New Orleans Saints running back C.J. Spiller is out for Week 1's matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Spiller did not practice this week, and the Saints are hoping he will be on track to make his debut in Week 2.
C.J. Spiller injury update: Fantasy owners will be without Saints RB for Week 1
One of the Saints biggest offseason additions will be inactive for Week 1. We break down the fantasy implications.


After undergoing a knee scope in August, head coach Sean Payton confirmed Spiller should be ready to go for the regular season opener. However, this particular case of coach speak proved to be false. The Saints will roll with Mark Ingram and Khiry Robinson against the Cardinals.
Fantasy impact: Spiller’s stock soared as he was talked up throughout the offseason. He’ll be a good fit for the Saints as a versatile back who can help in the passing game, but he needs to get healthy first.
Arizona only allowed nine rushing touchdowns in 2014, but they ranked toward the middle of the pack in terms of yardage. Ingram is a RB1 to start the season.
