Dontrell Hilliard Fantasy

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard rushed 12 times for 131 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-13 loss to the Patriots. He also lost a fumble and caught one of two targets for two yards. The 26-year-old showed off his wheels by busting out for a 68-yard touchdown run just before the end of the first half. He logged 31 offensive snaps, which split right down the middle with teammate D'Onta Foreman. Hilliard looked more explosive than Foreman and had five missed tackles, averaging 7.0 yards after contact per carry. The Titans have a bye in Week 13 but expect the Titans to lean heavily on the run with Foreman and Hilliard in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard led the team's backfield with 63% of snaps and was targeted 10 times in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. He was signed to the Titans 53-man roster earlier in the week. Tennessee waived veteran running back Adrian Peterson in a corresponding move. Hilliard had a massive role last Sunday, rushing for 35 yards on seven carries and catching eight passes for 47 yards. The Titans will be without star wide receiver A.J. Brown (chest); Hilliard could lead Tennessee in targets in Week 12 against the Patriots. The Titans backfield will be tough to trust, but the 26-year-old should have a vital role in the passing game and is a solid option in deep-league formats this Sunday.

The Tennessee Titans signed running back Dontrell Hilliard to their active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday after waiving veteran Adrian Peterson. Hilliard has played in only two games for Tennessee this year, but he played 63% of the offensive snaps in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans and ran for 35 yards on seven carries. He also caught eight of his 10 targets for 47 yards in the passing game. With Peterson now out of the picture and with receivers Julio Jones (hamstring) and Marcus Johnson (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, Hilliard could have a sizeable role this Sunday against the New England Patriots, especially if Jeremy McNichols doesn't return from his concussion. Hilliard will be a useful pickup in deep PPR leagues this week, but he'll still be a shaky RB3/flex, especially if McNichols is active.
