Description: Kansas City halfback Peyton Hillis broke out of a season-long slump Sunday with 101 rushing yards in a loss to the Colts. | Insight: Part of the reason Hillis was able to produce so many yards was because he received a season-high 15 carries. Perhaps he'll see a similar workload next week against the Broncos. | | |

Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday. That puts him on track to play Sunday versus Oakland. | Insight: Starter Jamaal Charles is averaging 21.8 touches per game this season but he's been relied on even more heavily with Hillis out, averaging 26.5 touches per game in the last four contests. Hillis is unlikely to cut into Charles' workload but we think he'll take the touches Shaun Draughn has been receiving. Draughn is averaging 11.25 touches in the last four games. That still makes him a risky fantasy play, especially since the Raiders have been above average against the run (3.8 ypc). | | |

Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis (ankle) returned to the practice field on Monday, reports Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star. | Insight: We will get a better idea in a couple of days when the team issues their injury report as to whether he'll play this week. Given the excellent performances by Jamaal Charles, Hillis may not be fantasy worthy even if he is active this week. | | |
| 10/12/2012 5:14:00 PM |
Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6 after not practicing Friday. | Insight: When Hillis returns he's likely to cut into Shaun Draughn's workload but he won't be a useful fantasy play due to Romeo Crennel's affinity for Jamaal Charles. | | |
| 10/7/2012 10:35:00 AM |
Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis didn't practice and won't play on Sunday due to a sprained ankle. | Insight: There's no question Kansas City's backfield belongs to Jamaal Charles now that he is healthy again. Our only concern is overuse. | | |
| 10/3/2012 4:00:00 PM |
Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis didn't practice on Wednesday and continues to show minimal progress in his recovery from a sprained ankle. | Insight: Hillis is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore though we wouldn't expect much from him even if he plays. There's no question Kansas City's backfield belongs to Jamaal Charles now that he is healthy again. | | |
| 9/30/2012 11:48:00 AM |
Description: Kansas City halfback Peyton Hillis won't play Sunday versus the Chargers. Hillis sprained his ankle last week in a win over New Orleans. | Insight: Jamaal Charles should be primed for another giant fantasy effort Sunday with Hillis out of the lineup. | | |
| 9/27/2012 2:14:00 PM |
Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis was still wearing his walking boot on Wednesday. Hillis sprained his ankle last week in a win over the Saints. | Insight: There's no need to rush (no pun intended) Hillis back after the way Jamaal Charles performed in Week 3. Consider Hillis highly questionable for Sunday's game against San Diego. | | |
| 9/25/2012 11:00:00 AM |
Description: Adam Teicher of The Kansas City Star is reporting that Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis was seen in a walking boot on Monday. He left Sunday's game at New Orleans with an ankle injury. | Insight: Hillis reached awkwardly for a Matt Cassel pass and immediately walked off the field. Hillis may not be missed if Jamaal Charles can continue to run as he did last Sunday. | | |
| 9/23/2012 3:30:00 PM |
Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis left Sunday's game at New Orleans with an ankle injury. | Insight: Hillis reached awkwardly for a Matt Cassel pass and immediately walked off the field. Hillis may not be missed this week as Jamaal Charles has looked excellent. | | |
| 8/11/2012 11:59:00 AM |
Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis showed his versatility, rushing four times for 41 yards and catching an 11-yard touchdowns pass. | Insight: It remains to be seen how the division of the workload will go between Hillis and Jamaal Charles. Kansas City gave an ancient Thomas Jones 245 carries to Jamaal Charles' 230 in 2010 and a similar split could produce big dividends for Hillis owners, especially as the Chiefs try to limit Charles as he comes back from a torn ACL. | | |
| 8/2/2012 10:34:00 PM |
Description: According to NFL.com, Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis reported to training camp in "outstanding shape." NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks said Hillis has been running with "the urgency and physicality" that made him successful in Cleveland while also displaying "soft hands and superb receiving skills." | Insight: Kansas City gave an ancient Thomas Jones 245 carries to Jamaal Charles' 230 in 2010 and the team figures to be even more run friendly under new head coach Romeo Crennel. A similar split could produce big dividends for Hillis owners, especially as the Chiefs try to limit Charles as he comes back from a torn ACL. | | |
| 7/23/2012 5:22:00 PM |
Description: Chiefs running back Peyton Hillis could provide nice value as a late-round draft pick. According to the Kansas City Star, the team is aiming for Hillis and Charles to combine for 500 touches this season. | Insight: Charles' ceiling coming off ACL surgery is likely 240 carries and 40 catches, which leaves 260 touches to Hillis. With that kind of usage, the former Browns starter and Madden cover athlete could exceed 1,000 yards from scrimmage. | | |
| 3/15/2012 9:40:00 AM |
Description: Peyton Hillis signed a one-year deal to play for the Chiefs in 2012. The contract is worth $3 million. | Insight: Remember, Jamaal Charles is still Kansas City's featured back. So don't expect Hillis to go over the 1,000-yard mark in 2012. Hillis could get a good amount of carries in the red zone as Charles works his way back from a knee injury, so there's touchdown potential here. This move likely means that Jackie Battle, Thomas Jones and Le'Ron McClain will not be on the Chiefs next season. | | |

