Davis Mattek: RotoViz Articles

Over/Under: 95.5

Stephen Hill: NFL Touchdowns

Over/Under: 5.5

Wide receiver Stephen Hill was a player of much fascination for the early RotoViz writers, and when he opened his career with an 89-yard, two-touchdown performance in Week 1 of the 2012 season — against promising then-Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore, no less — we all assumed he would be a future Hall-of-Famer.

But he managed just 21 receptions in his rookie year and hasn’t played an NFL snap since his second season in 2013.

How many touchdowns did Hill score in the NFL?

Davis’ Pick: Over
Answer: 4 – Under
