Jeremy Hill (RB, CIN) - Players Showing Warning Signals

Of all the players on my warning signals list this week, Cincinnati running back Jeremy Hill is the one that seems to have raised the most eyebrows. Through two weeks, Hill only has 102 rushing yards but does have two touchdowns, both of which came in Week One.

The more worrisome tidbit of information is the fact that Giovani Bernard outran him considerably in Sunday’s matchup with the San Diego Chargers. Bernard had 20 rushing attempts for 123 yards, compared to Hill’s outing of 10 for 39. But even with that in mind, I’m not worried about Hill long-term.

He fumbled in that game, but it’s been made clear that he’s still the lead back. Games like this tend to happen every once in a while, whether it’s individual player struggles, game flow, or offensive strategy - so I’m willing to chalk this one up as a combination of the three. Hang in there with Jeremy Hill and if you can buy low on him, pounce.
