NFL
10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 9
Melvin Gordon has been a disappointment all season. Is this the week he turns things around?

Jeremy Hill, RB, Cincinnati Bengals

While still universally owned, Cincinnati Bengals running back Jeremy Hill has been so erratic that many owners have struggled to insert him into their starting lineups consistently.

Hill has only totaled 4 receptions and hasn't topped 70 yards rushing in a game all season. While he has scored 6 total touchdowns this season, these scores have all occurred in only three games.

Having out-carried Giovani Bernard 31 to 9 over the team's last two games, he is a great bet to see 15 to 20 carries again this week.  Cincinnati is an 11-point favorite at home against Cleveland, and the game script should lead to plenty of clock-killing work for Hill.

Between his projected workload and matchup -- Cleveland ranks 32nd in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play -- he should have no problem producing RB1-type numbers Thursday night.
