Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis missed practice on Friday because of an illness. Head coach Pat Shurmur sent him home and he is listed as questionable on the team's official injury report. However, Hillis is expected to play against the Miami Dolphins.
"Whatever it is, we don't feel like it will affect him on Sunday," Shurmur said on Friday. "We felt the best course of action was to just send him home and give him the best opportunity to get as much rest and fluids as we could."

Fantasy Analysis:

If Hillis is unable to play, Montario Hardesty would get the majority of the carries, much like he did during Friday's practice. Hillis is a fine start this week, but keep in mind that the Browns have been recently stressing the need to take it easy on him. Now that Hardesty is healthy, they want to give him more playing time at Hillis' expense as to keep Peyton fresh for the full season. I think that's going to happen as the season continues, so look for Hillis' workload to decrease a bit.
