If he gets me 100 yards and 1 TD this weekend all is forgiven.

If it makes you feel any better, I was wrong about Hillis not coming back. But for week 13 Hillis' stats will be 15 carries - 44 yards 3 rec - 5 yards 0 tds.

What did Hillis do last year the first game against the Ravens?

i would start all of those guys over hillis, he sucks!
LargeMouthBass
Footballguy
Ummmm... How bout keeping it more recent and ask me how he did last week?

I would wait and see if Ray Lewis is active. If he is out the only two guys on your list I would start over Hillis are Gerhart and Brown. New Orleans will be in an air battle with the Lions and Reece will not see near as much work in the passing game if either Moore or Ford are back.

Thanks, that gives me a good gauge from your perspective, and frankly that's pretty close to mine.

So the only example of Peyton Hillis running the football that you want to use is his first week back from a bad hammy? Do you want to make a side wager that he will go over 49 total yards?'LargeMouthBass said:

He put up 22 carries - 144 yards 7 rec - 36 yards 1 td in the first game against the Ravens last year. I will bet you that my numbers will be lot closer to what he puts up this Sunday than his last years numbers. Whatever you wanna side bet, I'll take it.
Brock Middlebrook
Footballguy
Wow, you guys are really going out on a limb withy those sidebets. I'll take the over 49 and under 144 + 36 and a TD

You projected 49 yards in post 13859290 at the top of this thread, 44 rushing and 5 receiving. I made no projection for Hillis in week 13, but instead asked you how he did last year. This was to illustrate to you that having a big game is not out of the question. You came back with flawed logic about how we need to keep it "recent" suggesting that Hillis' first game back from a bad hamstring injury is now the benchmark. I disagreed, and asked you if you wanted to back up your projections with cash.In order to look like you are not "backing down" you changed the parameters of my offer, which was directly from your post #13859290. This means that you are not willing to back up your own projections with your own money. Your projections hold no weight if you cannot stand by them.

So does this mean you don't want to take my bet?
GL with Hillis, hope he gives you that 5 points you desperately need.

Desperate, Starting him over CJ Spiller and DWill.

Steven Jackson against San Fran is pretty tough, probably about the same as Hillis playing against the Ravens though here aye?
Breesisdaman
Footballguy
I would not do this, but especially not over DWill this week.
Macdaddy_2004
Footballguy
Why cause Spiller and DeAngelo have been lights out all year? I don't care if DeAngelo has a great matchup its debateable whether or not he'll get GL carries.At the very least Hillis is guranteed to get the ball at the stripe if Cleveland runs it down there.Hillis is also part of the passing game which we haven't seen much from DeAngelo this year.We could see a stat line of17 carries48 yards1 TD3 catches 23 yardsThat's a pretty good day in a ppr.

I'd still take DWILL over Hillis this week. Tampa has allowed the most rushing yardage in the NFL over the last 5 weeks.
I would also take it a step further and see whether Suh plays (not sure how the appeal will play out). If Suh is out, I can see NO getting some yardage on the ground. As uninspiring as Ingram has been this year, he does have 4 TDs in 9 games...I don't expect any of these guys to blow up this week, so a TD (or two) will likely be the determining factor over who was the better start.
Brock Middlebrook
Footballguy
FWIW
SF hasn't allowed a rushing TD all year. If I start Hillis I'll basically be crossing my fingers for 60 + a touch. Although, this news about Kevin Smith has me optimistic that I might have a better option afoot...

I'm thinking so I didn't see the game but heard he was on the sidelines with his helmet off.

Almost spot on, except for that 1 reception.

I could care less about week 13 and 14. Its week 15 against the cardinals that I need his production. I hear he has an undisclosed injury. WTF is an "Undisclosed " injury.

What, you gonna tell me numbers don't tell the story? Why would anyone in their right mind watch a Browns game where there are 10 other games? I'd rather watch snails race.
ShaHBucks
Footballguy
Hmmm watch a good snail race or Ray Rice have a career day??
No your right, numbers tell you exactly what he did in 2 and 2/3 quarters, just don't boast like your giving a honest opinion about his performance. I seen enough to put Hillis in my lineup befor my options dwindled. If anyone cares he should have walked into the endzone on the long pass but he had to slow up to catch Colt McCoy's pass. He look decent.

Sounds like he is a go vs the Steelers. Worth a flex in PPR? He looks fine but the Browns have been awful.
Got hurt by the Forte injury so my norml flex is now a RB2.

Can anyone confirm he returned to the game against Cincy last I heard via Bloom's twitter feed was he was out of the game.
I see Hillis was stuck at 12 carries so I assumed he didn't finish.

Not a chance. Shurmur has barely used him in the passing game so far, unlike last year. Go Shurmur! :X

He was done with about 5 left in the third.

Stop making excuses. I already assumed that the Browns would be down and ditch the running game by the 3rd quarter. Cleveland sucks. It's a risk to start any of their running backs against good teams. Unless he gets a td in the first half or early second half, don't expect him to do much this week against Pitt. Of course, if he goes out limping by 3rd quarter, you'll say once again, I didn't watch the game. 
Actually he looked pretty good last week until he got hurt again. Doesn't seem like the injury is major but you still can't start him this week vs Pittsburgh on short rest. He outperformed most of the backs mentioned last week except for Spiller. The reception he had was for 50 plus yards so 95 combined yards vs Baltimore in 3 quarters is pretty damn good.
Like I said he can't be started this week, but next week he will be off an extended rest vs Arizona. He may be playable there.

Posts like this should be deleted by a moderator and the poster should be suspended. This is a perfect example of how the Shark Pool has declined in the last year or two.

If you are in a start 2RB league with a flex options are limited this year anyways - there are only about 12-15 RB's that are guranteed 15 touches a game - Hillis is one of them.Could you roll with Tolbert, Ingram or DeAngelo over Hillis? My guess is if he starts most people will at least use him as a flex.
Macdaddy_2004

The Steelers Defence hasn't been lights out this year - Arian Foster ripped them up earlier this season.
Lately they have been playing better - I don't see how you can turn your nose up at a player like hillis who is guranteed 15 touches and goal line carries. Your options on your bench have to be pretty good.

So it's a consensus that Hillis, aside from being cursed, has shown flashed of the powerful athlete we remember. Shurmur has to find creative ways to get Hillis the ball to control the tempo If he plans to be in any game. Hardesty can't block, catch or evade defenders so I wouldn't be surprised if Ogbonnaya spells Hillis. My guess is 80 yards is his floor if he plays an entire game.
I'm starting to not like the Arizona matchup as much. Unless rotoworld reports that Kevin Smith or Forte was touched by Jesus, Hillis is my "rb2" fml

Hillis was limited again today - officially questionable for Thursday night.
Drafted him as my RB1 might as well roll with it.

The Steelers run defense was a lot better last year to be honest.
