Harrison, Hillis dilemma (1 Viewer)

[decoy]

I bought Harrison at auction over the weekend and am happy with him as my RB5, behind Best, Forte, Bush and Spiller. Now, I'm reading about how Hillis (currently a FA) is working with the first team. I have always liked Hillis and felt he deserved a better shot in DEN. I think he'll steal Red Zone opps from Harrison, at least. Would you package Harrison in a two-for-one upgrade and grab Hillis on the WW?

And still dont count out Hardestay in this equation because he will get some carries also. I think Harrison is a huge sell

I don't think Hillis has much impact but I agree that Harrison is a sell. Harrison should get the bulk of the work, at least the first few weeks. They start the year with TB and KC so if Harrison gets a good start, the best time might be after week 2.

I actually agree. I like Harrison a lot and have had him stashed for years on some of my squads. But the fact of the matter is no matter what coaching staff has been in Brownie land, they don't trust him!Hardesty is the play over the long term and the second half of this season. No question.

Hillis may get a lot more touches than most people think. For FF he is a great fit because he looks to be the goal line RB and catches a lot passes out of the backfield. Even if he is not the #1 he looks to have great value with limited touches.

That's good, looks like we should bump up Finley a bit.

Hillis is a white guy, so I'd roll with the other two.

Hillis will surprise, he runs harder then Harrison, and is a better rec.

Hillis, at best, will fill a role like Kyle Eckel or Heath Evans did for the Patriots. Fantasy-wise, he will be irrelevant.

Why is Finley brought up

Hardesty...is he an option?

Hardesty...is he an option?

He's absolutely an option. Probably as the season progresses he will be given more work to see what he can do. I don't think Hillis will be much of a fantasy factor.

Hardesty is supposed to get some meaningful touches in the last pre-season game. If he performs well, he will be in the conversation that much more.

Trick question....Neither.This is the reason I like Hardesty so much, neither are very inspiring. I predict a blow up from Hardesty this last pre season game, with owners scrambling to pick him up.

Just wanted to clarify, I made this post before Hardesty got hurt. I now think Hillis could be relevant in FF.
