Risk Flags
4- Age Concerns
Hill is 28 and at/past the typical RB value cliff; even in a stable pass-down role, dynasty appreciation is gone and depreciation accelerates from here.
- Contract Situation
Named a PFF cut candidate on a cheap, near-expiring deal; releasing him saves money and opens a backfield spot, making his 2026 roster status genuinely uncertain.
- Target Competition
Capped behind workhorse Derrick Henry and now contesting passing-down/change-of-pace snaps with rookie Adam Randall (R5), Rasheen Ali, and RFA Keaton Mitchell.
- Injury Concerns
Placed on IR with a neck injury that ended his 2025 season after Week 12; neck issues carry recurrence/recovery uncertainty heading into a new staff's evaluation.
