The Facts: Hue Jackson's message to Hill this offseason has been simple: Do believe the hype.

Diehards Line:As ESPN.com's Coley Harvey notes, the Bengals OC and his young halfback have found it difficult to avoid all the praise that has been heaped on Hill this spring and summer. A growing number of pundits and fantasy experts have started believing the running back will build upon his strong rookie season with a stronger sophomore campaign. It's well-deserved praise. After all, Hill rushed for 1,124 yards, becoming only the 10th player in franchise history to collect more than 1,000 yards in a season. The bulk of his yards and carries came in the second half of the 2014 season following injuries to Giovani Bernard. Across the final nine weeks, no NFL back had more rushing yards than Hill. So, do the Bengals shield Hill from the heightened expectations? "You don't," Jackson said. Yes, Giovani Bernard is in the mix and will get his touches, but fantasy owners shouldn't shy away from Hill.
