It's a ppr league so gio has more appeal but what to do with gio coming back right after injury. I need this win so please help tdfb.

Hill. They'll probably rest Gio one more week. Hills making or work.

Latest roto update is that Hill will get the bulk of the carries until Gio's back to 100%

Think you need to wait and see how Gio does at practice the rest of the week. We already know he is gonna be slowly brought back but still a chance he misses this week. Even if he makes it through the week and is active on Sunday, I think you have to roll Hill. We know he is healthy and going to get more work even with a 100% healthy Gio.

If Gio is healthy, play Gio. He will get most of the carries, but Jeremy Hill is still gonna get his touches. This situation was just like the Arian Foster/Ben Tate dilemma a couple of years ago.

quote:

Bernard had a "tremendous" practice Wednesday, prompting the question of who will start. Jackson said of Hill: "I think he deserves it. And I think with Gio just coming back, it's going to be hard for me to just say let's just thrust him in there again and let him go again. I think we've got to work him back into our process and how we do things. What will determine that is just how fast and how we think he is ready to go."


I only have Hill, but i feel better starting him with Leveon on bye after reading that.

not really.


Gio has topped 100 yards rushing once in 24 games.
He's topped 100 total yards 6 times in those 24 games.
Those aren't Arian Foster numbers.

Why would Gio get most of the carries? From what I've seen hill is the better runner of the two and the Bengals staff seem to be thinking along the same lines. If anything it will be a 50/50 split on touches with Hill getting most of the early down and short yardage work and Gio getting the rest.

Could it be worth it to start both of them? Bell is on bye...

Just a bad situation for me as an owner of both. I have Ellington, dez, Alshon. I have e sanders hurt so I plan on rolling shorts in his place. I can't go both Gio and hill over shorts right?
