Fantasy Profile: Jeremy Hill, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

Up until the eighth game of the season, Cincinnati had only given Hill more than ten carries one time; over their final nine games, Hill eclipsed 18 carries six times. Cincinnati lost the two games where Hill did not carry the ball at least 13 times during that final nine game stretch.

Expect Hill to be a bell cow back for Cincinnati this season approaching 300 carries, which at his likely yards-per-carry rate, should net him in the range of 1,400 yards and double digit touchdowns. Although Hill managed to rack up 27 receptions for 215 yards, many of those receptions came during a stretch where Giovani Bernard was sidelined with an injury. I do not expect Hill to eclipse 30 receptions on the season, but his game will likely begin to mirror that of Marshawn Lynch, which should make Hill a decent value selection at his mid-second round ADP.
