News

  • Disappointing rookie season

    Spiller finished the 2022-23 season with just 41 yards on 18 carries and caught all three of his targets for 13 yards.

    Analysis: Spiller appeared in just six games during his rookie season, as he was the odd-man out in the Chargers' backfield. The rookie running back was unable to carve himself a consistent role on offense and was repeatedly a healthy scratch. With Sony Michel now gone, Spiller will look to live up to his status as a fourth-round pick and will compete with Joshua Kelley for a more prominent role next season.

  • Inactive versus Rams

    Spiller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: With Spiller the odd man out Sunday, Austin Ekeler, Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree are in line to handle Chargers' backfield duties in Week 17.

  • Active but absent

    Spiller was active for Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Raiders, but did not record a snap.

    Analysis: Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley wound up as the only two running backs to take a snap in Sunday's loss. At this point, it's obvious the rookie's role has completely evaporated with the return of Kelley, and that's unlikely to change with the Chargers still in playoff contention.

  • Role diminished in win

    Spiller carried the ball two times for three yards while catching his only target for two yards Sunday in the 25-24 win against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Spiller saw his usage drop compared to the past three weeks, as he was outplayed by Joshua Kelley who made his return to action after missing four games with a sprained MCL. Kelley seemed to reestablish himself as the primary backup behind Austin Ekeler, playing 14 snaps compared to just eight snaps from the rookie running back. Even with a favorable matchup against the Raiders next week, Spiller doesn't have much fantasy value save for the deepest of leagues.

  • Remains primary backup

    Spiller tallied four carries for 11 yards and also caught both of his targets for an additional 11 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Sunday marked the biggest disparity in the platoon backup RB position as Spiller out-snapped Sony Michel 16-5, easily outgaining the veteran for the third straight game. The rookie hasn't done a whole lot with the extra opportunities, but it's likely he'll still be a factor when Joshua Kelley (knee) eventually returns off injured reserve.

  • Does almost nothing in loss

    Spiller carried the ball four times for three yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Spiller once again out-snapped veteran Sony Michel, but neither back was able to do much in their limited opportunities. Nominal No. 2 back Joshua Kelley (knee) is expected to return in the coming weeks, which could relegate Spiller further down the depth chart. The rookie has a combined 12 carries for 27 yards over the last three games in Kelley's absence.

  • Just seven carries in win

    Spiller carried the ball seven times for 29 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: With the Chargers missing both of their top pass catchers, the team resorted to a bit of an unorthodox offense that saw Justin Herbert attempt a plethora of passes while Austin Ekeler still accounted for his usual 20 to 25 touches. That meant Spiller saw a bit less work than the platooned backup role tends to get, but it is notable the rookie out-snapped the veteran Sony Michel. It appears as if Spiller has officially replaced Michel as the No. 2 back, but it's worth noting nominal backup…read more

  • Does nothing in first game

    Spiller lost five yards in his only carry of Sunday's 37-23 blowout loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The rookie made his NFL debut Sunday with Joshua Kelley (knee) set to miss at least four games, but the Chargers fell behind by three scores in the first quarter, which limited any opportunities for the likes of Spiller or Sony Michel. The rookie does have draft pedigree relative to Michel and also profiles as a better receiving target out of the backfield, but given the 21-year-old's much-maligned preseason and subsequent multiple healthy scratches to begin the 2022 campaign, it's clear…read more

  • Pro debut imminent

    Coach Brandon Staley said Friday that Spiller is slated to be active Sunday versus the Seahawks, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The development comes on the heels of primary reserve running back Joshua Kelley sustaining an MCL sprain Monday against the Broncos. With Kelley out this weekend and potentially beyond, Spiller is destined to make his NFL debut Sunday, though starter Austin Ekeler and veteran Sony Michel likely will handle most of the backfield reps. If Spiller sees the field, the 6-foot-1, 215-pounder could get work as both a runner and pass catcher.

