Jeremy Hill Fantasy Stats

New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill (knee) tore his ACL in Week 1 against the Texans and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. Hill was expected to fill the short-yardage/goal-line role for the team this season, but that obviously won't happen now. Hill wasn't much of a fantasy option with few touches expected per week. Rookie Sony Michel (knee), who was inactive in the season opener, should eventually serve as the No. 3 back behind Rex Burkhead and James White.

New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill exited Sundays game against the Texans after injuring his knee in the third quarter. Hill went to the medical tent and then walked to the locker room soon after. With fellow running back Sony Michel already out the Patriots are down to just Rex Burkhead and James White in the backfield. While Burkhead is the starter, White is more of a threat in the passing game, already catching a touchdown earlier today.

New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill is excited to have made the final Patriots roster heading into the season. He told Zack Cox of NESN, "We're all blessed, and we're all privileged to be here. So we're definitely excited, the guys who did make the cut." Now that the former 1,000-yard rusher has made the team, he may have a larger role to begin the season than first envisioned. Rookie running back Sony Michel is still working his way back from injury and Rex Burkhead is nursing a knee injury. This opens the door for players like Hill and James White to see some snaps heading into Week 1. Hill is not fantasy viable at this time but could get some early run in the Patriots offense.

New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill, who is fighting for a roster spot with Mike Gillislee in training camp and the preseason, helped his cause with a solid performance in the preseason opener on Thursday. He carried the ball 11 times for 51 yards and a touchdown. Hill hadn't gained more than 50 yards on the ground in any game since Week 14 of the 2016 season. He's also dropped 10 pounds and says he feels "lighter on (his) feet." On the flip side, Gillislee had 43 yards on 14 carries (3.1 yards per carry) and also botched a handoff. Hill appears to be leading the competition over Gillislee for the final spot. Still, even if Hill wins a roster spot, he'll be behind Rex Burkhead, James White and rookie Sony Michel in a short-yardage role, which wouldn't yield much fantasy value.

New England Patriots running back Jeremy Hill has a better chance of securing the final running back spot on the roster over Mike Gillislee, in the opinion of NESN's Doug Kyed. Gillislee has had a tough time staying healthy. Rookie Sony Michel, James White and Rex Burkhead are locks, and Brandon Bolden will likely make the roster because of his special teams prowess and overall versatility. If Hill makes the team, he won't have much of a role. However, he could be the goal-line back for a team that should continue to score often, so he could be useful as a flex back in standard-scoring formats.

The New England Patriots signed free-agent running back Jeremy Hill on Friday, according to a source. Hill had a promising rookie year with the Bengals, putting up 1,124 yards on the ground and nine touchdowns, but aside from his career-high 11 scores in 2015, he averaged less than 4.0 yards per carry in his last three years. He's still young, but he'll face plenty of competition for touches in New England with Rex Burkhead, James White and Mike Gillislee. The best hope is that Hill becomes a short-yardage/goal-line back with the Pats, but fantasy owners aren't holding their breath.

Free-agent running back Jeremy Hill will visit with the New England Patriots on Friday, according to a source. Hill really fell off the fantasy map the last two seasons. He posted 3.8 yards per carry but had nine touchdowns in 2016 and was sporting a career-low 3.1 yards per carry in seven games for the Bengals last year before having ankle surgery. The Patriots often take other team's trash and turn it into treasure, so Hill may not be done, especially since he's still just 25 years old. However, he'd be facing competition with James White, Rex Burkhead and Mike Gillislee in New England.

Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent running back Jeremy Hill does not expect to re-sign with the Bengals. Hill confirmed this on his personal Twitter account. Hill had only 37 carries despite starting all seven games before landing on Injured Reserve after ankle surgery last year. He will likely have to settle for a committee role wherever he lands this offseason.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill is an impending free agent and is fully expected to move on from the Bengals. Beat writers Jim Owczarski and Paul Dehner put the chances of the Bengals re-signing Hill at one percent. Hill needed ankle surgery in November, ending his season, but he is expected to be fully healthy sometime this month. He had a big rookie season and scored 29 touchdowns his first three seasons, but Hill only averaged just 3.6 yards per carry his last three seasons, spanning 482 carries. Hill is still just 25 but is just an early-down, goal-line bruiser.

Bengals running back Jeremy Hill (ankle) will miss the rest of the season after opting to have surgery on his ankle. Hill has stated that he has been battling a sore ankle throughout the season, which was news to his head coach Marvin Lewis. Coach Lewis thought this could wait until after the season, but said that Hill opted to miss the rest of the year. Hill has rushed 37 times for 116 yards this season and had ceded the majority of snaps to rookie Joe Mixon. Mixon gets a slight boost in value for the rest of the season but is still a low-end RB2 based on the Bengals poor offensive line.
