#7---WHY ?

Lining him up elsewhere means taking snaps away from other guys. If you line him wide, who are you taking off the field? At TE, he has Johnson, Moreau, and Graham ahead of him. Might be some opportunities that can be designed in the running game over the next couple of weeks, but from what I’ve found, only 7% of his offensive snaps have been in the backfield - his lowest percentage by position.

I think there will be situational opportunities to feature Hill more, but this offense has a lot of weapons this season. Might be they need to let him take over kick returns - I really don’t like Shaheed in that role since he is an emerging WR.

This is kinda the quiet part that no one wants to say. He's still very good at what he does... but we kinda don't need him to be the "when all else fails" QB anymore. Carr is the guy.

He's not going to take any of the snaps away from Olave/MT/Sha at WR and he's not going to block anyone as a TE so it's hard to get him on the field there.

His best skills are power runs and catching screens/passes out of the backfield. There really is an obvious and golden opportunity to start lining him up in the backfield as a RB and I'm sure he will do very well. Not sure why we haven't explored this yet.
