BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED: 11% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Don't get too excited about this, because Todd Gurley II is going nowhere, but at least we saw Hill play the most snaps (and snap share at 36%) last TNF against the Panthers sharing the backfield with Gurley. While the snaps haven't fluctuated a lot through the year, the usage Hill has seen has slowly but surely gone up as of late.
With two 10+ carries games in the last three weeks, and none prior to that, Hill is becoming a thing in Atlanta's offense. He's still far from reaching Gurley's average of 17+ rushing attempts per game (Hill's averaging 6 carries a game) but he keeps featuring on passing plays and he comes from out-rushing Gurley in last Thursday's game.
Hill converted 13 opportunities (11 carries, 2 targets) in 12 touches and racked up 64 scrimmage yards compared to Gurley's 46 total yards on 18 carries (he wasn't targeted at all). Again, Hill is not going to overtake Gurley in the pecking order any time soon, but with four games of eight falling under 14 PPR Gurley's not performed to expectations. That has opened Hill the door for bigger usage going forward.
Next week's matchup is nothing to love (Denver ranks 3rd-best at stopping fantasy RBs from scoring points) but Atlanta should rush the ball if they can take the lead, and even if they don't Hill still profiles as the pass-catching tailback of the team these days. Not the greatest matchup, but Hill looks like a nice flier for needy fantasy GMs playing in deeper formats.
