Titans Beat: Team loves RB Dontrell Hilliard

Sep 13, 2022

In regard to his reduced usage on third down, I think the Titans just love Dontrell Hilliard as a pass-catching option out of the backfield. The trust in him has only grown since he played a critical role filling the Derrick Henry void last season.

Fantasy Impact:

The author pointed out Henry had 21 carries, a little below the number of 25 the story mentioned as what the team likes to give him. Henry was also ineffective and only ran nine times in the second half. Henry is still expected to get his share of the work, but it seems like Hilliard has carved out a role for himself as well. He led the team in receiving yards and could certainly be at least a flex option in typical fantasy leagues if this workload continues.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

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.
