So do I stick with spiller here?

[Hambombs]

My other options at RB are Donald brown, Pierre Thomas, and carlos Hyde. Thoughts?

Yikes. All pretty bad options. Spiller could be a complete dud this week against a strong Lions front. If the Lions get ahead early, FJax is likely to dominate touches because of his role in the passing game.

I can't recommend Brown against the Jets D. Hyde is only good if you expect the 9ers to win big (not likely against KC). Pierre Thomas would be an upside flyer if you want an RB on an offense likely to put up a lot of points, but he is far from a lock to get the touches you need.

Still though, I think I would roll the dice with Thomas. Brees is going to bust out this week, and NO could get 40.

Jackson. Kyle Orton will do a better job of getting him the ball. It'c close between him and Thomas, though.

Spiller has been good this year though. 15th rated RB right now

I think you have to stick with Spiller despite the tough match up.

If your gut says Spiller, then go with it, but he is not a good option this week. The points he has accumulated so far will not help you in week 5.

Spiller has a better shot at getting around the Detriot line than Freddy does through it, so hopefully they realize that in the play calling. Still not the greatest match up though. But your other options aren't much better

You are right, but they have not realized this in a year and a half, so why now?

Lol..I have no idea. . Blind faith, which had no rationale for existing?

Gut said kaep over foles last week got that. Gut says spiller so I guess I will go spiller

The good thing about Spiller this week is that he'll be playing on turf and speed could be a factor. Frenchie seems to be getting phased out a touch, and even with the FJax factor, I'll take Spiller's HR potential over Thomas' undefined role. Brown isn't close this week.
