Lions' Wes Hills Outlook for Fantasy Playoffs After Scoring 2 TDs vs. Bucs

After rushing for the first two touchdowns of his NFL career against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Detroit Lions running back Wes Hills figures to be a hot commodity on the fantasy football waiver wire next week.

Hills had never registered a touch in an NFL regular-season game prior to Sunday, but with Bo Scarbrough out due to a rib injury, Detroit employed Hills as its short-yardage back against Tampa.

It is notable that Hills got plenty of usage even with Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic active (McKissic left the game with a stinger), but it is difficult to trust him as a fantasy starter in Week 16, which is the championship game in most leagues.
