Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) was not able to practice on Monday for the second straight day this week. Hill suffered a concussion on Saturday in the team's Week 16 win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers and now is likely fighting an uphill battle to be available on a short turnaround in Week 17 against the Houston Texans on Christmas Day on Wednesday. Even if the 27-year-old takes part in practice on Tuesday, he'll need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist, which is unlikely to happen on a short week. Fantasy managers that have been using the pass-catching back in a flex spot should plan to be without Hill this week. Derrick Henry is Baltimore's clear lead back and will continue to be so on Wednesday, but if Hill is out, it will open the door for Keaton Mitchell and rookie Rasheen Ali to compete for change-of-pace work.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) didn't practice in Sunday's estimation. The 27-year-old had two carries for 30 yards in Saturday's AFC North encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he suffered a concussion and did not return. While there's a chance Hill could be ready for the Christmas meeting with the Houston Texans, it's unlikely. If that's the case, Rasheen Ali could serve as the No. 2 option out of the backfield, although Derrick Henry should get most of the touches.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) was forced to exit early during Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hill suffered a concussion after landing on his head during that second quarter. He was taken to the locker room and ruled out shortly after that. Afterwards, head coach John Harbaugh didn't sound optimistic about Hill being ready in time for their Christmas Day game on Wednesday. Honestly, it's tough to imagine Hill is going to get cleared from concussion protocol by Wednesday. Fantasy managers who were planning on using Hill should look elsewhere for help. Rasheen Ali would end up being the primary backup if Hill is unable to go. However, there's not many touches available with Derrick Henry being the workhorse back.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hill landed on his head and immediately exited to the locker room to be further evaluated. The team has decided to hold him out for the second half of this game due to a concussion. Rasheen Ali figures to see an increased role as the change-of-pace back to Derrick Henry in the backfield. Hill rushed the ball twice for 30 yards before exiting the contest. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see how he progresses before knowing his availability for Week 17.

Now that Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (personal) is slated to play in Week 16 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, he can be considered a fringe flex option for managers in PPR formats. The veteran back hasn't done much as a change-of-pace rusher behind starter Derrick Henry, but has been an effective receiver by drawing 50 targets and turning them into 42 catches and three touchdowns. The Steelers rank ninth against fantasy running backs, though Hill logged a top-30 finish among running backs in the first meeting. He's a low-ceiling option, but his receiving floor makes him playable, especially in formats with more than one flex spot.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (personal) missed the team's practice on Wednesday due to personal reasons. The Ravens still have one more day of practice this week on Thursday before heading into a big Week 16 divisional clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. The 27-year-old Hill should be back with the team before then and will look to continue his role as mainly a pass-catching change-of-pace option behind backfield leader Derrick Henry. Hill only has 198 rushing yards and one rushing score on 45 carries over 14 games in 2024, but he's added a career-high 42 catches on 50 targets for 383 yards and three more TDs. He's caught nine passes for 76 yards and a touchdown the last two weeks. Hill is a volatile fantasy asset because of his lack of volume behind King Henry, but fantasy managers could do worse with a flex option in deep PPR leagues.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill received a bit more opportunities when Sunday's game turned into a big-time blowout. In the 35-14 win, Hill finished with two carries for seven yards to go along with five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown on five targets. His 27-yard touchdown catch capped off five scores in five straight drives for the Ravens which put them ahead 35-7 at the time. This was his fourth finish as an RB2 or higher this season, but he'll go up against a much tougher defense in the Pittsburgh Steelers during Week 16.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has registered three fantasy-relevant weeks so far this season but does draw a solid matchup against the New York Giants in Week 15. They're one of the weakest teams against the run, giving up 141.7 yards per game and 14 total rushing touchdowns. Derrick Henry will likely get plenty of carries in this game, so unless there's some extra garbage time, Hill's ceiling will be quite limited. As of right now, Hill looks like a deeper-league flex play at best.
