Jalen Richard vs Dontrell Hilliard

Who’d you rather have?

- Richard has decent production last hear behind Martin and Lynch. This year he is only behind Jacobs. While Jacobs will the workhorse, Jalen should still see a good amount of playing time spelling Jacobs and getting in some passing down work

- Hilliard is a complete unknown, but looks to have the backup role clinched while Hunt is out. Chubb is going to be a workhorse, but can Hilliard carve out a nice little passing down role until Hunt is back?

Jalen has already proven what he can do, but Hilliard is on a better offense, so maybe he will get more opportunities?

I would gamble on Richard here between the two. As you mentioned, at least you know he can play.

With all the news on AB, do you think Richard gets a boost with AB out?

So after week 1, I still have the option to trade for Richard. Even though Richard didn't do anything last night, is he still a better bet than Hilliard? Will Richard become more involved as the season goes on (no I'm talking about workhorse status or anything, because we know he won't be that, but anything more than 1 rush for 3 yards). Hilliard did get in on a goal line series and scored a TD, but other than that, he didn't get many snaps behind Chubb (before his concussion).
