Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson set a season-high in yards Sunday, bumping his production back up after a rough stretch of games. C.J. Spiller, the team's other top running back, topped 100 total yards as well as the Bills beat the Miami Dolphins 19-0.

Jackson had 111 rushing and seven receiving yards Sunday, besting his previous season-high of 109 yards from scrimmage in Week 3. He scored a touchdown on a nine-yard run in the second quarter.
Spiller, meanwhile, was kept out of the end zone, but he did have 77 rushing yards and 26 receiving yards, topped 100 total for the fourth time all season.
Fantasy impact: The running backs had averaged 10.5 fantasy points combined in their last two games before erupting for 26 Sunday -- 17 for Jackson, nine for Spiller. It was a refreshing return to form the the running backs, who hadn't done much for a while outside of two big games against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13.
In Week 17, the Bills take on the New England Patriots, and both Jackson and Spiller should be fine starts.
