Gailey plans to push Spiller: C.J. Spiller recently said he wanted to start for the Bills, something that brought a smile to head coach Chan Gailey's face. Speaking with the media at the NFL Combine, Gailey encouraged competition between Spiller and Fred Jackson but ultimately wants to use both backs. Moreover, Gailey admitted that he thought highly of Spiller, even going so far as to say he could handle 20 carries per game. "He could be an every down back," Gailey said. "[H]e's a valuable, versatile player; he can play wideout. We're fortunate enough to have two very good backs so I’m going to try to make sure we keep them fresh and wear them out at the same time – does that make sense? But you want them to be on the field doing something; running routes, creating threats for the defense but not each one of them taking a pounding and both of them carrying it a lot of times every game. You want to create the diversity by this guy carries it one time and that guy carries it one time, he’s out for a pass and then he’s out for a pass. So that being said, am I saying they’re going to be in the game at the same time? I’m sure they will be. Now don’t hold me to what percentage but they will be." (Updated 02/23/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
The two concerns we have over Spiller are simple ones: Can he see enough playing time to be relevant? And, Can he do well with that playing time? After Jackson was placed on injured reserve with a broken fibula last year, Spiller emerged as a strong threat and recorded 446 rushing yards in the last six games of the season. Spiller is worth a pick starting in Round 6 in standard formats and Round 5 in PPR formats as he should see some decent work so long as he's productive. Fred Jackson is still the preferred Fantasy rusher in Buffalo, though. (Updated 02/23/2012).
