Running back Ronnie Hillman has been a waiver-wire hero this month and is obviously going to be in all fantasy lineups. Although, his backup, Juwan Thompson, hasn't been too shabby with his limited work.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Juwan Thompson
It wasn’t all Ronnie Hillman in Week 7 and there could be more Thompson in Week 8. Should fantasy owners in very deep leagues give him a look?

In the last three games, Thompson has 17 carries for 83 yards and one score, which is pretty solid from a yards-per-carry standpoint. The Broncos are likely going to give Thompson a 3-6 carry workload this week, which won't be enough to start him.
Fantasy impact: This isn't really much of a start/sit because Thompson isn't an option in what should be a close game. Still, he is a solid player to stash in most formats because he would be a nice option should Hillman suffer an injury. Montee Ball is not ready to return and the team won't be in a rush to bring him back. Thompson is a stash in 14-team leagues or for owners in a pickle at tailback.
