Fred Jackson & C.J. Spiller, RBs, Buffalo Bills (1 Viewer)

[Judge Smails]

Jackson now droppable?

Shallow leagues, yes.But he is one of the most clearly defined handcuffs around if you have the space. Had a couple elite 25+ point games in PPR (TEN and @NE) so no reason to dump him.

Yeah, debating this myself in a 10-teamer. It is tricky because you figure at any moment, Spiller could be out and Jackson can step right in and produce. Weeks 15 and 16 are fairly difficult though (Sea, Mia).

I'm in a 12 x 15 and dropped him for David Wilson. I let go a sure handcuff to my starter for a long shot flier (really not much value unless Bradshaw goes down). I figure Ahmad has more injury history but its a crap shoot trying to predict that. I did it mainly because I think Wilson is a special talent, and if he gets opportunity (BIG if), he will explode.If Spiller stays healthy, he might have some more monster games in the last 4 weeks. If he can't go, I think FJax will be more than adequate, but I feel his ceiling is lower.

Worst case for Wilson, he sees limited touches. I have two really talented starting RBs who I believe are largely match-up proof IMO: Doug Martin and C.J. Spiller. If I am wrong (or if one of those two gets hurt), so be it. My bet is they're both studs and I'm rolling with what got me here for the ROS.

ETA (for comparison sake): I also have Moreno, but he's nailed to the bench. Do not break glass except in an emergency thing.

As a fellow Spiller owner, I would never drop FJax for the likes of Wilson. If Spiller goes down your 2nd starter is Moreno. You had the Buff RB situation truly locked up in case of injury. Now you don't.

You may be right (though Moreno has a good schedule) - but my theory, probably flawed, is I'm not winning the FF Championship this year without Spiller regardless. If he goes down, so do I. Just don't see FJax putting up big numbers ROS.Anyway, moot point, I've made my decision. But it's def an interesting debate.

 

[Please See Mine]

Giants have a wonderful week 14-16 schedule for RB (number 1, based on the scoring that I was using), so I was actually debating a similar thing myself. Unfortunately, I do not have a locked-in RB2.

 

[jdoggydogg]

I'm going to ask this question here because I am certain some of you are in the same boat:

Who are you starting Spiller over this week?

He's ranked above guys like Ray Rice and Arian Foster, and I'd like to see if anyone has the guts to make that move.

 

[C-Bound]

B. Brown, Bush, and fjax. Not too tough a call.

 

[Concept Coop]

He's ranked above guys like Ray Rice and Arian Foster, and I'd like to see if anyone has the guts to make that move.

I'd be surprised if many people have the luxury of deciding bewteen Foster/Rice OR Spiller.

 

[doyler]

Not really a luxury at that point as much as something along the lines of a 1RB league...?Rolling with Rice/Spiller in my RB slots and Charles in my flex (over Alf, BBrown, and AJohnson)

 

[jdoggydogg]

Right, but let's say you had to start just one RB. I really don't think anyone (including the FBG staff) will be playing Spiller over Foster.

 

[zed2283]

I'm sure I am watching this with a biased eye (I own both RB's), but the Buffalo offense is getting unwatchable for me. They let Fitzpatrick throw too much (usually when they should be running) and I'm sick of the shotgun draws and other formations that don't seem conducive to the ground game. Just line up and run it.

Are you talking about yesterdays game? Jackson and Spiller combined for 39 rushes. Fitzpatrick had 17 attempts.I mean, on any other week I would have agreed with you, but they ran the ball plenty yesterday.

I know, and I figured someone would set me straight on the numbers. Part of my frustration was from the formations and types of runs. I know the final numbers looked good but it all just seemed so disjointed.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

That's the Bills offense. Seems to work pretty well for the run game in most weeks to me.

 

[zed2283]

That's the Bills offense. Seems to work pretty well for the run game in most weeks to me.

Yeah, that's why I said it's getting to be unwatchable for me. I think I should just not watch their games and take the final stats.

 

[zed2283]

Only 8 touches for Spiller, averaging 5.2 ypc. Like I said, this team is impossible to watch.

 

[zamboni]

Only 8 touches for Spiller, averaging 5.2 ypc. Like I said, this team is impossible to watch.

Jackson done for the year, so Spiller will get another chance to carry the load for the last three weeks.

 

[steveski]

Only 8 touches for Spiller, averaging 5.2 ypc. Like I said, this team is impossible to watch.

FJax most likely out for the rest of the season should fix the 8 touches issue.

 

[Silver & Black]

The question then becomes if Spiller can be a legitimate #1 back for the Bills in 2013. Assuming Fred Jackson doesn't come back, can Spiller be the guy in Buffalo? I think he can.

 

[flapgreen]

Their coach is pathetic.

Without a doubt.

 

[Judge Smails]

But, is Spiller is many peoples lineups Absolutely, this week against Seattle?

If at Seattle then my enthusiasm goes way down. But with FJax out, at home (or Toronto - doesn't matter, Seattle has to travel east), he will be in my lineup. Hopefully now he gets 25 touches - and if so I'll take my chances. 7 carries - Gailey is an idiot.

Not sure if Jackson will be gone. I predict he'll take a paycut to stay on. No way BUF pays him the $5MM he's set to make, but he's 31 and next year could be his last year. Realistically, BUF is the only team that will pay him. He's 31, coming off his worst year, and injured throughout. I can't see any other team taking him on, but I could see BUF paying him $1MM or so to backup Spiller.ETA: I thought he was 32 next year, but he'll be 31.

It is in Toronto. I wouldn't be too worried unless you have another stud option. I have DeMarco vs. Pitt as my other option and I think staying with Spiller is the best play. It is hard to bench someone who will be getting 20 touches with the ability to house it on any one.

