The Denver Broncos lost running back Montee Ball for multiple weeks due to a groin injury in Week 5. They will start their Ball-less stretch against the New York Jets on Sunday.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 6: Ronnie Hillman
Ronnie Hillman filled in for an injured Montee Ball in Week 5. Will he be the go-to back this week for fantasy owners?


While Ball was out, Ronnie Hillman was the primary ball carrier for the Broncos, totaling 64 rushing yards on 15 carries. The Broncos had yet to really unleash him until that injury and it was more about them adapting to a game plan because of Ball's injury.
In other words, Hillman is probably not going to be a featured back this week. The Broncos will active C.J. Anderson, who was fantastic in the preseason, but the team just made him a healthy scratch because he serves as a similar player to Ball. Anderson might see most of the carries.
Fantasy impact: The Jets are one of the best rushing defenses in the NFL, so it’s not going to be tough to bench Hillman. He and Anderson should be owned in almost all leagues, though.
