Brian Hill Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons restricted free-agent running back Brian Hill signed his original-round tender on Saturday. Hill will make $2.144 million in 2020, but he's pushed further down the depth chart with Todd Gurley now in town. The former fifth-round pick in 2017 had 78 rushing attempts for 323 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and two touchdowns, while also adding 10 receptions for 69 yards and another TD through the air. The 24-year-old is unlikely to see many touches or be of much fantasy use behind Gurley, Ito Smith and even possibly Qadree Ollison.

The Atlanta Falcons gave restricted free-agent running back Brian Hill an original-round tender on Tuesday after he was selected in the fifth round of the 2017 draft. The team would receive a fifth-round pick as compensation if Hill were to sign with another team during free agency. The 24-year-old stepped in as the primary back last season with both Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith injured and finished with 109 carries for 517 yards and two rushing touchdowns. With Freeman already released, Hill figures to compete with Smith and Qadree Ollison for touches in Atlanta's backfield, although the Falcons could beef up the position through free agency or the draft.

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill saw seven carries in Week 16 against the Jaguars and made the most of them. He rushed for 66 yards in the game, good for 9.4 yards per carry. However, Devonta Freeman stole the show, gaining over 120 total yards in the game and adding two touchdowns. Hill should see about the same workload this week against the Buccaneers, who have a solid run defense. It's too hard to justify starting Hill in league championships or in DFS given his likely workload and low probability of scoring a touchdown.
