Ronnie Hillman has yet to find a foothold within the Denver Broncos offense, according to the Denver Post. The rookie running back is listed fourth on the depth chart behind Willis McGahee, Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno despite his explosive talent. Hillman missed over two weeks of training camp with a hamstring injury, and has been playing catch-up since. He was listed inactive for the Broncos' first two games of the season.
Ronnie Hillman Still Earning Trust Of Broncos Coaches: Fantasy Implications
Ronnie Hillman must improve his all-around game before seeing the field for the Broncos. We break down the fantasy implications.
Fantasy Impact: Hillman is young, healthy and talented, but coaches say that he needs to improve his all-around game before he sees the field. There is still plenty of time for him to make an impact this season, and he’ll have no trouble climbing the depth chart if Moreno continues to fumble the ball away. Don’t count on Hillman becoming a viable fantasy option just yet, however.
