Saints Beat: C.J. Spiller (knee) 'expected to be ready' for Week 1

Saints beat writer Andrew Lopez :

How much Mark Ingram's role expands will depend on the health of C.J. Spiller, who is dealing with a knee injury but expected to be ready for Week 1 at Arizona, and how much the Saints utilize Khiry Robinson and rookie seventh-rounder Marcus Murphy.

Fantasy Impact: 

It's not clear if Lopez has updated information or if he's going off the earlier report that Spiller was expected back Week 1. There was another "sourced" report from ESPN radio in New Orleans which said that Spiller would miss the first two games, but it never got any traction. We won't have a good idea of Spiller's potential availability until the team starts practicing next week for its game against the Cardinals. Typically, a knee scope takes 3-4 weeks of recovery so the original timetable makes the most sense.

Sean Payton confirms C.J. Spiller will be ready Week 1

Saints HC Sean Payton confirmed Adam Schefter's report that C.J. Spiller will be ready Week 1.

Fantasy Impact: 

Spiller’s knee scope doesn’t really damper our optimism about Spiller having a big fantasy impact in 2015. A scope to remove loose/rough cartilage is usually a three-week injury, so Spiller should be good to go for Week 1. While New Orleans may not be an ideal landing spot in the carries department, Spiller should have a major role in the passing game with Pierre Thomas, Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills no longer on the roster. He’ll likely take over the role of Thomas, who averaged 11.6 touches in the last two seasons. Thomas finished with a top 30 PPG (PPR) in six of the last seven seasons, so that's a reasonable floor for Spiller. Darren Sproles twice finishee in the top 15 in a similar role. New Orleans running backs caught 275 passes in the last two seasons, so there are plenty of catches to go around. In short, he has significant PPR upside in this offense, but his workload will be somewhat limited since he'll be part of a committee. For more on Spiller, Senior Editor John Paulsen lays out his case for the Saints' passing-down back.

Report: C.J. Spiller has knee surgery, will be ready Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back C.J. Spiller underwent arthroscopic knee surgery this week but is expected to be back for the team's regular-season opener, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Mike Triplett.

The surgery took place Friday in Pensacola, Florida, according to the source.

The Saints visit the Arizona Cardinals in their opener Sept. 13.

Fantasy Impact: 

Spiller did not play in the team's the Black & Gold scrimmage last Friday and missed camp practice Tuesday after limited work Sunday and Monday. He did not participate in the team's first preseason game against the Ravens Thursday but was reportedly present for the game. It's actually more of a relief as there was starting to be some concern around the oft-injured Spiller. He's expected to be ready for Week 1, but it's something we'll continue to monitor as camp progresses. He's ranked 14th on our PPR RB list, giving him high-end RB2 potential in those formats. We project him to lead all backs in receptions in 2015.

Running back C.J. Spiller was absent from New Orleans Saints practice again Tuesday, according to reports. Coach Sean Payton didn’t address Spiller’s status afterward.

Spiller was on the field for limited work on Sunday and Monday. But he hasn’t returned to full-team work since missing last Friday’s scrimmage. A source described Friday’s absence as a minor issue and just a "day of rest." It’s unclear if Tuesday’s absence is related to the same issue.

Either way, the Saints' new runner/receiver is looking questionable for Thursday’s preseason opener at the Baltimore Ravens.

Veteran receiver Marques Colston watched from the side Tuesday, according to reports -- which could have been a routine day of rest. He, too, might be limited in the preseason opener since the Saints typically take it easy with Colston in the preseason.
