LSUtiger 9 Posted November 15, 2012 Who else is ready to see C.J.F.S. go off tonight on Thursday Night Football?? :banana: FFToday's ITM projections are 140 total yards and 2 TDs. That's almost fap-worthy. Let's hope the production meets the projections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djgb13 2,338 Posted November 15, 2012 Anything over 10 with him im happy. That was WITH a rbbc. Now that its just him I really cant wait to see how he does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
420allstars 13 Posted November 15, 2012 20points sure would be a nice start to the week..got him in two leagues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarvis Basnight 119 Posted November 15, 2012 I've got him in my lineup as well but not expecting huge things. There is way too much buzz about how great he's going to be. I just hope he can find the endzone once and get close to a combined 100 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything else (the potential for which is obviously there) is just gravy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Challenger 72 Posted November 15, 2012 If we are doing guesses, I say he will get around 10 points (100 yards without td). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheesesteaks 0 Posted November 15, 2012 I expect 100 total yards and a TD. Let's hope that Miami's run D keeps regressing and that Fitzpatrick does not turn the ball over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Way too much buzz to live up to and rarely do players meet such lofty expectations. Double digits would be nice though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
handbanana 47 Posted November 15, 2012 I am in an absolute MUST win or I am out of the playoffs tonight. My opponent has Spiller and have won the league the past 2 years. He is also a good buddy of mine and a tremendous shyt talker as well as a lucky SOB. In addition, I have F Jax who is on my bench obviously. Add this all up and I would expect a minimum of 16pts out of Spiller tonight, but 22-25 would not surprise me in the least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deadlyrange0321 0 Posted November 15, 2012 This guy has proven himself in a starting role (end of last season) and is averaging around 8 yard per touch. I would say the hype is justified. Look at when he had the backfield to himself earlier this season, he literally has No. 1 overall RB potential. With that being said, he has been nicked up at times, but we aren't here to predict injuries. Chris Johnson just had a really nice game against Miami, and is a similar back to Spiller (at least in terms of speed). What works in Spiller's favor is his involvement in the passing game and Chan Gailey is much more creative offensive mind. My prediction: 21car 132yards 1TD, 5rec 50yards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stonewall 647 Posted November 15, 2012 Hype is a dangerous thing. Spiller is certainly set up to succeed tonight, however it is Thursday night football (which has mostly been anti-climatic) and Miami will be game-planning to shut him down. Whether or not they succeed in slowing him down is speculative, but Thursday Night letdowns have been far too common this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bugzy 1 Posted November 15, 2012 Don't get your hopes up too high. No running back had gone for over 100 yards rushing against the Dolphins defense in the last 22 games, except Chris Johnson last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jocstrap 8 Posted November 15, 2012 CJ Spiller gets injured in the 1st quarter and Tashard Choice has a huge game. Tashard Choice becomes the #1 ww pickup for next week (unless you grab him today)! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewbieJr 541 Posted November 15, 2012 CJ Spiller gets injured in the 1st quarter and Tashard Choice has a huge game. Tashard Choice becomes the #1 ww pickup for next week (unless you grab him today)! Perhaps. He's a small guy. They list him at 5'11" 200 lbs, but I bet he's more like 185 or 190. There's a reason small guys like Eric Metcalf (for you old-timers) and Darren Sproles aren't given the full workload. They wouldn't hold up to that beating. That's what these guys who post his yards-per-carry average and cry that Fred Jackson should be benched just don't understand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Metcalf and Sproles are listed at 190lbs... does that mean they are really 175? Off the top of my head.... here are a few guys who played from 190-215lbs... Of course they could have been 175-200, depending on whether or not we are guessing. These guys weren't very good and couldn't handle the load because of their size!

Brian Westbrook Warrick Dunn Ray Rice Chris Johnson Emmitt Smith MJD LT Warrick Dunn is a good comparison. And he was used like Spiller. And Metcalf. And Sproles. He split carries with Mike Alstott Westbrook, Rice, MJD, LT, and Emmitt were all short and stocky. Very muscular with thick thighs. A much better frame to take a pounding. Spiller is thin. No comparison. The only guy you listed that is a full-time starter and is similar in size to Spiller is Chris Johnson. MAybe the Bills will get lucky and he can be a rare smaller, thin RB who can carry the laod. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrMantisToboggan 5 Posted November 15, 2012 I honestly believe that Reggie Bush outstats Spiller tonight. I'm not very good at guessing though. Clemson grad here so i know spiller's game well. Bush will not outscore him. He feeds off of confidence and love from the fanbase, the fact the he is the unquestioned lead back tonight will have him at his best. In other words he will go off tonight b/c he is supposed to. Seriously, barring an injury he will put up like 30pts. When he and James Davis were at Clemson, Spiller was clearly the better RB but Davis was 2 yrs older and they split carries. When Davis graduated he got some kind of mental boost when he knew he was the sole ball carrier. You have already seen him do this when Jackson went down the first time. He's a great receiver too. Clemson's passing was horrible under the bowden regime and he was the best receiver we had some of those years. 20 to 30pts tonight, book it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what these guys who post his yards-per-carry average and cry that Fred Jackson should be benched just don't understand. That's approximately the same size as Chris Johnson & Jamaal Charles. Another thing to consider is the size of defenders. In the last few years, lineman and linebackers are, for the most part, getting smaller and faster to keep up with these spread-out offenses. It probably allows for some of these "smaller" RB's to take less punishment. And the ultra-fast/quick guys like Charles/Johnson/Spiller are able to avoid many big, straight-on hits.

PackYourNut 47 Posted November 15, 2012 Warrick Dunn is a good comparison. And he was used like Spiller. And Metcalf. And Sproles.

Sure it was 20 years ago, but to insinuate that a guy 5'11, 200 lbs cant carry though load is absurd! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 611 Posted November 15, 2012 Spiller is my #2 RB this week behind only Arian Foster who has a nice matchup against the Jags. Great stat above by bugzy about the Miami defense. I'll have to give that a tweet! Spiller - 18 carries, 100 yards, 1 TD 4 receptions, 40 yards rec Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure it was 20 years ago, but to insinuate that a guy 5'11, 200 lbs cant carry though load is absurd! I didn't say never. I said it's rare. Try to keep up. There's a reason Dunn split with Alstott. There's a reason Sproles splits with Thomas/Ingram. And there's a reason Spiller splits with FJax. The teams know they have a valuable resource and want to limit the punishment and reduce injury risk. In all the cases I've mentioned, the smaller, quicker back was more dynamic and had more big play ability. That was never the argument. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
