Start Brian Hill As An RB2 In Week 11
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill has a golden opportunity this week with Devonta Freeman (foot) likely out and Ito Smith (neck) on Injured Reserve. Hill appears to be the team's No. 1 running back for now. Last week, Hill saw his first extended action of the year when Freeman first suffered his foot injury. Hill gained 61 rushing yards on 20 carries in the game and added a 10-yard touchdown reception. The Falcons run game has been dreadful all year, but Hill figures to get such a heavy workload as well as involvement in the passing game, which will allow him to deliver a solid fantasy day. Expect him to get around 20 touches in Week 11 against the Panthers, including four or more receptions. He has a good chance to gain around 80 yards or more in the game with an opportunity to score.
