Falcons' Brian Hill bottled up in start
Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill rushed 15 times for 30 yards and caught an 8-yard pass on 3 targets in a 29-3, Week 11 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
What It Means:
Hill dominated backfield touches in place of Devonta Freeman (ankle, foot) but failed to do anything with the opportunity. Kenjon Barner and Qadree Ollison combined for 29 yards and a score on just 6 carries, so the Falcons may opt to go with more of a committee moving forward if Freeman remains sidelined. The Falcons will face the second-best rush defense in the NFL in Week 12 at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Hill scored 4.3 FanDuel points on Sunday. He has 131 rushing yards (3.0 per carry), 32 receiving yards, 4 catches (7 targets), and 2 touchdowns in six games this season.
