Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson had a big day Sunday, leading the team in both rushing and receiving yards. Jackson also scored the lone Bills touchdown in the team's 22-10 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
Fred Jackson has big fantasy day; C.J. Spiller quiet
Jackson led the team in rushing and receiving and even had a pass attempt in Sunday’s game. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jackson ran the ball six times for only 34 yards, the highest rushing total on the team. He also caught eight passes for 78 yards, including an 11-yard score late in the third quarter. Jackson had a pass attempt in the game as well.
The team's other primary running back, C.J. Spiller, was quieter. He ran the ball 10 times for 25 yards, adding three catches for 37 yards.
Fantasy impact: Both Bills running backs should offer reasonable fantasy value going forward. Spiller will be the stronger week-to-week play, but there will certainly be some games like Sunday’s, where Jackson has a better game.
Going forward, Spiller profiles as a low-end RB2, while Jackson is more of a flex play.
