Brian Hill Fantasy

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill did it again, scoring another preseason touchdown, this time doing it off of a short rush late in the second quarter against the Miami Dolphins. Hill would finish rushing for only 23 yards off of eight carries, with Ito Smith and Qadree Ollison both combining for 15 attempts and 48 yards to go along with two trips to the end zone (one each). The 23-year-old has had a solid training camp thus far and while he still has a long road ahead of him to dethrone Smith for the right to back up Devonta Freeman in 2019, Thursdays performance was a step in the right direction.

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill had a solid outing on Thursday night in the loss to the Denver Broncos, finishing things up with 11 carries for 57 yards in addition to two receptions, with one of them resulting in a trip to the end zone. The 23-year-old was relatively unproductive last season, rushing the ball just 20 times for a total of 157 yards. He will continue to compete for the second spot on the team's depth chart with Ito Smith, who had just six yards on three carries. Though he doesn't have immediate fantasy value, you may want to keep him in mind as a late-season waiver pickup if he is allowed to play for one reason or another.

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill is set to compete with fifth-round rookie Qadree Ollison for the "big-back role" on the team this summer. The 23-year-old Hill ran the ball 20 times for 157 yards (7.8 average) in just 10 games for the Falcons in 2018. The 2017 fifth-round pick has 31 carries in his two seasons in the NFL, and the winner of the competition will likely have a shot at a short-yardage role behind Devonta Freeman and Ito Smith. That role won't make either player fantasy relevant in 2019.
