News: 4 days agoSpiller carried the ball once for three yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans.

Spin: With Austin Ekeler (ankle) out, the Chargers relied heavily on Joshua Kelley (54 snaps) and mixed in Elijah Dotson (nine snaps), with Spiller tallying just four. At this point, it appears as if the 2022 fourth-round pick has been completely cast aside, especially considering he was a healthy scratch in Week 1.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Spiller failed to win the Chargers' No. 2 RB gig as a rookie and was limited to 53 snaps in six games during his first NFL season. The 2022 fourth-round pick is a big, elusive back who contributed as both a rusher (541 carries) and receiver (99 targets) in three seasons at Texas A&M. Spiller's forced missed tackle and YAC profile was very good during his collegiate run and his elusiveness really stood out in 2021 (class-best 5.0 evaded tackle rate). Spiller's early-career struggles are a concern, but he's extremely young (entering his age-22 season) and will get another shot to unseat Joshua Kelley as the high-scoring Chargers' "big" back complement to Austin Ekeler. Keep Spiller on your watch list.
