C.J. Spiller

New Orleans Saints running back C.J. Spiller caught a pass for 3 yards on the first play from scrimmage Sunday, and he did not touch the ball again until the fourth quarter. The scarcity of touches for Spiller was something coach Sean Payton said Monday he wanted to fix.

"I got to get him more opportunities," Payton said. "He's healthy, and shoot, he needs more than anybody to stay actively warm as opposed to one play every 12 of 14 plays."

Spiller played 16 snaps against the Panthers, one week after he went in for seven snaps at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Spiller missed the preseason and the season opener at Arizona to recover from an arthroscopic knee surgery.

Fantasy owners need to see more from Spiller, too. Spiller was supposed to be a PPR stud however so far it's been a slow start which has caused Spiller to pop up on the waiver wire. It seems the team is aware the need to give him the ball more but we'll see if that translates into more touches. If you're hurting at the position and Spiller is out there on the wire in a PPR league, he may be worth a shot.
