The Buffalo Bills lost two running backs due to injury in Week 7. C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson both left early in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, and the Bills backfield will now look a bit different going forward.
Fred Jackson, C.J. Spiller injuries present questions for fantasy owners
Spiller appears to be done for the year and Jackson will be out for a couple weeks with a groin injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

Spiller reportedly broke his collarbone and will miss the rest of the season. Jason La Canfora reported Jackson is out at least two weeks with a groin injury, with a chance to return in Week 10.
Fantasy impact: The loss of Spiller is a huge blow. He broke off a 53-yard run before hitting the ground awkwardly. Spiller immediately grabbed his shoulder, and it was clear the injury was serious right away.
Jackson was carted off as well, but his injury won't keep him out for the remainder of 2014. The Bills are on a bye in Week 9, giving the veteran time to rest up in the hope of returning for Week 10. Bryce Brown now becomes an instant waiver-wire target. He has the big-play ability to provide upside as a starter in the Bills backfield. Brown will rotate with Anthony Dixon going forward.
