Hillis has been very consistent over the last couple of weeks and is ranked in the top ten in most FF leagues right now in PTS for RB's. Cincy has given up 314 yards on 70 carries and 1 TD. Thats 4.48 yards a carry and a little over 100 yards a game. Hillis has had # of carries of 9, 8, and 22 in the three games. He has also had # of catches of 4, 3, and 7. Hillis has also scored in every game this year but Cincy has only given up 1 TD to a RB this year. So lets say he has a 50% chance of scoring. Harrison might be back this week put I don't see Mangini giving him 50% of the carries as in Week 1 and 2. I can see a good carry load of 70/30. Hillis has a good chance of getting 18 carries this week. At 4.48 yards per carry that's 81 yards. It's pretty hard to predict the number of catches for a RB but lets go in the middle and say he has 5 catches for his year average of 6.1 yards a catch. That's another 31 yards. 81 + 31 = 112. That would be 11.2 points in a non PPR. That alone would get you into the top 15 RB's for the week. I don't know if Hillis can get a TD this week or not but if he did that would put you in the top 6 or so. And in a PPR the top 5.
This is probably going to be the toughest decision for my lineups this week as a take a glance at them because its tough to sit some under performing players in Favor of a guy who will probably net you at least 11 to 13 points with the upside to 18 - 20 over a guy like MJD or Dustin Keller in a FLEX. Just wanted to see who everyone else is benching this week to put Hillis in who has been a solid contributor and very consistent over the last 3 weeks.
Me: Right now I have him over MJD and Keller. I dont know if I will stick with that or not. I tend to be more daring earlier in the week then on Sat or Sun I have usually talked myself into the safe lineup.
