Dontrell Hilliard (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: If we know anything about Tennessee, then those two things are that 1) the Titans are entering their Bye week this weekend and 2) Derrick Henry isn't coming back any time soon. That means that current RB1 Dontrell Hilliard will 1) not command too much attention from fantasy GMs and get dropped in multiple leagues and 2) stay the no. 1 rusher in Tennessee's offense for a while until (if at all) Henry comes back. That's what a call a WW (win-win/waiver-wire) target.

Hilliard has played two games for the Titans this season. All he's done in that tiny sample is finish as the RB15 of W11 and RB11 (pending MNF) of W12. The PPR points read 15.2 and 18.3 respectively. I mean, it's not that Hilliard could have done more, am I right? Hilliard rushed the rock 7 times for 35 yards in his first game but he excelled on the passing game with a 10-8-47 receiving line. He flipped the script this past Sunday going for 131 (!!!) rushing yards on 12 carries for a TD, and only catching 1-of-2 targets for 2 receiving yards.

The main takeaway here is that the usage might vary, but the production is good on both the rushing and receiving ends. Hilliard has appeared in more than half of all Titans' snaps in the past two weeks, has finished as the no.1 or no. 2 fantasy skill-position player of the team in back-to-back outings. With all of A.J. Brown, Julio Jones, and Derrick Henry off the squad injured, it all points in Hilliard's direction to keep racking up numbers weekly for a while.
