Hill has done nothing in a game to show he can consistently beat one on one coverage with a teams top corner (which he will face every week in 2017). 85% of his production is from Special Teams (few #1 receivers play meaningful special teams snaps) and trick plays on the line where he beats linebackers and DE's to the corner (again this is not the type of play #1 WR's see on a weekly basis).
I wonder how many players on the list above were over-drafted and KILLED their fantasy owners the next year. Hill will be added to this list in 2017.
People think I hate Hill, I don't! He is a great special teams/trick play player which makes him a great FLEX player. He is however not a #1 WR. Again, he did next to nothing in college, and got past 4 rounds in the draft for a reason. I can't wait to see the in-season posts this year when players are crying about how Hill is killing their team, while safer picks would have kept them competitive.
