Brian Hill

Hill's the backup RB in Atlanta behind Todd Gurley which makes him an intriguing name to monitor this season. Hill is not anywhere near as talented as Gurley, but he could see significant volume if Gurley were to miss time with an injury. The Falcons would most likely go to a committee at that point, so Hill isn't worth drafting as a handcuff. It'd be smart to remember the name though and to keep an eye out for him on your league's waiver wire.

Fantasy Impact

The Falcons placed an original-round tender on Hill in March. He will make $2.1 million. Hill will backup newly acquired RB Todd Gurley. The 24-year-old logged 78 carries for 323 yards and two touchdowns across 12 games for the Falcons last season. Hill is merely a handcuff for Gurley’s fantasy owners.
