Who Should I Start? Boston Scott or Justice Hill

Monday, November 4, 12:01 PM

Free-agent running back Boston Scott (knee) is reportedly fully healthy and ready to return to the NFL after suffering a partially torn meniscus in his knee before the start of the regular season, according to sources. The former Philadelphia Eagles RB has been rehabbing the injury the last two months but it now prepared to join a team soon. The 29-year-old was with the Pittsburgh Steelers during training camp but was cut with an injury settlement after injuring his knee. The former sixth-round pick by the New Orleans Saints in 2018 out of Louisiana Tech should latch on somewhere as a change-of-pace option, but he won't necessarily be worth a waiver-wire pickup for RB-needy fantasy managers once he finds a new team. Scott's fantasy value for the rest of 2024 will depend on where he lands. Stay tuned. In 15 games with Philly last year, he had 20 carries for 86 yards and caught four passes for 52 yards.

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.
