Jeremy Hill<\/a><\/h3>\n

Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill is one of the most boom or bust running backs in the NFL. His usage is very limited based on game flow.

Bernard is more of a receiving back, while Hill is more of a bruiser. In week six Hill has a difficult matchup against the New England Patriots who have been tough on running back so far the season. This game could be a shootout which could limit Hills touches.<\/p>\n

Golden Tate<\/a><\/h3>\n
