7 years agoNew England Patriots running back Mike Gillislee has looked sharp in practices and is running with noticeable burst, but he's still behind Jeremy Hill after Hill's star performance in the first preseason game. Gillislee worked on his receiving skills in the offseason but struggled in short-yardage situations last year. However, he's had more chances to make his case with rookie Sony Michel (knee) missing eight straight practices and Rex Burkhead missing four straight practices. Even if Gillislee does somehow make the final roster, he'll strictly be a short-yardage/goal-line back, leaving his fantasy value extremely flimsy and unpredictable.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
