2012 Outlook: Sleeper (undervalued)

Last updated on Aug-12-2012 by Matt De Lima

C.J. Spiller was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft and expectations were very high. They should still be, considering Spiller will only be 25 at the start of season and he's one of the faster backs in the NFL. Once Fred Jackson (the Bills' regular starter) went down for the season before Week 11, Spiller seemed to put it all together. He averaged 105.5 total yards per game in the final six contests of the season to go along with five TDs. Spiller may be Buffalo's No. 2 running back, but he proved last year he can produce when given touches. At his best, Spiller has the natural ability to put up Jamaal Charles-like numbers because of his elite speed. The risk of course is whether or not he will ever be able to fully tap into his talent and potential. A split backfield will hurt his stats, but he could emerge as a serious talent this season.

Update (8/12): The Bills have made it very clear they plan to use Spiller far more often despite of the healthy return of Jackson.

5.05 DraftCalc.com - Spiller is the only RB/WR left capable of top 5 numbers at his position. That = steal right there. The great part is that there is very little risk at this draft slot, as he could produce this value even if he doesn't meet my lofty expectations.
