Jeremy Hill facing a demotion in 2017

Cincinattit Bengals beat reporter Paul Dehner Jr. believes running back Jeremy Hill will serve as the team's "backup" running back and "goal line specialist" in 2017. (Paul Dehner Jr. on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Hill, who has scored 29 touchdowns in his first three years in the league while missing only one game, will likely be demoted to the team's No. 2 running back/ goal line specialist next season. After averaging 5.1 YPC in his rookie year (2014), his average dropped to 3.6 YPC in 2015 and 3.8 YPC in 2016 -- likely contributing to his presumed reduced role. The Bengals will likely address the running back position in the draft or free agency in the upcoming offseason.
