C.J. Spiller Active for the New Orleans Saints

New Orleans Saints running back C.J. Spiller is active for the team's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday afternoon. This could be a potential game-changer for indivduals taking part in PPR-heavy leagues. One of the best receiving running backs in the game, Spiller should act as a boon for those who took a risk in him in drafts this summer.

That's only magnified by his presence in a Drew Brees-led offense that focuses on getting the ball to its running backs as receivers. 

Even though New Orleans is going up against a bad Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense Sunday afternoon, it will be hard to justify having faith in Spiller in his first action with the team. He's expected to play a limited role behind Mark Ingram as he gets fully healthy from his knee injury. 

The recommendation here is to check Spiller's snap count against Tampa Bay before deciding to insert him in your lineup. If it's in the 25-plus range, go ahead and move him into your lineup as a FLEX guy next week.
