Anybody starting Hillman? Nervous about it

Anybody starting hillman and or nervous about his touches? The more I read up on him and denver the more concerned I get about ball and moreno all splitting carries.


Who are you starting hillman over?

Quite honestly, I think you have something to be nervous about. McGahee only had 3 games this year where he's had double digits. Peyton and that offense take so long to get going, they cant commit to the run and by the second half Peyton is lighting up the field to make sure they win. Doesn't leave a whole lot of room for RB touches. Couple that with if Hillman struggles at all, they'll plug Moreno and Ball in there to see if they can get yards out of them. Granted KC is an excellent matchup for Hillman to shine, there are still a lot of variables that come into play that can hinder his performance.

I think where Hillman will get the bulk of his points is in the first half, and the garbage time at the end of the 4th quarter after Peyton has had his way with KC's secondary...

I'm starting him confidently. Is it risky, probably. But, if ever there is a game that looks like it should be 30-0 by half and rushing yards galore, it is this one. The reason McGahee hasn't had any stats is because they pass all the time! This game should not require Peyton to throw it 50 times. Who benefits, Hillman.

I like him. I'm starting him over Sproles in PPR.

Another reason for the lack of double digit point games by mcgahee was the fumbles. The one positive thing that I can think of for those of us starting hillman tomorrow is that "$$$$$ plays" they drafted him for a reason and tomorrow he gets his chance to show what hes got. He could be their biggest playmaker out of the backfield going forward and tomorrow against kc seems like the best opportunity for him to get his feet wet. Their gonna need him in playoffs. Yes mcgahee comes back but coming back after injury??????
