Dontrell Hilliard Fantasy

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard was out in Week 2 with a hamstring injury but is expected to take the field against the Las Vegas Raiders. Hilliard's workload will always be limited while Derrick Henry is healthy, but he has some sneaky PPR value as the Titans' primary pass-catching running back. Henry hasn't been effective in the passing game throughout his entire career, so it's possible Hilliard be a solid low-end flex play in PPR leagues. Tennessee's offense is desperate for offensive production, and Hilliard has accounted for two of their three touchdowns in 2022. It's worth noting Hilliard's floor is low, but for fantasy managers who are in a pinch, he's not a terrible option.

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard (hamstring) has been ruled out for the team's Monday night matchup against the Buffalo Bills with a hamstring injury. Hilliard was effective through the air in Week 1, catching three of his four targets and scoring twice. It is unclear now who will receive passing-down snaps, as Derrick Henry has never been heavily utilized in this department. The best bet to receive additional work is rookie Hassan Haskins, who had no touches in his NFL debut but did take the field for nine snaps. Whereas Hilliard may have had some flex appeal in deep PPR leagues, no Titans running back besides Henry can be trusted as a fantasy option this week.

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard scored 21.9 fantasy points (PPR) in Week 1 against the New York Giants, but it's important to note he only touched the ball five times. He caught two receiving touchdowns, but since his workload was so small, we can't expect that kind of production heading into a tough matchup with the Bills. It's also worth noting Hilliard has been absent from practice this week with a hamstring ailment, so keep updated on his latest status. If the Titans are down early, Hillard will likely see a lot of work as the Titans' pass-catching back, but he's far from a sure thing. In shallow leagues, he shouldn't garner much consideration.
