The Buffalo running backs went about it in different ways, but they ended up with nearly equal yardage Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Buffalo Bills running backs C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson have battled for the primary spot in the team's backfield all season. Sunday, in the Bills' 23-17 loss to the Houston Texans, little was decided in that regard.
Spiller went for 84 total yards in the game, compared to 85 for Jackson. Spiller's yards were mostly rushing -- 60 on 15 carries, compared to 24 receiving yards on three catches -- while Jackson's were more through the air -- 52 on six catches, with 33 rushing yards on seven carries. Neither running back made it into the end zone.
Fantasy impact: Through four games, Jackson and Spiller have each led the Bills in rushing yards, though neither has had a game of more than 69 rushing yards. Sunday was the first time on the season neither one managed to score a touchdown or put up at least 10 fantasy points.
At this point, neither of the two running backs profiles as a weekly must-start, but both are fine could-starts, flex plays easily. In PPR league, Jackson is more interesting than Spiller, though both usually catch enough passes to retain relevance.
