Jeremy Hill...

What are your thoughts on him this year?

He killed it the last half of the season last year and now he's being drafted in the second round.

He's got a lot going for him - young, part of a good offense with good coaching, good O Line, etc.
But Gios still lurking... Is that a bad thing? Will it cut into his work too much or will it be just enough to keep him fresh?

I have him as the #7 RB on my board and worth an early second rounder ahead of RB's like DeMarco, Forte, McCoy, etc. What do you all think?

There's not much to dislike. He's a beast, and he's not some stone handed early down plodder. He doesn't have to give way to Gio on passing downs.

Young fresh legs. Is probably being undervalued by most if you ask me. Kind of reminds me a bit of 2014 Leveon Bell. No one thought he would be that good, but after he got done crushing the league we all looked back in hindsight and said "well duh! How did we not see this coming?"

ER is correct. He doesn't "have" to come out on passing downs, he's a hail of a pass blocker and has above average hands. When he gets the ball in open space he is more dangerous for defenses than Gio. Now there's no doubt that Gio is going to still be a part of this backfield but barring injury it's going to be a small part. That's why you'll see him as a kick returner this year. I still think he (Gio) is one of the top 3 handcuffs to own out there because Hill going down still gives you a #1 RB in ppr leagues.

Hill is a beast and will produce. In redraft league I still like Murray more but I like hill more than cja.
