I think you have to go Spiller here. I like Tates situation more but Spiller is far more talented IMO.

Spiller since it's PPR.

Hell, even Spiller if it wasn't PPR. He's just a better talent that will overcome his situation sooner or later.

Spiller on the board at 1.4 is a gift.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

I actually don't need rb production right away. I have Mendy, Grant, Charles, & J. Stew; and can only start 2. So I can afford to wait a year.

I tried to trade down a couple of spots, but no serious offers. At spot #4 your looking at Spiller and Tate in this league. Should one of the other top 3 fall instead of Spiller, then IMO it isn't an issue.

Then take Demaryious Thomas, who could probably start for you this year, and target a rookie RB next year.

As of now I will be targeting wrs @ 2.2 & 2.4. I'm too much of rb whore not to take one @ 1.4.

I hear that. Then fly with Spiller if he's there - definitely the sexier pick!

Spiller...he's the better talent and will rise to the top in Buffalo eventually. Houston is the place where all promising backs seem to fade away too soon.

Since I drafted Tate @ 1.05 in one league I sure hope I'm wrong about that last comment.

Draft talent over situation.

Spiller has talent. His situation is not as bad as many think.

I will be the lone wolf here and say Tate. Despite liking Tate, this is more of a knock on Spiller from my standpoint - I have never liked Spiller because of how much he reminds me of Reggie Bush.
Start: 2 QB, 3 RB, 5 WR, 2 TE (All TDs=6, 1 per 10 rush/rec, 1 per 25 pass, NO PPR) 8 teams
QB: Rodgers, Vick, Cutler, Schaub, Luck
RB: Rice, CJ, McFadden, Richardson, Stewart, Ingram, Spiller, Vereen
WR: Green, Marshall, Roddy, Jennings, Roddy, Bowe, Maclin, Britt, A Brown, Williams (TB), Collie, Smith (STL)
TE: Graham, Finley, F Davis, Cook
Taxi Squad: Tebow, Crabtree, Jeffrey, Hill, Gordon
