Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis has recovered from the bout of strep throat that kept him from playing in week three. He practiced on Wednesday and is expected to be at full strength for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
But that doesn't mean the Browns will hand all of the backfield duties to him. Hillis' week-three fill-in, Montario Hardesty , impressed coaches by rushing for 67 yards on 14 carries and has earned some more playing time. While head coach Pat Shurmur said Wednesday that Hillis is the team's No. 1 running back, he also told reporters that Hardesty was "further along" and "can handle more" than he thought.

Fantasy Analysis:

Shurmur didn't say exactly how much playing time Hardesty will see alongside a healthy Hillis, but it's pretty easy to say that Hardesty will take a noticeable chunk out of Hillis' value. This is what the Browns have wanted to do this season; they've wanted to give Hardesty more work as to keep Hillis fresh for the entire year. I don't think this will develop into a full-blown timeshare, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if this becomes a 70-30 split starting this week.
