Hilliman is on pace to start Thursday at New England after both Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) were ruled out for the contest.

EDGE Analysis

Hilliman doesn't have a great opportunity to take advantage of the elevated role, facing a Patriots defense that ranks third against the run (78 yards per game) and first in scoring (6.8 points per contest) by a considerable margin. Though he's had a regular role in the Daniel Jones-led offense the past two games, Hilliman has averaged just 2.8 yards per carry on his 19 rushes.
