Jeremy Hill could remain the Bengals' top back all season
Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill could "start all season" per the Cincinnati Enquirer's Jim Owczarski.
Owczarski says that unless Hill is "injured or is absolutely terrible", he will remain the team's lead back through the season. The Joe Mixon hype has been dying down in the crowded Bengals backfield, and it looks like Mixon's workload is at risk of being limited by Hill and Giovanni Bernard.
numberFire's models project Hill for 526 yards and 3.5 touchdowns on 125 carries this season, but if he hangs onto the lead back role he should have no trouble surpassing those marks. We currently project Mixon for 156 carries.
