I picked up Hill in my fantasy league immediately.

I'd like to see a balance between the two. Hill is the traditional RB, but Bernard is supremely talented and shouldn't be relegated to a fill in. A 60/65-40/35% split seems ideal to keep both fresh. Quality over quantity. But Hill deserves the higher workload, and I think he can handle it too.
Agreed, Hill should definitely get the higher workload. Bernard is GREAT but he's not built to handle a heavy workload. I expect a 60-40 split to be honest. I think we're going to run even more this year and will likely utilize Jake Fisher in unbalanced lines ala Dennis Roland back in the day. Hearing Fisher can actually catch the ball too! Should be an exciting year. Hopefully we'll see Bernard in the slot at times too ala Andrew Hawkins.
