Brian Hill Appears To Be No. 2 Behind Todd Gurley
4 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill appears to be the clear No. 2 behind Todd Gurley II in training camp. If Gurley struggles or deals with health issues in his first year in Atlanta, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Hill enjoy some lead-back moments. The 24-year-old had 78 carries for 323 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games for the Falcons last year. Because of Gurley's well-documented lower-body issues in recent seasons and the fact that he'll play half his games on turf, Hill is a worthwhile investment late in deeper leagues, at least as a handcuff if you take the plunge on Gurley.
