Ronnie Hillman

Not much of a surprise here, but Matt Williamson of ESPN’s Scouts Inc. believes rookie Ronnie Hillman could take over for Willis McGahee as the Broncos’ starter during the season.

This is something that many Fantasy owners are actually planning on. The question is, where do we rank the potential future Bronco RB heading into our Fantasy Drafts? Currently, Hillman’s ADP is 9.12, 112th overall.

As hype builds, Hillman’s stock could rise as high as 2 rounds. Reaching on him too early could backfire, especially if he gets hurt early or struggles during training camp. For now McGahee is the man, and you should treat him with Fantasy respect. Don’t jump the gun on Hillman, but he is one to watch this training camp.
