Saints RB C.J. Spiller is expected to be back for Week 1

Saints running back C.J. Spiller will be back in time for the season opener after undergoing knee surgery last Friday. Head coach Sean Payton has confirmed this timetable for return. Spiller is still expected to miss the entirety of the preseason and may not be 100 percent Week 1 from a conditioning standpoint. This could impact his early season production.

Fantasy Analysis:

It's good news that Spiller will be back Week 1. The bad news is, he'll probably get hurt again. The hospital has become his home away from home and there is little hope he'll playing a full 16-game season.
