Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller did not even appear on the injury report on Wednesday. It was the first time since he sustained an ankle injury in September. He'll be ready to go against the Steelers.
C.J. Spiller not even on the injury report, fantasy value could get hot
C.J. Spiller did not appear on the injury report. We break down the fantasy implications.

“When they’re off the injury report, then I feel they’re fine,” Marrone said. “The one thing you want to know as a coach is, even if a guy has a little bit of something, I’d rather put him on the injury report so this way we can monitor it and watch it. But as soon as someone comes off the injury report, I’m thinking that he’s full go.”
This is great to hear for Spiller, especially since he's coming off an oustanding game on Sunday. In the loss to the tough Kansas City defense, he accounted for 155 yards from scrimmage on 14 touches. The 9.7 yards per carry he posted was on the other end of the spectrum following his paltry 1.9 from Week 7 against the Dolphins.
Fantasy impact: He's arguably been the biggest bust of the season, so fantasy owners are hoping he'll have a renewed sense of confidence. Spiller can make plays like few others, plus the return of E.J. Manuel should help the overall output of Buffalo's offense.
