Dax Hill

Dax Hill has been highly impressive in his first consecutive games as a starter. He followed up a DB1 level outing in Week 1 in which he had five solos, one assist, two tackles for loss, one interception, and one pass defended, with another DB1 level performance with nine solos and two assists in Week 2. Dax has thrust his name into the upper echelon of DB2's and is essentially a must-start for Week 3's tilt against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams offense is going to keep Dax busy and provide him with all of the tackle opportunities he can handle. Dax has top-15 upside for Week 3.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reports that the Cincinnati Bengals have signed their 2022 1st round pick, S Daxton Hill to a rookie contract.

Fantasy Impact

Hill, who was selected with the 31st overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati Bengals, is a versatile safety who can contribute in run and pass defense. Hill has elite speed for the safety position, posting a 4.38 40-yard dash time at the NFL Scouting Combine, and he has used that speed to make plays all over the field while playing at deep safety. Hill has a slender frame, measuring in at 6’0” and 191lbs, but he is a willing tackler who isn’t afraid of contact. Hill joins a Bengals team that made a surprising run to the Super Bowl in 2021, and a major part of their playoff run can be attributed to an impressive and difficult to duplicate +7 turnover differential in 4 postseason games. The addition of Hill helps solidify a secondary for a Bengals team that hopes to continue their ascension into perennial contenders.
