Is Gio the starter now?

I don't really see it that way. Hill is a decent pass blocker, which is one of the things a RB has to do in the passing game. Also, he can catch the ball, but Gio is better as a receiver. Hill can go out in routes, we just don't use him that way very much.

It really comes down to how the team runs the offense. If they want to use an extra TE in pass blocking and use the RB as a receiver that's one way. Or you can put the TE in a pattern and leave the RB in to block. Or everyone goes out in a pass route.

It can also change depending on the score. With a good lead we might run more and eat the clock and keep our defense fresh.

What's nice is that we have both of them, which gives the team options in game planning and in-game adjustments. Hill still gets the start though in my book.
