Brian Hill Is Not A Viable Starting Option In Week 8
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill figures to be the team's No. 2 running back in Week 8 as Ito Smith (concussion) has been ruled out. Hill received his first opportunities this year in Week 7 after Smith's injury and the ejection of No. 1 running back Devonta Freeman. Unfortunately, he didn't do too much with them, gaining just 11 yards on five carries while adding two catches for 14 yards. Freeman will be the workhorse in Week 8 against the Seahawks. He's received around 20 touches in each game he's completed recently. Hill, meanwhile will likely receive somewhere between five and ten touches, and given the inefficiency of the team's rushing game, that doesn't inspire much confidence for fantasy production. Hill can remain on waivers in all leagues and isn't a viable starting option this week.
