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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill found the end zone for the first time this season as the Ravens dismantled the Buffalo Bills by a score of 35-10. Hill only saw four carries for 18 yards on the ground, but did most of his damage in the passing game. He saw six targets which he turned into six receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown. The next-most targeted player in this game was Derrick Henry and Nelson Agholor who received three targets each. Hill has explosive ability when it comes to catching passes out of the backfield, and the Ravens' offense seems to rely a lot less on deeper throws this season. Head coach John Harbaugh will continue to get him involved, but Hill continues to be game script dependent, which would lead to more of a flex play in deeper leagues. He'll look to continue this type of performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill remains the go-to option in the backfield when it comes to passing downs. In two games, he's seen five carries for 25 yards compared to eight receptions on 10 targets for 62 yards. The only fantasy value that Hill currently has is in PPR formats and games turn into good, old-fashioned shootouts. Hill could potentially start in a flex spot for fantasy managers in very deep leagues after the Dallas Cowboys were gashed both on the ground and through the air by Alvin Kamara in Week 2. There are likely to be running lanes and flats open for Hill to find, but Derrick Henry will be the first one to get a crack at those opportunities. Hill is better left on the bench as he barely comes into the RB3 conversation.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill signed a two-year $6 million contract extension with the Baltimore Ravens, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The 26-year-old has gradually grown into a more significant role in the Baltimore offense every season and is currently on pace to set a new career-high in targets and receptions out of the backfield. So far this season, Hill has logged eight more snaps than Derrick Henry and caught eight of his ten targets for 62 receiving yards. He has added 25 yards on the ground on five attempts. Fantasy managers in PPR formats should view Hill as a low-end flex play, given his role as a pass-catcher in the Baltimore offense going forward. However, in standard formats, Hill is best left on the waiver-wire given the few rushing attempts he sees.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill notched a quieter game in the Week 2 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. He only received four carries compared to Derrick Henry's 18 and hauled in two receptions on two targets. Hill remains the primary back in passing situations, and the Ravens weren't playing from behind in most of this game. That situation is not likely to change as the season rolls on, so his fantasy value will be dependent on the game script. This offense hasn't been able to find a consistent stride yet, so Hill hasn't been able to get any garbage time opportunities either. In Week 3, the Ravens will hit the road and play the Dallas Cowboys, another tougher defense that will test their offensive potential and could translate to more passing work for Hill.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill can be left out of fantasy managers' lineups for the team's Week 2 home matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Hill took just one carry for three yards in Baltimore's Week 1 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. He also added 52 yards on six catches and eight targets. The fifth-year RB was heavily involved in the Ravens' passing game while tying for second in the team lead in targets and with the third-most receptions and yards. He was clearly the first up in passing situations for the Ravens, but will be challenging to project for such a role weekly. With backfield mate Derrick Henry to take most of the early-down work -- and project for most of the goal-line carries, too -- the 26-year-old RB will be a volatile, game-script-dependent play. He'll be tough to trust in Baltimore's home opener this Sunday.

When asked about running back Justice Hill, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh referred to him as a "high-value running back." It's apparent that Hill has solidified his role as the RB2 in Baltimore's backfield. "he's a high-caliber running back, I think he's going to play a lot," said Harbaugh. However, with Derrick Henry in front of him and Lamar Jackson slated to get his fair share of the team's carries, the opportunities will be scant for the fifth-year RB. Hill had the most productive season of his career in 2023, amassing 593 yards and four touchdowns on 112 total touches. He holds little standalone value but would be the most obvious player to benefit if Henry were to miss any time. Standing as the current RB72 in NFFC ADP, Hill presents as nothing more than a handcuff option or late-round best-ball flier.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill emerged as the leader in the Baltimore backfield during the Divisional Round, rushing 13 times for 66 yards and making two catches for 11 yards in the team's commanding 34-10 victory over the Texans. His 13 carries matched a season-high, and his 66 rushing yards marked his highest in a game all season, surpassing his previous best of 48 yards. Dealing with injuries to running backs J.K. Dobbins and later Keaton Mitchell throughout the season, Hill seized the opportunity that came his way. Baltimore is set to host the AFC title game next week against either the Chiefs or Bills, both of whom rank below average in DVOA against the run. They are both in the bottom half in points allowed to running backs this year, and the Ravens are likely to continue relying on whoever the hot hand is in their backfield.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been a boom-or-bust type of fantasy player all year long, but he's seen a lot more busts than booms. His bigger appeal comes in PPR formats since he seems to be the favored back when it comes to passing downs, but he barely cracked the top 60 this season in carries and rushing yards. To make matters worse, the Houston Texans give up the sixth-fewest rushing yards and the lowest yards per carry in the league right now. With Dalvin Cook also in the mix, and Lamar Jackson still taking some carries away from the backfield, Hill's amount of work could be very minimal. In turn, that makes him an extremely risky option.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is fresh off of his best game this season after playing a huge role in the passing game against the Miami Dolphins. He even posted 16.0 yards per carry even though he only received three carries in that game. In Week 18, however, it's unclear how much action he's going to see since the Ravens have clinched the number-one seed and the bye in the AFC. Gus Edwards seems likely to get plenty of rest, so Hill could see a bit of work while Melvin Gordon III is the next in the line to get some carries if both starters sit out for most of the game. Fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere for a running back since his workload is cloudy at best right now.
Jan 5, 2024 5:10 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill had his best game of the season and put up almost 20 half-PPR fantasy points in the 56-19 blowout win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. Hill only saw three carries but gained 48 yards on the ground (16.0 average) while adding a season-high five catches on five targets for a season-high 64 receiving yards and a touchdown. In addition to his work on offense, the 26-year-old had 101 return yards on two kickoffs. Teammate Gus Edwards had 16 rushing attempts for 68 yards and also found the end zone on the ground. It was a nice showing for Hill, but he'll be a volatile fantasy option in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers now that Baltimore has locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye.
Jan 1, 2024 3:42 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill ended up the number-one back in Week 16 because the game script allowed for it. Hill has always been the one to get more of the passing down work over Gus Edwards. The issue is that Hill has only scored one touchdown all season and the last time he produced a double-digit fantasy performance, even in PPR formats, since Week 5. On top of that, the Miami Dolphins are a top five defense against opposing running backs and they've been even better over the last couple of weeks, allowing just 69 yards on 27 carries. His role in the offense warrants some extra value, but that only amounts to a low-end flex play.
