to be a consideration. Another thing to consider might be your draft order. I know a lot of leagues do things different. but if you draft in the top half of the order, it might be wise to wait on him and see if he slips to the later part of the second. If you are in the bottom half the order you could just spring for him with an early second round pick or just take him off the board with a late first round.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Spiller gets winded too easily. Therefore my advice to you guys (especially if any of you play in the BFFL or the NYFFL) is to wait till at least the 3rd round to draft him.

BUFFALOKIE Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Last year was my first time to ever play in an auction league. I liked it a lot. My first round bid was for CJ for three dollars. Nobody upped me, so I got him for three dollars. Next round I got played hard by the group and wound up overlaying for r. Rice - $30.00, nearly 1/3 of my budget. I was a fool on the rice deal, bit Spiller made up for that mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 He won't be available in the league I'm in because he is a keeper for someone. But if he was available I would take him in the first round np. The only guys I would take ahead of him Peterson, Foster, Rice and maybe Charles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'd grade CJ as an above average back who has the chance of being elite. He's a mid to late 1st Round pick. My only concerns is he still has a chance to lose carries to Fred Jackson so I'd rather go with an undisputed ball/carry hawk. See guys like AP, Foster (I've never been a believer in Ben Tate), Charles, Martin, Morris and even Marshawn Lynch that I'd rank over CJ. Yet I'll admit I'm a more conservative drafter than most at least in the early picks and then swing for the fences with my bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph W. Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I picked him in the 5th round last year. I expect him to be a 1st/2nd round pick. I always go WR first round so I just hope he will be there for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 The only player I'd take over Spiller would be Peterson. I fully expect him to be a top 3-4 pick in my draft. It's nice to see the number of outstanding RBs again. I do have my worries about Foster though (injuries, workload, no more Vontae). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I wouldn't pick him 2nd but wouldn't call you a crazy homer if you did. I personally like McCoy a lot this yr as a high floor, high ceiling, still young guy in Chip Kelly's offense; not exactly sure what Foster/Martin/Lynch/Charles have over him. Hoping to not pick in the 2-5 range this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 In my league, last place from the previous year gets their pick of drafting 1-10. Last place picked the 5 spot, second and third last picked 9 and 10. I was the 4th worst last year and somehow was able to take #1 pick. How do I pass on Adrian Peterson? Baffling that three people passed on the best player in fantasy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a ridiculous turnout...top 3 picks this year IMO (in no particular order) are 1, 9, and 10....5 is nowhere near the best (although the player did come in last place, possibly for a reason?)

Ended up with Trent Richardson #1. Forte coming around in #2 and then Sproles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, very good reason. Going with Peterson at 1 and then best available RB, WR in 2nd, 3rd. Unless Brees or Rodgers is still there...but doubtful.
