Jeremy Hill had a lot of promise heading into the 2014 season and that hasn't changed. However, if you're expecting guaranteed production from Hill against the New England Patriots, there's plenty of reason to approach the situation with caution. The Patriots gave up 207 rushing yards on Monday night, but gave up less than 70 yards in their last two contests. Giovani Bernard will likely see more in the passing game if the run game sputters. If the Patriots have a statement game Sunday in Foxboro, Hill could be one of the players that suffers.
Fantasy owners should be cautious with Jeremy Hill in Week 5
Hill has proven his upside and the Patriots looked pedestrian in Week 4. We’re still hesitant to give him the green light for Week 5.

Fantasy impact: There's just no telling what the Bengals will lean on offensively, but the Patriots have been tougher on the run game than the passing game. You could do worse than plugging Hill into your flex spot hoping for a goal line carry. He's a great boom-or-bust candidate, but if you have more security at the position, use it.
