buddahj Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 I was just hoping for 60-70 yds & 1 TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montster Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Right before the season I picked up Hillis for $1 as a free agent in my dynasty league. Easily my best move in that league, ever. Unfortunately, I gave him only a 1-year contract, but he has been huge for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 He is not on any of my fantasy teams, and plays for a division rival of my favorite team, yet, he is still one of my favorite players to watch in the NFL. The guy is ridiculously good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolverines Fan Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I didn't see it coming either. I started Hillis hoping for maybe 80 or 90 total yards and a score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hillis = never bench your studs On my bench. Only need to start one RB (Mendenhall) and thought my WR options were better. If they are, I'll set a new scoring record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyOne Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 (edited) Hillis on my bench in favor of Charles Seemed a bit of a toss up, but went with Charles as he had been rolling pretty decently. Ugh. Shouldn't cost me the game, although it's not 100% certain, but did cost me presumably 20-odd points (still some time in the KC game). Rare in my league but with this depth (Foster is my other RB) maybe I can actually get someone to trade.

RussMan Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hillis rampages for 220 yards, 2 TDs in win Peyton Hillis steamrolled the Patriots defense for a career-high 184 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries and 36 yards on three receptions in the Browns' 34-14 upset victory in Week 9. The Pats couldn't handle Hillis' physicality, and he broke tackle after tackle bouncing off defenders like a pinball. His 35-yard stampede to the end zone put the game out of reach for good with three minutes left. Hillis became the first back to clear 100 yards against the Pats this year, and coach Bill Belichick sought him out to shake his hand after the game. Hillis squares off the Jets' shut-down run defense in Week 10. Nov. 7 - 4:18 pm et Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Pre-season pickup when Hardesty went down...what a lucky move for me. He is a must start, especially after the game he had against Pittsburgh. Don't sit this guy, and Bear, he is a better play than Mendenhall, don't you think?

billay Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Had Grant as my RB1 going into the season. After he went down in Week one, with the entire waiver wire going after Jackson, I opted for Hillis, knowing i was too far down in wavers to get Grant's backup. I have no doubt that Hillis has considerably outperformed what Grant would have done for me this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, picked him up off WW cause I couldn't get Jackson too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfer Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hillis = never bench your studs well said. Even in Pittsburgh in Colt McCoy's first start (an impossible matchup) he put up 15 ppr points. That game alone sealed it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Sure glad Denver scuttled that bum... If you want an indictment of McDaniels' incompetence, it's that he gave Hillis 13 carries and 4 catches the entire last season and then sent him packing for a never-was/never-will-be QB because he was certain Hillis couldn't play in the NFL, much less be capable of helping DEN at RB/FB.

Exactly, he could have been a bust and is now a definite start each week. My team is rolling with him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game alone sealed it for me. Yep, he was on my bench in favor of LT....and for violating this statute, I will go down tonight for sure with Mendenhall and Ward needing only 30 pts combined to send me packing!

historymike Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Still shaking my head that I not only ignored Hillis on draft day but that he sat on the WW almost two weeks and I scoffed. Oh, how I chuckled at the idea of Hillis being any more than a low value bye week scrub, and how my RB corps of Grant, McCoy, DWill, and Pierre Thomas was going to march me right to the FF Super Bowl. Out of that crew, only McCoy has been a winner, and even he had the fractured rib that cost him half a game and made me leery to start him the first week back. If only I had recognized what a giant among men Peyton Hillis truly is: hell, the first name of "Peyton" should have been enough of a signal, but I was too blinded to see. (historymike falls to the ground, rends his garments, and gnashes his teeth as he sends plaintive pleas to the heavens) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
