Who Should I Start? Boston Scott or Justice Hill

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott notably scored at least one touchdown in all eight of his career games against the New York Giants heading into Monday. This streak began in December of 2019 and extended to January of 2023. Unfortunately, his luck ran out in Week 16 of the 2023 season. Scott rushed just one time for three yards and lost a fumble on a kick return. D'Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell remain the clear lead backs in Philadelphia, so Scott is nowhere near the fantasy radar.

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.
