Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill handled two carries for a loss of 14 yards and corralled 1-of-2 targets for an additional three yards in his team's 41-40 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football. The 27-year-old combined with backfield mate Rasheen Ali for a total of five opportunities as incumbent starter Derrick Henry took a majority of the backfield work -- and ran wild -- against the Bills. Hill did gain a yard on the ground, but lost 15 on an awkward exchange with Lamar Jackson in which he fumbled and the ball bounced backward. While the seventh-year pro carried some low-end PPR value in 2024, it was spotty at best and wildly unpredictable. He may see such efforts again in a more pass-friendly game plan, but his floor is volatile for the time being. Baltimore will host the Cleveland Browns next Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is set to reprise his role as the pass-catching back this season after one of his best years in 2024. Throughout the 2024 season, Hill saw 42% of the offensive snaps, and he received 47 carries compared to 51 targets during those opportunities. His average depth of target was -0.5, so most of his work through the air came on dump-offs and screen plays. He's likely to see a lot more of the same as long as Derrick Henry is healthy. He's currently ranked around RB68 in the RotoBaller Week 1 rankings with a projected 3.7 fantasy points against the Buffalo Bills in PPR leagues. So, those in standard-sized leagues can look to better options in Week 1.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill crossed the goal line in a 28-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round. The change-of-pace back caught a touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson as he improvised and escaped the pass rush at the end of the second quarter. Hill finished the game with six carries for 12 yards and four receptions for 13 yards and a touchdown on four targets. Derrick Henry was dominating the run game, so Hill didn't see as many opportunities with a 39% snap share. Hill will try to find the end zone again in the divisional round against either the Buffalo Bills or Houston Texans.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) is officially active ahead of Saturday's Wild-Card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hill will be back in the mix after missing the last two games due to a concussion. He has cleared the league's concussion protocol and should have his normal workload during Saturday's game. Normally, Hill doesn't see many carries with Derrick Henry getting a majority of the carries in the backfield. However, Hill does have four receptions or more in three of his last five games. He should be able to get involved as a pass-catcher, but it probably won't be enough to warrant using him in DFS contests.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion, illness) was upgraded to a full practice on Wednesday after he kicked off the week on Tuesday with a limited practice. Hill missed the final two games of the regular season due to a concussion that he suffered in Week 16 while also dealing with an illness. It appears the 27-year-old is feeling much better, although he still will need clearance from an independent neurologist later this week to return to play on Saturday night when the team hosts the visiting division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the postseason. When healthy, the pass-catching specialist has limited fantasy upside as the change-of-pace option behind lead back Derrick Henry. However, the Ravens were the highest-scoring offense in the NFL in 2024, and Hill did set career-highs in receptions (42) and receiving yards (383) in 15 games.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion/illness) returned to practice on Tuesday after missing last week's game against the Cleveland Browns with a concussion and illness. Hill suffered a concussion in the Week 16 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. While the 27-year-old has played second-fiddle to Derrick Henry this season, he has been important in the passing game with 42 receptions for 228 yards and a touchdown in 2024. With Zay Flowers (knee) banged up and at risk of missing the Wild Card matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hill could be asked to do more as a pass-catcher on Saturday. The statuses of both players are worth monitoring.
Jan 7, 2025 2:32 PM EST
According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion/illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Cleveland Browns. Hill will now miss his second-straight contest. During the week he was unable to take the practice field and will set his sights on returning in the opening round of the postseason. As a result, Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali will operate as the backup options behind workhorse Derrick Henry. Throughout the season, Hill has seen most of his work on passing downs. He has seen at least three targets in seven games and even saw five or more in five of them. Fantasy managers should not view Ali or Mitchell has viable options in this game as Henry should see the vast majority of attempts.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion, illness) missed the team's final practice of the week on Thursday, meaning it's likely he'll be inactive for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Saturday against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, which would lead to a bigger role for Keaton Mitchell. Hill did not suit up for the Week 17 blowout win over the Houston Texans on Christmas Day last Wednesday. Head coach John Harbaugh said earlier this week that the team was expecting the 27-year-old pass-catching RB to return to action for the final regular season game, but after three missed practices, Baltimore will most likely list Hill as out on the final injury report on Thursday. Mitchell would see change-of-pace work behind starter Derrick Henry if Hill is out again on Saturday but would be a stretch as a starting lineup option in fantasy.
Jan 2, 2025 12:43 PM EST
According to Jamison Hensley of ESPN, Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion/illness) is not practicing on Wednesday. Hill was also listed as a non-participant during Tuesday's estimated report and is in danger of missing Saturday's game. Hill also sat out last weekend and may miss his second-straight contest if he is unable to practice in some capacity on Thursday. Throughout the season, Hill has been deployed as the No.2 running back in the Baltimore offense and as the change-of-pace option behind Derrick Henry. Hill has seen at least three targets in seven games this season and tallied at least 30 receiving yards in each of these games. If Hill cannot return on Saturday, Keaton Mitchell will move up to the No.2 spot.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion, illness) was listed as a non-participant in the first Week 18 practice on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Rasheen Ali (hip) was listed as limited. Hill suffered a concussion in Week 16 and was unable to play in last week's blowout win over the Houston Texans on Christmas Day on Wednesday. Head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that the team was expecting the 27-year-old to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale this Saturday against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, but it appears that Hill hasn't quite passed the league's concussion protocol. Derrick Henry is Baltimore's clear lead back, but with Hill still not practicing, the rest of the team's backfield is up in the air heading into the matchup against the Browns. Hill will need to practice on either Wednesday or Thursday to have a shot at playing on Saturday. If he's out again, Keaton Mitchell should be the RB2.
Dec 31, 2024 7:51 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that running back Justice Hill (concussion, illness)is just sick and will be available to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale on Saturday against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. Hill did not play on Christmas Day last Wednesday in the blowout win over the Houston Texans due to a concussion, but he's apparently cleared the league's protocol and will play in a game that the Ravens must win to clinch the AFC North division title. The 27-year-old could have his practice repetitions limited this week, and as long as he doesn't suffer a setback, he should return to his role as the change-of-pace, pass-catching option behind starter Derrick Henry in Baltimore's backfield. In half-PPR scoring, Hill has averaged 7.1 points in 15 games in 2024 with 47 carries for 228 yards and a TD while adding 42 catches for 383 yards and another three touchdowns.
Dec 30, 2024 6:08 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) did not practice at all this week and has officially been ruled out for Wednesday's Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans. This was the expectation after Hill suffered a concussion in last Saturday's divisional win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With a quick turnaround in Week 17, Hill was never expected to clear the league's concussion protocol. He will now hope to recover in time to play in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Jan. 5. Derrick Henry will continue to operate as Baltimore's clear lead back versus the Texans on Wednesday, with Keaton Mitchell and rookie Rasheen Ali seeing expanded roles as change-of-pace options behind Henry. Neither Mitchell or Ali will likely see enough touches to warrant standalone fantasy value.
Dec 24, 2024 5:12 PM EST
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.
Dec 23, 2024 8:32 PM EST
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.
Dec 22, 2024 6:30 PM EST
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.
Dec 22, 2024 11:00 AM EST
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.
Dec 21, 2024 6:25 PM EST
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.
Dec 20, 2024 10:39 AM EST
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.
Dec 18, 2024 5:51 PM EST
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.
Dec 16, 2024 10:43 AM EST
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.
