Winners: Jeremy Hill, Cincinnati Bengals

Hill took over for the absent Gio Bernard and wow, am I glad I used him liberally in my daily fantasy leagues.

A 6.4 yards per carry average, 154 yards total and two touchdowns, including a game-winning 60-yard run is an impressive addition to a running back’s resume. Honestly, you could add “overcoming quarterback Andy Dalton” to that as well, as Dalton’s two picks made this closer than it should have been.

If Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles doesn’t throw that late pick into triple coverage, this might have ended differently.

Back to Hill though, who looked impressive all day and absolutely trashed the Jacksonville run defense.
