How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Hill scores 3.2 standard points a game, RB60 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 2.1 and 3.4; 0 boom weeks (12+) and 7 busts (under 5). Next up, in Week 9, the Jaguars allow the 1st-fewest standard points to RBs, 11.7 a game.
Hill scores 4.3 half-PPR points a game, RB53 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 3.0 and 5.2; 0 boom weeks (16+) and 7 busts (under 6.5). Next up, in Week 9, the Jaguars allow the 1st-fewest half-PPR points to RBs, 14.3 a game.
Hill scores 5.4 PPR points a game, RB52 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 3.8 and 7.0; 0 boom weeks (20+) and 7 busts (under 8). Next up, in Week 9, the Jaguars allow the 2nd-fewest PPR points to RBs, 17.0 a game.
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the RB24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
He is a pass-catching back: 51% of his touches are targets (league 18%). Run-pass options feed him: 21% of his carries (league 7%). His share of the team's touches is 11%: on third down it climbs to 19%; inside the 20 it falls to 4%. Short yardage goes elsewhere: 8% of those touches against 11% overall.
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own touches, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying backs; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Hill's -2.7 EPA is 26th of 70 backs. The biggest share comes after the catch (+18.9, 48th percentile per target). His runs rank in the 99th percentile (+3.9). Incompletions cost him more than most (-6.6, 19th percentile).
career +0.01 over 2019–2025 · the lowest of his 6 seasons
How this is measured
Every carry and target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. Runs are per carry, the receiving parts per target. The percentile is him among the qualifying backs, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 30 touches.
He is targeted behind right 4.6× as often as the league (40% of his targets against 9%) but averages -0.03 EPA a target there.
How this is measured
Every target with a charted depth and direction this season; sacks and throws with no charted direction are left out. Left and right are as the offense sees the field. Cells with fewer than three targets show no EPA.

Touches are steady: 7 a game over his last three against 6.1 for the season. 8 straight games below a starter's median in touches. EPA / touch is falling too: -0.27 over the last three.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 31st-toughest slate vs the run: his opponents rank 23.3 of 32 on average (league middle 16.6). Ahead: 4 of his next 9 are top-10 vs the run and 4 are bottom-10, starting with the Jaguars (1st) in Week 9.
