FanDuel Salary Changes: Week 14
Jeremy Hill, RB, Cincinnati Bengals
FanDuel Price: $6,900
Salary Change: Up $1100
When Giovani Bernard tore his ACL in Week 11, Jeremy Hill was expected to take on a large majority of the workload and become an instant DFS value.
Well, he's been heavily involved, averaging 17.5 carries and 4.0 receptions since Gio's injury, but the fantasy production hasn’t been there -- he’s barely topped 11 FanDuel points in each of the last two games.
Despite that, his salary has increased $1,100 thanks to a matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Unlike the Saints’ defense, the Browns are as terrible as advertised. They’ve allowed 25.4 FanDuel points per game to opposing running backs, which is the third-most in the league.
As 5.5-point Vegas favorites, we should expect the Bengals to drain the clock in the second half with the running game. The more rushing attempts for Hill, the better of a chance he has at reaching his 20.7-point tournament threshold.
Many DFSers will jump ship with his disappointing performances and steep price increase, but this is the perfect opportunity for a huge game. He’s already scored 21 FanDuel points twice this season, so he’s certainly capable of reaching his upside. Stick him into your GPP lineups this weekend.
