What a propaganda piece that Vine of 2014 C.J. Spiller is. For one thing, it could give the impression the result of the play was a TD. It wasn’t, in fact he scored zero rushing TDs last year. Instead it was his last snap of 2014. Yes, that’s the play he was injured on. This sums up why he must be one of the more frustrating running backs to own (I can’t say, I’ve never owned him). There is new optimism for him because he has left the Bills for the Saints and with that move comes some hope that he will be utilized correctly as a committee back who can make plays in space. In general the fantasy powers that be are ranking him about right — he’s the 23rd RB in FantasyPros ECR (expert consensus rankings). I think many folks rank him in the 24-30 range so the bump to 23rd comes from those experts ranking him in the 15-20 range and that’s too high for me. This post will explain why.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
