Summary

Running Back Rank: #45All Players: #135

Hillman didn't get a ton of chances his rookie season but some consistent work, getting a few carries about every game. He even had double-digit carries four times. He had a career-high 86-rushing yards in Week 8, showing his big-play ability in the game. He also led the Broncos in rushing in their playoff game, rushing 22 times for 83 yards. Hillman should have a big role from day one in 2013. He has a chance to be the every-down back with a good offseason and preseason. The Broncos are high on Hillman and hope he can emerge as their top back for years to come. Hillman is a small back that does well in space and has the speed to make big plays. Hillman excels in the screen game and does well as a receiver out of the backfield. He needs to improve his inside running if he hopes to be a legit starting back in the NFL.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Hillman is an intriguing player for the coming season. He has obvious upside in an explosive offense but his role isn't quite defined, making him a bit of a wild card. But either way, we think he'll get consistent work and can end up topping 1,000 total yards while scoring seven or so touchdowns. Consider him a low-end No. 2 back or top No. 3.

Notes

May 20 07:03 pm

Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning said RB Ronnie Hillman will be counted on to have an increased role in the offense this year, and offensive coordinator Adam Gase is expected to utilize him more in the game plan. Manning has high expectations for Hillman this season.
Fantasy Impact: Don't discount Hillman for a breakout season. He has plenty of talent and big-play ability. He has competition for playing time but the ability to earn plenty of work.

The Denver Broncos are working with RB Ronnie Hillman to try to keep his weight up during the season. Hillman dropped to under 180 pounds at the end of the 2012 season.
Fantasy Impact: He won't be able to start in the NFL if he keeps dropping weight like that.

Feb 21 03:12 pm

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox said he believes RB Ronnie Hillman is capable to become a No. 1 running back in the NFL. Fox said the team expects Hillman to play better next season and receive more playing time.
Fantasy Impact: We wouldn't be surprised if he emerges as the lead back in the Broncos' offense.

The Denver Broncos have big plans for RB Ronnie Hillman in their offense; however, for him to fulfill his potential, Hillman needs another offseason in an NFL strength program. He also needs to attack the line of scrimmage harder and understand where the hole is. At this point in his career, Hillman should be the back in the team's three-wide receiver sets, but he had to play more on early downs after RB Willis McGahee (knee) was injured. Hillman played 18 percent of the team's offensive snaps this past season.

Denver Broncos head coach John Fox said rookie RB Ronnie Hillman has plenty to learn in the league, including pass protection. 'If (not trusting him in pass protection) were the case, Ronnie Hillman wouldn't be on our team. We have great confidence in Ronnie. He's a young player that's learning, like all rookies in their rookie season in the National Football League. He's working hard to continue to grow and we're very pleased with Ronnie Hillman,' Fox said. Fox also said Hillman will get better with more repetitions.
Fantasy Impact: It is obvious the Broncos don't trust him just yet, which is why Knowshon Moreno got about all the work last week.

Denver Broncos RBs Ronnie Hillman, Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno will replace RB Willis McGahee's (knee, leg) carries during his absence.
Fantasy Impact: Hillman is the best bet for the most work in the offense.

Nov 22 07:43 am

Denver Broncos RB Ronnie Hillman said he understands that having a bigger workload means he needs to be reliable in pass protection. 'You've got to protect Peyton (Manning) a lot longer. I've been in there a lot, but if I do get an extended role, then it's a little more pressure, being able to do everything right every play that I'm there,' Hillman said.
