BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Dontrell Hilliard touched the ball just twice in Week 11, but he racked up 18 scrimmage yards and also scored his fourth touchdown of the season. Heading into next Sunday's game against the Bengals, Hilliard has some standalone value.
Beyond the fact that he is averaging one receiving touchdown for every four receptions, the 27-year-old fares quite well against defenses playing man coverage; his 74.1 PFF receiving grade against man coverage ranks 12th among NFL running backs. As luck would have it, the Bengals play more man-defense than roughly 75 percent of the NFL.
Beyond Hilliard's sneaky appeal in Week 12 is his allure as a handcuff. As was the case with Jackson, this section of the article focuses heavily on under-rostered No. 2 backs who could take off with just one injury. If Derrick Henry goes down, they would need to find 23 carries, 101 rushing yards, 20 receiving yards, and one touchdown in a pinch. Hilliard wouldn't earn all of these opportunities, but he would certainly receive a lion's share.
