Opponent: Oakland Raiders
This could be my favorite match-up of week one. For starters, the Cincinnati Bengals LOVE Jeremy Hill. That was the rumor coming out of training camp in August anyways.
Hill burst onto the scene in 2014, surprising not only the city of Cincinnati, but fantasy football owners across the country as well. In his first six games of last season, Hill had 10+ carries just one time. However, despite the limited opportunity presented to him, he emerged as a top 10 scorer at the running back position.

Sounds pretty good, right?
Just wait. It gets better.
Hill’s week one opponent is none other than the Oakland Raiders. While the silver and black may be on the “up & up”, the fact remains that they were the worst team in the NFL at points allowed to tailbacks.
