I have Williams starting and i think i will keep him starting, but i also want to start spiller over him, but with his ankle sprain i dont think he is a reliable option for this week. What do you think? :noidea:

Spiller will see some carries. But u also have to remember that Stewart is back also. Now there's the 3-headed monster at RB for Carolina. So Williams will be losing some carries.

I honestly would have a hard time starting Williams over any body this week. He does not get red-zone carries and he is likely to lose up to half of his touches to Stewart.

Williams is a good bet for 4-6 points and Spiller is riskier, but the upside is worth it IMO.

Tuel is starting for the Bills. He went 4 - 22 at WSU and was undrafted. I doubt Buffalo will be throwing much.

Good point, but that can also work both ways. If KC shuts the Bills offense down, Spiller won't have as many chances either. Still though, I would rather bet on the more talented back.

Atlanta's defense is just terrible. I think there's more of a chance for high single digits for D-Will. Spiller could hit a big one too, but against a tough KC team with Tuel Time under center might get ugly. I really think they should be holding CJS out one more game, but who cares what I think?

Williams for sure. Stewart will only get 5 to 6 touches according to interviews with coaches. ATL flat out blows this year.

Spiller will be looking at 8 man fronts all day (because of Tuel) and playing less than half the time against the best defense in the league.

I get all the reasons to not start DWILL... but I'm still gong with him, mostly due to matchup, and the fact that no matter how many carries he loses to Stew or Tolbert..Spiller is in the same exact boat with Jackson and even Choice.

BTW.. I'm not ready to buy Stew stealing more than a handful to start with, unless his first couple are busted for 10+ and he had "the hot hand" from go. Stew isn't markedly better than DWILL.. if he was this question would've been answered years ago.

...he breaks a 20+ yarder, making one cut in the process, and looks like he's in pain on the sidelines... why can't they just let him heal?
