Jeremy Hill exploded onto the scene in 2014 with over 1,000 yards and almost ten touchdowns on a team that already had the young Giovanni Bernard on the roster taking the majority of the workload the year before.
Hill has basically surpassed Bernard as the main back in Cincinnati, but will definitely be accompanied by him on third down and passing situations as Bernard is a much quicker and smaller running back.
The tandem of the two is quickly becoming the best in the NFL and both have serious fantasy value. In my opinion, Hill is the guy to have because he will likely be the back who does most of the scoring for the Bengals.
His running style is a perfect fit for the NFL, and I think that he will develop into one of the top fantasy backs available in the coming seasons.
Consider him a lower-end starting back for the time being, but don’t forget his tremendous upside that could elevate him into elite status similar to the way Le’Veon Bell did last year in Pittsburgh.
