@nick_underhill: CJ Spiller over his career has averaged 5.63 yards per carry in domes. This could get really interesting this year.

How many games has he played in domes tho? I mean if it's like 2 or something then the stat is kind of misleading. But nonetheless I'm excited he's a Saint!

ETA: Ok i just went and checked and he's played 7 career (regular season) games in domes with an average of 9 carries per game in those. Solid production.

@nick_underhill: I was about to geek over Spiller averaging 5.63 yards per carry in domes ... Then I realized it was only for six games.



Well that changes things but still.

You have to add in Buffalo's home game against Atlanta in 2013. That game was played in Toronto and it helped skew his indoor average as he carried the ball 15 times for 149 yards (including a 77 yard run and a 36 yard TD run).

What about his receiving numbers indoors? That is gonna be interested how many he took to the house in his career.

Oh, ok. But that would still be 8, not 6.

Still think he's going to be something special in our offense.

Houston and Toronto aren't considered Domes as they have reteactable roofs

See, designation should be made for type of field, not the stadium

While I'm just as excited as everyone to add Spiller to the roster, hasn't he been injured most of his career? I mean, just by paying attention to him in fantasy he's always been a dud. Can't stay on the field. I'm still pissed he fricked me in fantasy last season.

Isn't Arizona's roof retractable? And yes I agree with Lester

The important statistic is that he's never missed a single game as a Saint.
