Hillis - anybody starting him? (1 Viewer)

Depends on how desperate you are I guess.

I see 12 carries as a MAX for him. Don't be surprised to see Tatum Bell out there as well and Cutler's gonna HAVE to throw it 40+ times for them to have a chance. The Falcons will march up and down the field all day and the Broncos WILL be behind.

As a Ryan owner I kind of hope the Broncos are ahead some so Ryan will be more likely to throw it and not focus on running the clock. But Turner is a lock for 25+ carries here, maybe 30 if they play with a big lead.

 
As my 3rd RB, yes. Bush and S. Jackson are both not playing, and I do not like Jones-Drew vs. the Titans, so I am rolling the dice with Hillis. D. Williams and C. Johnson are my other two starters in that league.

Cutler will be throwing the ball all day - can Hillis get enough carries and receptions to be worth a start?
Don't forget that 2 weeks ago, Hillis had 7 catches for 116 yards for Denver. He's an adequate blocker as FB and a better receiver out of the backfield than Tatum Bell. He also converted a crucial short yardage play last week and no doubt will get goal line. Seems pretty decent. I'll be giving him a shot.
 
I have ruled out McGahee this week, Hillis news today has me considering him @ flex, however as of right now I am still leaning Mark Bradley given his number of targets over the last few weeks. Hillis' reception yardage a couple weeks back and his goal line touches make me think he could be a quality start this week, though.

 
Haven't decided yet.

Hillis, Avery, L.Moore or Mia D as my flex. Yes I know no one cares, it helps me to see it on the screen.

 
File this under the gutsy/stupid post.... or maybe just the stupid post,

But I going with slaton, hillis over Barber, Jacobs....ouch I can feel the pain already.

add: I have the Balt. D and im already starting royal, cutler, sheffler.

I am. I have that weird feeling about starting him over Driver & V. Jackson. I also started Michael Bennett when Scheff reported he was strating for the Bucs couple of weeks ago.

 
I'm starting him in a ppr over K. Curtis. Looks windy in Cincy, and I'm banking on Hillis catching 5+ balls.

 
My last decision to make and I'm still up in the air about starting Kevin Smith or Hillis? Any ideas? anybody?

 
I started him at FLEX over Desean Jackson. Was going to switch back but got home late from church. Luckily Hillis got a TD, so it didn't hurt me to "accidentally" start him.

 
So how did Hillis look yesterday ?

Will Tatum Bell get more PT next week ?
Hillis and Pope both looked good enough yesterday that I doubt Bell would see much action going forward, however...