  • Inactive for Week 2

    Spiller is inactive for Thursday night's game against Kansas City.

    Analysis: With Spiller the odd man out for now, the Chargers' Week 2 backfield is slated to be led by Austin Ekeler, with Joshua Kelley and Sony Michel on hand to handle complementary work versus the Chiefs.

  • Healthy scratch to start career

    Spiller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Raiders, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: The rookie overcame a preseason ankle injury by returning to practice as a full participant this past week, but the Chargers will still have Spiller in street clothes for the season-opening divisional clash. Recent veteran addition Sony Michel will serve as the No. 3 running back behind the top backfield duo of Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley against Las Vegas.

  • Practicing fully

    Spiller (ankle) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick is thus slated to be available for the Chargers' season opener against the Raiders, but as long as undisputed top back Austin Ekeler remains healthy, Spiller might have only a small role on offense. The Chargers also have Joshua Kelley and Sony Michel on hand as candidates to see complementary snaps and touches behind Ekeler.

  • Returns from ankle sprain

    Spiller (ankle) returned to practice Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The rookie was out for less than two weeks after spraining his ankle in the Chargers' second preseason game. He may be only third or fourth on the depth chart to start the year, but it at least appears he'll be available if the Chargers need him, which could be fairly soon given that the other guys (Joshua Kelley, Larry Rountree) jostling for backup roles behind Austin Ekeler were unimpressive last year.

  • Considered week-to-week

    Spiller (ankle) is considered week-to-week, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: He won't play in the Chargers' final preseason game and can be considered questionable for Week 1 against the Raiders. Even if he gets healthy, it isn't clear Spiller will have a role in the season opener, as he ran behind Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree this preseason. The rookie fourth-round pick is capable of moving ahead of those players as the year progresses, but this ankle injury probably ends any chance Spiller will do it before Week 1.

  • Suffers ankle injury

    Spiller suffered an ankle injury in Saturday's preseason game against the Cowboys and is questionable to return.

    Analysis: Spiller was the third back to earn a carry for the Chargers, behind both Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree. Spiller also was ineffective with the opportunity given, tallying only three rushes for three yards prior to his exit. It's unclear how long the issue may sideline him, but it appears as if he has plenty of work to do to make an impact in the offense.

  • Garners 44 total yards in debut

    Spiller rushed 10 times for 34 yards and brought in his only target for 10 yards in the Chargers' 29-22 preseason loss to the Rams on Saturday night.

    Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick saw his first carry with 4:39 remaining in the first half as the third running back in, and he ended up pacing the Chargers in carries and rushing yards. While Spiller wasn't exactly efficient on the ground, he was also playing behind an assortment of second- and third-team offensive linemen. Spiller remains in a battle with the likes of Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree for positioning behind Austin Ekeler, and he should have ample opportunity to make his case again…read more

  • Working with backups

    Spiller has primarily worked with the second- and third-team offenses at training camp, but Daniel Popper of The Athletic notes that the rookie's "physicality is starting to pop" now that the Chargers have started padded practices.

    Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick will need more than brute strength and determination to earn a role, but those traits certainly help when competing for part-time work behind a smaller, versatile back like Chargers starter Austin Ekeler. While previous draft picks Joshua Kelley (2020 fourth-round choice) and Larry Rountree (2021 sixth-round choice) failed to take advantage of similar opportunities the past two years, Spiller still has time to make an impression this summer. If he fails to do so,…read more

  • Showcasing receiving chops in camp

    Spiller has impressed as a pass-catcher in training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Popper also notes that Spiller has spent some time on the third-team offense early on, but the rookie out of Texas A&M is still in the running to overtake Joshua Kelley and Larry Rountree in the competition for the No. 2 spot on the Chargers' running back depth chart. In addition to making an impact in the passing game, Spiller also had the most impressive run out of the three at Wednesday's practice, so he seems to be emerging as the early leader to slot in behind Austin Ekeler on the depth…read more
