Hill is dealing with a knee injury that held him out of practice Wednesday before he went limited Thursday and Friday. He looks like a game-time decision, which is bad news since this is a Saturday night game.
The Bengals are relying heavily on Hill with Giovani Bernard on IR with a torn ACL. While his yards per carry (3.9) leaves a lot to be desired, Hill gets almost every goal line touch in this offense, which has led to nine rushing scores this year, three coming in the last three games.
Fantasy Impact: If Hill is active, Yahoo Sports ranks him as the 15th-best running back in Week 16. He would face a Texans defense allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to running backs this season.
Treat Hill like a RB2 or flex option and plan on starting him.
