Scouting report

STL QB Shaun Hill - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11: Hill vs. Broncos
Following his fourth quarter collapse in the Rams’ Week 10 loss to the Cardinals, Austin Davis has been benched in favor of veteran Shaun Hill, who will start on Sunday versus the Broncos. Hill hasn’t played since suffering an injury in Week 1 versus the Vikings. He was 8-of-13 for 81 yards and an interception in that game and the expectation is that he can take care of the football better than Austin did. No matter who is under center the Rams’ offense lacks an identity as it's neither dominant in the running game or efficient with their passing attack. Hill doesn’t hold much fantasy value, even in two QB leagues. Avoid him.

STL QB Hill Shaun - Week 1, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1: Hill vs. Vikings
Shaun Hill will make his Rams' debut on Sunday as he steps into the starting role following Sam Bradford's season-ending ACL injury. Jeff Fisher has already stated that the team won't change the offense now that Hill is under center, although the Rams will remain a run-first offense. At some point this season Hill could become a viable waiver wire option as a QB2, but for now he should stay on your WW. He ranks as our No. 23 overall QB for Week 1.

STL QB Shaun Hill - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Coach Jeff Fisher announced that Shaun Hill would be the Rams’ starting quarterback following the season-ending knee injury to Sam Bradford. At 34, Hill isn’t going to come in and light the world on fire but he is a savvy veteran that has had plenty of time to learn OC Brian Schottenheimer’s system. While the team could ultimately decide to bring in another quarterback to bolster their depth, Hill will still have the first crack at holding onto the starting job. He offers a steady upgrade over Kellen Clemens, who was thrust into the starter’s job a year ago when Bradford initially tore his ACL.

Fantasy Downside
Hill isn’t going to have a breakout campaign at age 34. He also hasn’t played much over the last two years and will be at the commands of a run-first offense. In 2010, Hill threw for 2,686 yards with 16 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 10 starts with the Lions. Even if he plays well, he’s not going to light up the stat sheet because the Rams are going to rely heavily on their running game and defense to win games. He’ll also face San Francisco and Seattle twice this season, making for four bad fantasy matchups.

Bottom Line
The Rams are going to lean heavily on their running game and defense to win games and while they’re not going to change their offense under Hill, he’s still going to be limited in the passing game. Simply put, his fantasy production is going to be limited because he’s not going to be allowed to air it out on a semi-weekly basis. At best he’ll be a QB2 and a reliable waiver wire pickup for owners with bye week issues during the season, depending on the matchup, of course.
