BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 44% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: In the team's first game without J.K. Dobbins, Hill led the way with 43 of the team's 75 snaps. Gus Edwards played on 32 of the snaps. Despite scoring two touchdowns last week, fantasy managers flocked to Edwards at the expense of Hill. Through one week, it looks as though that was the correct play long-term. For right now, Hill is still the team's 1A.
It's important to remember the last time Dobbins got hurt in 2021, there was a different offensive coordinator. Todd Monken has mentioned how important versatility and pass-catching is in the team's running backs, which is not Edwards' strong suit. This showed up in the number of routes each player ran. Hill had 23. Edwards had just 11. This resulted in three targets for Hill and zero for Edwards. Hill caught all three of his targets for 12 yards.
However, it was Edwards who found the end zone and was generally the more efficient runner. Edwards finished with 62 yards on 10 carries. Hill had 41 yards on 11 carries. It's important to note that while Edwards scored, Hill had three goal-line snaps to just the one for Edwards.
Hill also played on more short-yardage situations, third-downs, and on the two-minute drill. Edwards may end up being the more valuable fantasy asset, but Hill's current role belongs on fantasy rosters.
