C.J. Spiller injury update: RB probable, will play for fantasy owners

Fantasy Impact: Spiller's inconsistent numbers continue to be an issue in his fifth season. Through three weeks, he's averaging 12.3 carries for 49 yards per game (4.0 YPC) and no rushing touchdowns. His lone receiving touchdown came back in Week 1. He has been splitting carries with 33 year-old Fred Jackson and has not proved durable enough to wrestle more carries away from Jackson.
Taking on a Houston Texans defense that has been a screen door against the run, Week 4 is as good a week as any to gamble with a Buffalo running back. As the Bills are already a run-heavy team, both backs could easily end up around the 15-carry mark. Spiller will maintain his status as a boom-or-bust RB2/flex.