Why would you assume that Fred Jackson won't be back?Regardless, next year should be Spiller's chance to take over the primary role. Most likely it will be with a new coaching staff though.

Contract details according to Rotoworld:5/7/2012: Signed a three-year, $10.805 million contract. The deal included a $3 million signing bonus. Another $2.3 million is available through incentives based on stats, Pro Bowls, and playoff berths. Jackson is eligible for annual $100,000 workout bonuses throughout the contract's life. 2012: $2.205 million (+ $100,000 roster bonus), 2013: $2.15 million (+ $300,000 roster bonus due in March + $150,000 in per-game roster bonuses) , 2014: $2.45 million (+ $93,750 in per-game roster bonuses), 2015: Free Agent

If he plays 16 games, that's $2.8MM in roster bonuses (including the $100K workout bonus and March $300K roster bonus) along with $2.15MM base - total $4.95MM. I just rounded to $5MM. I'm not sure if that contract information is correct, but that's what's on their site.

Nevermind, I think I was reading that wrong. I think the $150K per-game bonus is total...not "per-game". So you're right, it'll be more like $2.7MM with all the bonuses.

This doesn't add up.The entire amount for incentives in the contract is listed as $2.3MM, yet you are giving him $2.4MM just for playing a full season. That $150k in per-game roster bonuses must be the total amount available for the year, not per game.

He already got a signing bonus of $3MM. That leaves $7.8MM split over 2 years. If $2.3MM of that is based on incentives, that leaves about $5.5MM split over 2 years in base salary plus roster bonuses.

He should be back next year. That's a reasonable price to pay for a very good #2 RB.

Yeah, look above. I caught that too and must have replied right before you.I agree, I don't think he's going anywhere. My assumption was he would be back but restructure, was when I thought he would make $5MM next year. If it'll cost less than $3MM, I definitely think he'll be back

This is undisputed. He's trying to get himself fired and is taking the team down with him instead of stepping aside gracefully at the start of the season.Look for Tashard Choice to net 10-15 touches next week (on par with or more than Spiller) while Fitzpatrick tosses picks and fumbles the ball away with some 40+ attempts after Buffalo falls behind early.

Tashard Choice - RB - Bills

Coach Chan Gailey said Tashard Choice is not a "great back" and therefore will not be siphoning a significant part of the backfield reps over the final three games.

There was some concern among C.J. Spiller owners that Choice would be stepping into Fred Jackson's role. That's not happening. "We're going to get the opportunity here in the next few weeks for [spiller] to get it a lot and we won't have what I term two great backs," Gailey said. "I think Tashard is a very good back, but to me he's not in Fred's category. So there won't be a lot of sharing of duties. C.J. will have to take a big part of the load now." We can safely pencil Spiller in for 20-plus touches against the Seahawks this week.

Unless Gailey REALLY is blowing smoke here, Choice won't be any obstacale for Spiller in the playoffs.

 

[JPeso]

Win me some money, Clifford.

 

[kegger]

Is Spiller in for a good or great week against the Seattle D?

 

[Dentist]

Is Spiller in for a good or great week against the Seattle D?

Great question. Seattle is 6 against rbs. Ive got to pick between him or cjsometimes2k vs the jets monday. The fact that this game is in toronto is intruiging. Currently dodds has spiller pretty high but he really hasnt had an awesome game in a long time

I think this quote says a lot. It kind of leads me to believe that Gailey is wrapped up in the conceptof the player FJAX used to be, rather than what he is now, an older and slower player.

Why would you assume that Fred Jackson won't be back?Regardless, next year should be Spiller's chance to take over the primary role. Most likely it will be with a new coaching staff though.

I too thought he was due a lot more money in 2013 than approximately 2 million. If Jackson is with the Bills in 2013, I remain skeptical that Spiller will take over the role of a true #1 rb. I don't know for sure that it is just the coaching staff that is apparently enamored with F Jax. Management may like him as more than just a "back up" as well.I was able to trade for Spiller and am trying to convince myself to keep him for next year. I don't want to spend dynasty dollars on a back in a full blown time share situation.

Keep him. Even in a timeshare he has been producing RB1 numbers. That's your floor; his ceiling is much higher, obviously.

Bench Spiller at your own risk this week. I know Seattle just overwhelmed the worst offense in the league at home, but they haven't really shut down any other running games over the last few:

Forte/Bush - 135 total yards, 1 TD

Reggie Bush/Thomas - 160 total yards, 2 TD

Greene/Powell - 74 total yards

Peterson/Gerhart - 210 total yards, 2 TD

Leshoure/Bell - 113 total yards

Gore/Hunter - 227 total yards

Seattle isn't a great matchup, but there's no way I'm benching a featured CJ Spiller because of them. I reached on him multiple times this year and I think he's about ready to pay off BIG TIME. Get him in your lineups.

If I did not have other really good options Spiller would be in for sure.

But the League I have him only play two RB's, and I like others better.

Still a tough call regardless..

Only RBs I'd start over Spiller this week are Foster, Peterson, and Martin.

I could argue Trent, certainly. I can't get down with sitting Spiller for either Murray or Moreno. Nope, not me.

I'd have to throw in Ray Rice over Spiller, but its a small list in any case.

That's good info, gives me a solid take on where you rank him.At this point I still have not decided who I will trot out there yet.Unfortunately I haven't seen any Bills Games and only 1 Seattle inthe infamous "catch game" which was quite some time ago though.So my perspective on the Bills and the Seattle D is just from fantasy.So thanks for the perspective...
