Harrison's handcuff

by StandingBillFan on Sep 7, 2010 12:02 PM EDT

As a longtime Buffalo Bills fans, I can feel your anguish over losing Hardesty for the season. I gotta believe my Bills have lost more players to IR over the last 3 years than any other NFL team but don't know how to research it. It just seems that way!

Anyway, I was wondering who you recommend from a Fantasy perspective to pick up as a back up in case Harrison goes down. Davis? Also, if you have any Buffalo fantasy questions feel free to fire away. Thanks in advance.

Peyton Hillis

Will CJ Spiller get the majority of carries/touches?

Peyton Hillis should see some third down duties and most of the short yardage / goaline carries even with Harrison available. I’d grab Hillis now and only grab Davis if either Harrison or Hillis gets hurt.

Thanks

It looks like CJ will get 240—270 carries out of what we expect to be around a 500 carry rush focused Offense. The other half will be split between Freddy Jackson / Marshawn Lynch.

Definitely expect him catching the ball out of the backfield as Chan Gailey has a good reputation of designing an offense to highlight a player’s talent instead of trying to make a player fit into his scheme. I best guess is 300 touches [rush/rec] combined.

He certainly looked in preseason more of an every down back than Reggie Bush, which has more often been the comparison, but not quite ready to put him nearer to an L.T. type RB. Ralph Wilson [owner] has stated publicly his disappointment how boring Buffalo has been over the past years, so expect a good dose of CJ just from an entertainment perspective.

As with all Rookies, I personally am hoping the Bills are careful early with his touches as it is a long, long season of at least 16 games ;)
