The Facts:
Following up on the previous item. ... GM Buddy Nix wants to extend the contract of running back Fred Jackson and Spiller undoubtedly is paying close attention. Per a league source, Spiller wants to be the starter in 2012. And if he's not, well, things could get awkward. Reported by Profootballtalk.com

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT noted, Spiller got a taste of the top of the depth chart after Jackson suffered a season-ending leg injury last year. The ninth overall pick in the 2010 draft finished the year with 561 yards rushing, and an average of 5.2 yards per carry. According to PFT's Mike Florio, it's unclear what Spiller will do if he's stuck behind Jackson in 2012. But it could become a problem. .. Another backfield worth watching this offseason.