Description: Browns GM Tom Heckert indicated Thursday during a press conference that the future status of RB Peyton Hillis continues to remain "up in the air".
SOURCE: CANTON REPOSITORY | Insight: Just curious... when will the status be "clear"? | | |
| 11/30/2011 3:18:00 PM |
Description: Peyton Hillis (hamstring) participated in Browns practice Wednesday.
Source: Nate Ulrich via Twitter | Insight: Hillis received the majority of the touches in week 12 and came out no worse for wear and is putting in full practices. He should get another 20 touches this week, albeit, against the Ravens stout run defense. | | |
| 11/25/2011 4:07:00 PM |
Description: After Peyton Hillis (hamstring, questionable) returned to practice Friday, Browns coach Pat Shurmur suggested that he may be active for Sunday's game against the Bengals. | Insight: It's still an RB situation to avoid with Montario Hardesty in the mix and Chris Ogbonnaya. Hillis was declared out earlier in the week, so this does come as a surprise that he's a game-time decision. He should be on your bench against the Bengals top rush defense. | | |
| 11/21/2011 3:14:00 PM |
Description: Browns coach Pat Shurmur ruled out Peyton Hillis (hamstring) for Week 12 at his Monday press conference.
Source: Mary Kay Cabot via Twitter | Insight: This is the 3rd straight Monday that he's been declared out, so he doesn't appear close to a return. We've said on this show that we don't think Hillis will play another snap for the Browns, and even if he does, there's nothing to suggest that he'd been an everydown back with Montario Hardesty close to return and Chris Ogbonnaya running well. Plus, the Browns have yet to the play the Ravens or Steelers. We'd cut bait on Hillis and look for other healthier options on the wire. | | |
| 11/14/2011 7:00:00 PM |
Description: Browns RB Peyton Hillis will miss his fifth consecutive game on Sunday due to a hamstring injury.
SOURCE: SAC BEE | Insight: He last played in Cleveland's 24-17 loss to the Raiders back on October 16. Browns HC Pat Shurmur said he doesn't plan on placing Hillis on IR. "Peyton's making progress where we're hopeful that he can be back after next week," Shurmur said.

Description: At his Monday press conference, Browns coach Pat Shurmur ruled out both Peyton Hillis (hamstring) and Montario Hardesty (calf) for Week 10.
Source: May Kay Cabot via Twitter | Insight: Well, at least Hillis owners won't have to worry about whether or not he'll play. Chris Ogbannya will draw the start against the Rams, but that certainly won't be helpful, as his YPC average is around 2.7 and he's not picking up blitzes. He should only be considered a desperation in flex in deeper leagues. | | |
