Forsett or Spiller?

Maybe wait until Wed?

Bills RB C.J. Spiller is listed atop the team's latest depth chart. Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch were listed ahead of Spiller in the preseason depth charts. We'll get word on Wednesday as to who the official starter will be in the season opener against the Dolphins.

Oh, and it's not really a PPR league. We get .2 pts for receptions, so it takes five to get a point. If it was a PPR I'd think about starting Reggie Bush. I also have Steve Slayton or Dexter McCluster I could put in that RB slot. Dex looks like he's starting this week also.

"Looks like Spiller gets the start but will share carries with M Lynch and possibly return punts and kickoffs." (Yahoo Sports) I hate that when they take returns. I only get points if they score a TD and they risk getting hurt/tired.

Thanks guys for any input. Week one is so critical. I'm still leaning towards the F-bomb because he's consistent.

Not too sure about Forsett this week. He is listed as the #2 RB and #1 KR. Caroll has said however that he will be the starter week 1. Just think I would leave him on the bench this week against SanFran and see what is gonna shake out

AD good of you to chime in!

What a conundrum. And I just heard Reggie Bush is being stripped of his 2005 Heisman Trophy due to the recent finding that he was ineligible that year and USC violated those rules to let him play.

Spiller is a Killah as Muhammed Ali would say! I will recheck the depth charts tomorrow as suggested.

P.S. Nice photo:rofl:

I looked at that and had Spiller in from the beginning for that reason. But I switched to Forsett because of his past year's consistency as I looked into it further. I am not liking Miller's post showing Forsett also may return kicks so...since Spiller is now the number 1 back (Thanks Coach) I'll move him in.

Spiller the Thriller It Is.
