2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on May-14-2012 by Chris Weeks

After a very disappointing 2011 season with the Browns, Hillis found himself on the free agent market. Some believe Hillis was disgruntled last season because Cleveland wouldn't sign him to a long term contract. They believe this was the cause of Peyton's poor performance. All that became water under the bridge when Hillis signed with the Chiefs. When the season begins Hillis will likely be the Chiefs' number one back (Jamaal Charles may still be recovering from a torn ACL injury he suffered last season). For the first few weeks Hillis should post very nice fantasy numbers. Once Charles returns we're likely going to see Kansas City use a split back offense. From a fantasy perspective, this is awful news. Hillis and Charles could have easily been number one backs, but with both on one team there's no telling what we'll get. Hillis will likely be a good second back in most fantasy leagues.

Month	Position	Franchise/Comments
MyFantasyLeague Expert Draft May 2, 2012	9.01	FFToolbox.com
2012 Experts Mock Draft (June) June 6, 2012 - June 25, 2012	8.09	FFToday.com - It took some convincing from FF Today Forums member stonewall to get me to draft Hillis, as he really wasn't on my radar, but I am now connecting the dots on the choice as a solid upside pick. Hillis moves to the Chiefs off clearly a bad year with the Browns. He has something to prove to redeem himself. The Chiefs Jamaal Charles is rehabbing from a serious knee injury, suffered early in the 2011 season, but regardless, Charles is not built for a ton of carries even at full health. Hillis has a nice opportunity to show his 2010 coming out party wasn't a flash in the pan performance.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (July) July 16 - 27	8.06	2MugsFF.com - Anyone who scores (when healthy) in the pathetic CLE offense, is worth a spec add, especially considering Charles will likely forgo GL work to him.
2012 Experts Mock Draft (August) Aug 14 - 24	6.06	2MugsFF.com - As long as he stays healthy, I'll take the over on 230 carries. Hillis offers a versatile flex option. He'll probably have a small role in the passing game, but he'll make up for his lack of receptions with touchdowns hopefully.
