Dontrell Hilliard Making An Impression
5 years agoCleveland Browns running backs coach Stump Mitchell said that running back Dontrell Hilliard is making an impression in offseason workouts in the absence of Duke Johnson. Hilliard could be the bridge to suspended running back Kareem Hunt behind Nick Chubb if Johnson is traded. Hilliard was an undrafted rookie in 2018 and had zero carries and nine receptions in his first year. With several players sitting out organized team activities, Hilliard has played some receiver as well and has impressed. Hilliard's 2019 fantasy value will depend on what happens with Johnson, but if Johnson isn't in the picture, Hilliard could be a PPR sleeper behind Chubb in the backfield to begin the season.
