re: Would you pick CJ Spiller over these running backs?

removed, can't find supporting source

and that was a career high.....

I forgot to add that this wasn't a Rashad Jennings <3 thread but I should explain why I have at the top.

Like I said he has the potential to be a 3-down back for the NYG, good hands, and a top 15 pass blocker at the RB position.

He plays the Redskins in the 1st round (Week 15) of my 2-round championship league.
The Redskins gave up the most rushing TDs last year and didn't add ILB or S this offseason.
They did sign the DT Hatcher and draft the Stanford LB in the 2nd round.

I assume they'll still suck.

In the Championship(Week 16) he plays the Rams, who are no slouches
but did give up over a TD per game to the RB position last year.

On the flip side, Spiller play GB in Week 15 who haven't been too good vs the run either.
Big money league so getting to the championship is almost more important than winning it.

You base a timeshare back position on what he may or may not due in wk 15 of the football season against a team that we havent even seen play yet? You know how many people know who will be the starting back for the NYG in wk 15 of the NFL season and how good the Redskins defense will actually be? Absolutely no one.

are you going to assume the Giants offense will again suck? (28th in the league, 29th in rushing offense)

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning admits he’s a little nervous about their new offense heading into training camp.

“Yeah, it is different. You come into the season a little nervous; you just don’t have [the same comfort],’’ Manning said Monday, per the NY Post. “You have a good feel for it, but not to where I want it to be. That’s with repetition and more plays.

“It’s a different feeling this time of year than in previous years. We’ve still got a lot of work to do and a lot to improve on to get comfortable, myself with my teammates and everything that goes on with being successful in an offense. I know we’ve got a lot of work to do. But we’re excited about that challenge.’’

With this being the first time in Manning’s NFL career that he’s had to learn a new offense, aside from his rookie year, I would expect him to be nervous.
