New Orleans Saints running back C.J. Spiller (knee) is listed as questionable for the team's Week 2 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Spiller was able to participate in practice on a limited basis on Thursday and Friday. While the feeling is that he will suit up, he could easily wind up on a limited snap count.

Fantasy Spin: If Spiller is active, he'd make for an intriguing play, even splitting time with Mark Ingram. Last week, Ingram split time close to evenly with Khiry Robinson and ended up with eight receptions for 98 yards on nine targets in addition to 24 yards on the ground. Spiller, the more accomplished receiving back on the team, would be a good bet to see a similar number of targets. Ingram is still likely to remain the team's goal-line back. Spiller would make a better play in PPR leagues this week, where he'd make a justifiable Flex option if he suits up. He's worth the risk for owners looking to the waiver wire for alternatives.
