Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill carried six times for 17 yards and caught a two-yard pass against the Houston Texans in Week 2.

Fantasy Tip: Make it two weeks in a row for Hill with exactly six carries and one reception -- hardly the stuff of fantasy relevance. Even with backfield mates Gio Bernard and Joe Mixon failing to distinguish themselves, Hill's prospects seem the bleakest of the bunch going forward. At best he can be stashed on your bench, but don't go out of your way to keep him there.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill rushed six times for 26 yards with one grab for minus-2 yards in Week 1 against Baltimore.

Fantasy Tip: Hill had a total of seven touches to eight total touches for Giovani Bernard and 11 touches for Joe Mixon. The distribution was fairly even among the triumvirate with Bernard perhaps the most attractive from a fantasy perspective. The Bengals host the Texans in Week 2 on Thursday night.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 8, and is not on the injury report for Week 1.

Fantasy Tip: Hill probably will be the starting running back against the Baltimore Ravens but will be sharing playing time with Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard. Hill may receive a majority of the carries but probably should be considered a flex option in most leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals RBs Jeremy Hill, Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard are expected to begin the season in a committee, according to running backs coach Kyle Caskey. "You plan initially for it and try to put guys in the right places for what their talents can do and once the game gets going there is a flow to it. If a guy does have a little juice to him at that time then you stick with him," Caskey said.

Fantasy Tip: The Bengals have a history of taking it easy on their rookie running backs, but it seems a bit ridiculous in this case, as Hill hasn't been very effective or efficient since his rookie season in 2014. Mixon is the superior talent, so owners need to remain patient. About the only near-certainties in Cincinnati's backfield are that Bernard is expected to see most of the third-down work and Hill is likely to get the bulk of the work at the goal line. It's up to Mixon to make it obvious he needs to be playing the rest of the time.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill (ankle) participated fully in practice Thursday, Sept. 7.

Fantasy Tip: Hill is the starter on paper for the Bengals, but keep an eye on how involved rookie Joe Mixon is. Mixon's talent and playmaking ability can't be ignored for long, but for now Hill is as serviceable flex play.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill (ankle) was able to take part in a full practice session on Wednesday, Sept. 6.

Fantasy Tip: Hill, who was surprisingly listed at the top of the team's depth chart earlier this week, is trying to hold off Giovani Bernard and rookie Joe Mixon for touches. It's likely Hill sees a healthy amount of carries, but head coach Marvin Lewis could also use a hot-hand approach. It's a tricky backfield fantasy situation in the Queen City, and one to avoid for DFS purposes.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill is listed as the No. 1 running back on the Bengals' official depth chart.

Fantasy Tip: This was the prevailing thought for the majority of the offseason. Hill was hampered by the injury bug last season, so the Bengals are giving him a chance to prove himself again. Giovani Bernard and Joe Mixon obviously limit Hill's fantasy ceiling, especially in PPR formats, but Hill is an under-the-radar late-round option for those who haven't drafted.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the preseason game Sunday, Aug. 27, and will not return.

Fantasy Tip: Owners will need to check for an update on Hill's status after the game to see if he is in danger of missing any regular season games. He may be the starting running back in 2017 but will have to share snaps with Joe Mixon and Giovani Bernard. Hill could be a No. 3 or No. 4 running back in most leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill will start all season unless he's injured or "absolutely terrible," in the opinion of The Cincinnati Enquirer's Jim Owczarski. Hill was listed as the starting running back on the Bengals' initial depth chart.

Fantasy Tip: There's lots of smoke blowing this time of year. It remains to be seen whether or not Cincinnati is swirling in smoke or if the air is the clear. Joe Mixon is the most talented and valuable running back on the Bengals' roster, but if Cincinnati wants to die on Hill's hill then so be it. For now, Hill provides late-round value, while Mixon remains an RB2 candidate.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Jeremy Hill is listed with the first-team offense on the Bengals' initial depth chart.

Fantasy Tip: There has been growing speculation that Hill would be the Week 1 starter for the Bengals. Joe Mixon is expected to be hot on his heels, though, and has the most fantasy upside of any Bengal back. As such, Hill is more of a mid- to late-round flex option.
