What is the outlook for the Bills backfield this year?
With the addition of Bryce Brown via trade (and Sammy Watkins through the draft), what will the affects be on touches and production for CJ Spiller and Fred Jackson (who are both free agents after this year)? - very disappointed CJ Spiller owner in a keeper league

    Living in Buffalo, I hear a lot of this talk. Spiller is the premier back in the offense, no doubt. But EVERYONE in western New York knows that Freddy has a lot left in the tank. Bryce Brown will get some carries as well. People also forget that the Bills signed Anthony Dixon, who may get goal line/short yardage carries.
    If I had to put percentages on it, it would go as follows-
    Spiller 45%
    Freddy 35%
    Bryce 15%
    Dixon 5%

    Spiller is healthier now. Unfortunately he'll have to score from 5 yards out. He'll never be the GLB.
    I'd take a player the like's of Shane Vereen over him, because he has the better QB.

    I was also a Spiller owner last year, and so I watched a few Bills games. The first thing I noticed is that Marrone runs the ball a LOT. I'm not sure if that was by circumstance or design, but there were a lot of carries to go around in that offense. Second, I noticed that he rotated three backs (Jax, Spiller, and Choice) on nearly every drive. I believe that Spiller will get plenty of carries between the 20s, as Marrone seems to prefer to pull him in the redzone. That's not all bad for Spiller, because if he's healthy this year, he's got more than enough potential to break a lot of long gains. In 2012, Spiller's PFF elusive rating was in the 90s. Nobody else came even close to that rating in 2012 OR 2013. Spiller might be somewhat boom or bust, but he's a good buy at his ADP.

    Spiller gets the majority.
