The Browns’ run defense has been one of the great question marks for the team since before Jamal Lewis was wearing a Ravens uniform running up and down the football field against the Browns. Whether it was because the Browns’ opponents are usually playing with a lead, the defense being on the field too long, or just not being good at stopping the run, the Browns have just struggled with it over the years. The Browns did pretty well in containing BenJarvus Green-Ellis this week against the Bengals as he ran for 75 yards on 21 carries. The task this upcoming Sunday won’t be so easy.
C.J. Spiller didn’t start atop the Buffalo Bills depth chart this season. That was Fred Jackson who went down during a week one embarrassment to the New York Jets. Spiller has filled in admirably averaging 10.1 yards per carry. He had 14 carries for 169 yards against the Jets and 15 carries for 123 yards in beating the Kansas City Chiefs. He has three rushing TDs. He’s also caught five passes for 72 yards....

After the Bills were mauled by the New York Jets in week one, Buffalo bounced back with a huge win over the lowly Kansas City Chiefs, 35-17.
The Bills played their game, which evidently is a healthy serving of CJ Spiller, mixed with a side of Ryan Fitzpatrick. Spiller was stellar for the second straight week, rushing for 123 yards and two touchdowns. He also contributed to the...

1.) C.J. Spiller is a Bona Fide Superstar.The Bills raised some eyebrows when they took Spiller ninth overall in the 2010 draft despite already having a backfield that included Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson.The concerns seemed warranted after Spiller racked up just 667 yards from scrimmage (rushing and receiving) and 3 total TDs in his first 24 games as a member of the Bills....

Just in case you didn’t know, C.J. Spiller leads the NFL in rushing with 292 yards on only 29 carries.
After taking over for an injured Fred Jackson just as he did at the end of 2011, he’s taking advantage of the opportunity.
Fred Jackson had tears in his eyes as he headed to the locker room in Week 1. His hard work and dedication has always done him well, but after working so...

When Buffalo Bills star running back Fred Jackson broke his leg in Buffalo’s week 11 game against Miami in 2011, media and fans had no idea what the team had in backup running back C.J. Spiller. However, he went on to show flashes of greatness by running for 446 yards on 86 carries, which equals to just about 5.2 yards per carry.

ORCHARD PARK -- The Buffalo Bills relied on the hot running and receiving of C.J. Spiller and a defense that finally lived up to the hype to rout the Kansas City Chiefs, 35-17, at soldout Ralph Wilson Stadium on Sunday. Spiller rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries and caught three passes for 47 yards as the Bills (1-1) rebounded from last week's crushing loss...

I’d like to take a moment to thank the Buffalo Bills for saving me a lot of time and money on therapy. Technically, it’s the least they could do, since they were the reason for my impending self-imposed intervention/treatment.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- There was a lot of head-scratching when the Buffalo Bills used the No. 9 overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft on C.J. Spiller. With Fred Jackson and Marshawn Lynch already on the depth chart and a roster full of questions to answer, running back seemed to be the last position Buffalo needed to address. Two games into Spiller’s third season, no one is scratching...

So I know we are still in the afterglow of the Bills’ victory on Sunday. C.J. Spiller continues to impress. The defense made amends for their horror–show performance in the Meadowlands a week earlier. And at least for one week, Ryan Fitzpatrick left the turnovers to the capable right arm of Jay Cutler. Just indulge me a moment to look back through the magic of...

Darren McFadden still finds himself ranked as a top twelve fantasy option in week three as a breakout game is inevitable.
