Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson both saw 11 carries in Week 4 versus the Minnesota Vikings, but once again Hillman outplayed Anderson.

Slow Down Before Starting C.J. Spiller Going Forward

If all you did was glance at the box score of the Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints game, you may be thinking that C.J. Spiller is a must-start running back going forward, but slow down a bit. Sure, Spiller had over 100 total yards and a touchdown, which sounds great until you look into […]
