New Orleans Saints running back C.J. Spiller finally put his name on the fantasy map with his new team, catching an 80-yard touchdown pass to beat the Dallas Cowboys. Although, he's been a ghost on the ground with just 21 rushing yards in his three games this season -- he did not play in Week 1.
Fantasy football start/sit, Week 5: C.J. Spiller looks to build off big TD
C.J. Spiller had a big play to earn a win last Week. Can his fantasy owners get it to carry over this week?

As much attention he gets in PPR leagues, Spiller had just three catches in his two games before Week 4. He did turn it around with five catches for 99 yards, which is hardly impressive taking his 80-yard catch out of the equation.
This week, the Saints get a sub-par matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, who rank as the seventh-toughest matchup for fantasy running backs. Plus, this game is on the road, which has been a problem for quarterback Drew Brees.
Fantasy impact: If you’re in a standard leagues, there’s really no way fantasy owners can trust Spiller. In a PPR, he might be a low-end RB2.
