C.J. Spiller: Starting Week 1, But With Caveat -
9/8/2010 1:35:30 PM
Update:
While Spiller is the nominal No. 1 running back on the Bills' current depth chart, coach Chan Gailey suggested Wednesday that his star rookie won't be given the heavy workload of a typical featured back in this Sunday's opener against the Dolphins,
The Buffalo News reports.
"We have to be very smart about how we handle him, especially early in the year," Gailey said.
"We have to make sure we don't throw too much on him very early in the season."
Recommendation:
With Fred Jackson expected to play in a limited role and Marshawn Lynch also in the picture, this has all the makings of a full-blown time-share to us. With byes not in the picture yet, if you can help it we'd suggest having your Buffalo backs on the sidelines until the situation sorts itself out better.