Dec 13, 2024 5:25 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill registered his third outing at an RB2 level or higher during their Week 12 win over the Chargers. Now, Hill and company take on an even better defense in the Philadelphia Eagles. They allow just 99.2 rushing yards per game and eight touchdowns on the ground all year. Their pass defense is also one of the tougher units in the league which makes Hill's week that much harder. He comes in as a very risky flex option in deeper leagues heading into this matchup.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill notched his first rushing touchdown of the season during the team's 30-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The change-of-pace back ended the game with four carries for 55 yards and a score to go along with two receptions for seven yards on two targets. Hill has averaged just over 15 rushing yards per game this year compared to 25.6 receiving. Midway through the fourth quarter, Hill found room on the left edge and raced past everyone for a 51-yard touchdown, the longest of his career. He'll take on the stout Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill isn't carrying an injury designation heading into Week 12, so it looks like he was cleared from his concussion. With that being said, the 27-year-old hasn't been very relevant in fantasy leagues this season. Hill has registered two double-digit performances in half-PPR formats, which are his only two weeks as an RB2 or higher. His Week 12 opponent, the Los Angeles Chargers, happens to allow the third-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing backfields. Fantasy managers will want to look elsewhere for a running back this week.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) was able to practice in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Hill suffered a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers and is working through the league's concussion protocol. It's a good sign that he ditched his non-contact jersey on Friday, but Hill still needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to get the green light to play on Monday night versus the Los Angeles Chargers. If Hill is cleared in time to play on Monday, he'll be a low-upside RB3/flex, at best, in point-per-reception leagues. His opportunities out of Baltimore's backfield could be more sparse down the stretch as second-year back Keaton Mitchell gets more involved. If Hill isn't cleared by an independent neurologist, Mitchell and rookie Rasheen Ali would be backing up Derrick Henry against the Bolts.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol but was able to put in a limited practice on Thursday. Hill apparently came out of the Week 11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a concussion and is now questionable to suit up for the Monday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12. The good news is the 27-year-old has an extra day to try and clear the concussion protocol this week, and the fact he was in a non-contact jersey on Thursday helps his chances. Hill has become less attractive as a deep-league flex at RB since the return of second-year back Keaton Mitchell. Fantasy managers will most likely want to avoid Hill this week since he's most likely going to at least be questionable to play on Monday. If Hill doesn't get the green light to face the Bolts, rookie Rasheen Ali would be in line to be active behind Derrick Henry and Mitchell.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill wasn't able to put together much of a fantasy-relevant week against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The pass-catching specialist registered two carries for 13 yards and caught four of his seven targets for 28 yards. He would have had one more catch for a good chunk of yards, but the Steelers took the ball right from his hands for an interception. Hill has only posted two relevant weeks so far this season, but he'll try to get going against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12.
Nov 17, 2024 6:04 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has struggled to produce over the last few weeks. The 27-year-old had a couple big fantasy performances, but has mostly been quiet this season. Hill has been barely involved in the rushing game, so his best chance to do damage is in the receiving game. Fellow back Keaton Mitchell figures to be in the mix for the Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's hard to imagine Hill having a significant role in the offense with Derrick Henry healthy. Hill is still worth stashing in certain formats, but won't be a starting option for Week 11.
Nov 17, 2024 11:00 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been a boom-or-bust option throughout most of the season. Last week, Hill rushed twice for five yards while hauling in one target for 14 yards through the air. It was a dud outing for Hill who is the primary backup for Derrick Henry in the backfield. Hill has struggled on the ground throughout most of the season, but salvaged his value at times with touchdowns through the air. He'll likely struggle once again to move the ball on the ground against the Denver Broncos tough defense. Hill hasn't done enough to earn the trust of fantasy managers for this Week 9 contest.
Nov 3, 2024 10:14 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been an inconsistent fantasy option throughout the season. Last week, Hill was able to salvage his fantasy value with three receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown through the air. Hill has struggled as a runner this season with only two games over 20 yards heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Ravens continue to lean on Derrick Henry as the lead back, so Hill is likely only going to have a minimal role. Fantasy managers should consider Hill as a boom-or-bust flex option for this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill found the end zone in the team's 41-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday. The 26-year-old finished with five carries for four yards, and three receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown. His fantasy-salvaging touchdown came during a running back screen play where he followed a convoy straight into the end zone. When the game script calls for a lot of air yards, Hill's fantasy value reaches its peak. He'll look to score again in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns.
Oct 22, 2024 8:20 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill returned to his usual fantasy output in Week 5 after a brief pop in Week 4. This is a good indication of what his season will look like as he's bound to have some big games here and there in PPR formats, but he's too inconsistent to start every week. The Ravens take on the Washington Commanders in Week 6, and they're right around the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points given up to opposing backfields. Derrick Henry will likely command a lot of the touches again, but Hill could get a chance at making some noise if the game turns into a shootout.
Oct 11, 2024 10:24 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill put together his best game of the season against the Buffalo Bills and finished as the RB10 in half-PPR leagues. He's currently the RB31 which puts him above the likes of Najee Harris, Chase Brown, Rico Dowdle, and Javonte Williams. The impressive part is Hill has only seen 14 carries compared to the aforementioned group getting no less than 29 so far. Hill has the eighth-most targets, seventh-most receptions, and third-most receiving yards out of all running backs right now. He'll remain in the pass-catching role out of the backfield, and he should still see a good bit of work in the team's first AFC North matchup of the season against the Bengals who are giving up the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing backfields.
