Dontrell Hilliard Fantasy

Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard had an up-and-down game in a 32-28 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6. Hilliard got his team off to a fast start with a 74-yard kickoff return on the opening kick and went on to catch two passes for 17 yards. He did, however, allow a ball to go off his hands and into the hands of a Seattle defender for an interception on what ended up being the final drive of the game for his offense. Hilliard has 31 rushing yards, two touchdowns, and five receptions in five games this season. He is a low-end dynasty stash who will lose his role when Kareem Hunt is reinstated from his suspension in Week 10.

Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and returned to practice on Wednesday. Hilliard was injured during his team's Week 1 loss to the Tennessee Titans and was not able to play in Week 2. He is expected to return to the passing down role in the Cleveland offense, although he may have to split touches with D'Ernest Johnson, who filled in well while Hilliard was out. Neither amounts to much more than a handcuff to Nick Chubb in fantasy leagues.

Cleveland Browns running back Dontrell Hilliard (concussion) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Monday night against the Jets. With Hilliard out, D'Ernest Johnson will be the direct backup to Nick Chubb on Monday, but Johnson won't have any standalone fantasy value. Chubb should see plenty of touches and is a definite RB1 in the matchup with Gang Green.
