"Joe Thomas, he can have his opinions all he wants," Hillis said. "He's kind of like a crazy ex-girlfriend. It's been over a year. Get over it."

Kansas City Chiefs RB Peyton Hillis had just seven carries for 16 yards in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, and he added three catches for eight yards. Hillis had just one more touch than RB Shaun Draughn, a preseason sensation. Draughn managed six carries for 29 yards and a score, while added two catches for 12 yards.
Fantasy Tip: It's too early to totally pull the plug on Hillis in fantasy leagues, especially with Jamaal Charles (knee) having just one game under his belt after returning from a torn ACL. However, Hillis is not worth starting in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills in any format.
Thu, 06 Sep 2012 06:58:49 -0700
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel loves RB Jamaal Charles' speed and RB Peyton Hillis' power, and he plans to use both backs often in Week 1. However, Crennel added the flow of the game will dictate which back sees more time. "Just how we feel, how it's going," Crennel said when asked if he has a carry-split plan for Charles and Hillis. "And, that's totally honest with you. You can't say how a game is going to go. We go up there and we work all these hours at night and we put a game plan together, but if a play is not working, then you don't keep calling that play. So, whatever is working, that's what we're going to call, and that's why many times you look at that offensive call sheet that has so many plays on it because if they're not working, then you've got something else to go to."
Fantasy Tip: Owners must take a wait-and-see approach when it comes to the Chiefs' backfield as Charles and Hillis will likely split carries for now. If Charles can prove he is all the way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, however, he should emerge as the lead back. Consider both backs as RB2 options for Week 1.

If we do that I think we can win some ball games."

Thu, 14 Jun 2012 10:46:54 -0700
The Kansas City Chiefs are built to run the football in 2012. During the offseason, their three major additions - OL Eric Winston, RB Peyton Hillis and TE Kevin Boss - were aimed at helping the running game. Hillis should give the team a strong balance to RB Jamaal Charles (knee). If the Chiefs are able to get the football in the hands of Charles and Hillis at least 500 times this year, it should lead to a successful season.
"He's bringing power, explosiveness, he's strong, he's going to catch the ball, he's got great hands. I feel he's an all-around player like me, so I feel like we can move the ball," Charles said of Hillis, while noting he believes the two will make a good combination. "When you have a guy in there that you know is just as good, if not a lot better than you are, that's really good too," Hillis said.
Fri, 04 May 2012 12:35:05 -0700
