His second season has gotten off to a rough start, but Jeremy Hill is confident he can turn it around. Hill knows his play from the first three games this season has been largely uninspiring. He doesn't need to consult his fantasy football roster to see that.

Cincinnati deserves plenty of credit for being 3-0, but the Bengals’ success has also come with some serious misfortune befalling the teams around them. Baltimore’s Terrell Suggs is already out for the year, and the same week Pittsburgh got back Le’Veon Bell, it lost Ben Roethlisberger to an MCL sprain.

Andy Dalton Wins Me Over A Little Bit More

Against the Ravens, Andy Dalton won me over a little bit more. Oh, he had help. Namely from a player who won me over years ago. AJ Green had arguably his best day as a pro in Baltimore. Other receivers - namely on the eventual game-winning drive that ended with AJ's abusing the Ravens' secondary again - had key contributions.
