Isaiah Spiller 2023 Outlook
The Los Angeles Chargers selected Spiller in the fourth round of the 2022 draft, and fans thought they were getting a steal in the two-time All-SEC running back out of Texas A&M. Then the Chargers went and signed Sony Michel at the end of August following his release from the Miami Dolphins. The backfield was too crowded, with Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley and Michel ensuring Spiller was rarely needed. He was active for just six games as a rookie and touched the ball 21 times between the run and pass games. That’s no recipe for fantasy success. Ekeler will remain the featured back in 2023 after ironing out a revised contract that works for him. But Michel is gone, and in the event Ekeler wants to seek greener pastures after his current contract runs out, Spiller might be auditioning for a future starting role. He’s big (5-11, 220 pounds) and accelerates well. But for now, Spiller won’t meaningfully cut into Ekeler’s workload, and he isn’t a better receiving option than Ekeler nor a better goal-line horse than Kelley.

Isaiah Spiller 2022 Outlook
Following the 2022 NFL Draft, NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks made a list of his favorite selections in draft order. Brooks took 10 players and explained why they are "perfect fits" for their respective teams. One of Brooks' picks was Spiller. ... Brooks went on to explain Spiller is a dynamic runner with the size, speed and big-play potential to occupy a lead role for a team that needs more pop from the running game. If Spiller is capable of handling the responsibilities of being the lead back, it would enable Austin Ekeler -- who is tied for 21st in the NFL in yards per carry (4.48) in the two seasons since he became the Bolts' top ball-carrier -- to reprise his role as a change-of-pace weapon in the rotation. Spiller is known for his ability to find the hole and as an efficient pass-catcher. Since 2019, he led the SEC with 2,993 rushing yards, including 1,844 rushing yards after contact, which also led the conference. In a position group that also includes Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree III, Spiller could be thrown into the mix early in his rookie season. With more diversity at running back, the Chargers could attack opponents with a multi-faceted offense that alleviates some of the pressure on Justin Herbert and Co. to carry the load with the passing game.
