After loads of talk about Hill assuming a workhorse role in the Bengals backfield, the exact opposite occurred in Week 3. Giovanni Bernard came in early, and rarely left the field.
While the Bengals’ pass-happy game plan may have been the determining factor there, the fact that Hill only played on 31% of Cincinnati’s snaps puts him in the exact opposite position as Matt Jones in Washington - and that’s not a good thing. To see a starting running back on the bench for two-thirds of the game, just a week after being benched for fumbles, is a little scary. And things may not get any better.
Simply put, Bernard has outplayed Hill thus far in 2015 - and if it weren’t for a pair of short touchdowns in Week 1, Hill would be sitting outside the top-50 running backs in fantasy. That’s no typo - I said top 50. If someone in your league still believes in him, now may be the time to sell.
