Week 11 Waiver Wire Gems

Brian Hill – RB Atlanta Falcons (6% owned)

Brian Hill was outplaying Ito Smith this preseason, but it took a Smith injury to propel Hill into a significant role. Now with RB Devonta Freeman expected to miss some time, Hill becomes the lead back in a decent offense. Hill rushed 20 times for 61 yards in the Falcons’ surprising Week 10 victory in New Orleans. There is no timetable yet for Freeman, but if he sits, Hill will get almost all of the touches in Week 11. The Falcons get to face a middle of the pack Panthers’ run defense, so Hill has the opportunity to shine. He should be added in all leagues, especially if you need to win now.
