Is Hillis a legit fantasy starter now ? (1 Viewer)

I think there has been a racial element to how people are evaluating Hillis. I keep hearing comparisons made to Mike Alstott (I heard the same thing about Toby Gerhart last year at Stanford.) People (and this includes the so-called "experts") seem to have trouble wrapping their head around the fact that a white guy might have as much speed and agile ability as a black guy. Hillis is an outstanding RB, and right now there aren't too many guys I would prefer to have ahead of him.

he also wears #40.

And his nickname rhymes with Ballspot.

I'd bet 80% of owners didn't even realize he was white at the start of this season.

Watch the games. Don't just play fantasy football on your computer.

If I did, I wouldnt have drafted him!

Owned him during his Denver run then traded him, now hurting at RB.

What do people see as Hillis dynasty value? Is this going to be a fluke year, lots of guys are high on him but I really have no clue where to value this guy

With how the NFL continually gives all the nationally televised games to the same 8 or 10 teams, Hillis could be a woman and most of the country outside of Ohio would never know.

Last sunday, I've watched Cle vs CIN on my computer with livestreaming, just to see Hillis.
