Bengals RB Jeremy Hill expects team will utilize a 'balanced attack'

May 31, 2015

In May, in the middle of his first true NFL offseason, Bengals RB Jeremy Hill is optimistic he will perform even better this year. But with a fully healthy Giovani Bernard and a passing attack that's now significantly healthier, he may not be the workhorse back many in Who Dey Nation want him to be.

"Obviously there's going to be a balanced attack," Hill said, referencing what he thought offensive coordinator Hue Jackson's plans were for the running game. "I don't think he's got to wear either one of us out, so that way we can make it through all 16 games for a playoff push."

Fantasy Impact:

We're currently projecting 287 touches for Hill and 178 for Bernard, with Hill dominating the carries and Bernard seeing more than twice as many catches. In Hue Jackson's run-heavy scheme, there is room for both players to be fantasy starters, especially in PPR formats where Bernard can shine.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
