Dontrell Hilliard The Handcuff Choice For Derrick Henry
2 years agoTennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard has looked tremendous in the third-down role in training camp and is a significant upgrade over Jeremy McNichols. Hilliard has clearly been the second-best back on the roster, and The Athletic's Joe Rexrode believes Hilliard would see the bulk of the work if Derrick Henry were to miss any time again due to injury. Hilliard is currently the handcuff choice for those that roster Henry over rookie Hassan Haskins. The 27-year-old could even provide standalone flex value in deeper PPR leagues based on matchups. Hilliard will go undrafted in standard 12-team fantasy leagues, but those that draft Henry as their RB1 should keep Hilliard's name handy in case anything goes wrong.
