C. J. Spiller has been the best running back in the NFL through the first weeks of the season. With the Cleveland Browns coming up in Week 3, the Buffalo Bills should win next week and fantasy owners of Spiller should be winning as well.
Spiller has 292 yards in the first two weeks with three touchdowns. He had 123 rushing yards against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and two touchdowns. The week before against the New York Jets, he rushed for 169 yards and a touchdown.
Spiller could be considered a gamble. There is not much data to consider him an offensive guarantee.
What we do know is that he is already half way through his career high set last season with 561 rushing yards. This is only his third season in the NFL and is getting a chance to start because Fred Jackson went down.
So far, he has earned his spot and is proving to the NFL that he is a No. 1 caliber back.
He is unproven, but with the Cleveland Browns coming into town, fantasy owners should expect another big week. Spiller ran for 123 against a Chiefs team that gave up just 84 rushing yards against Michael Turner and the Atlanta Falcons.
Currently, the Browns are No. 15 in the league allowing 118 yards a game. Spiller should be in for a good Week 3.
Not only can Spiller run, but he provides versatility as he can catch. He has 5 receptions with 72 yards.
Spiller has been ranked by some fantasy experts high on their Top 10 list, however, some experts are sleeping on Splitter as they have him ranked as one of the Top 20 in the league. If experts are slacking on Spiller's potential then he is still available in leagues out there.
