Ronnie Hillman is heading into his second week with his new lead back duties for the Denver Broncos. With Montee Ball sidelined, Hillman rushed for 100 yards against the New York Jets. The Jets have been tough against the run, but the Broncos offense allowed for plenty of opportunities on the ground. Expect plenty of opportunities for Hillman against the 49ers, but it will be an uphill battle against one of the league's top run defenses.

Fantasy impact: Hillman was naturally a hot waiver pick up after Ball went down with a severe groin injury. Many owners were aware of the tough match-up for Hillman over the next few weeks. It began with the Jets, but Hillman came away with a solid performance. The 49ers will likely keep the score more competitive than the Jets did, so temper expectations a bit. Hillman is a weaker RB2 option for owners that need to plug him in.
