Who Should I Start? Jamaal Williams or Justice Hill

Sunday, December 22, 3:01 AM

Running back Jamaal Williams could see more time on the field when the New Orleans Saints face the Green Bay Packers on Monday. Alvin Kamara (groin) has been declared out after suffering an injured adductor in Week 15. Fellow backup Kendre Miller shouldered the backfield load for the rest of the way in that game and is expected to start against Green Bay. Even with the plethora of injuries dealt to the Saints all season, the team has been reluctant to work Williams into the mix. Williams has been on the field for a total of 13 offensive snaps since the Saints' Week 12 bye. With Kamara out, Williams may step in more frequently though his body of work in 2024 offers little hope for fantasy managers. In 11 games, Williams has averaged 3.7 yards per carry on 35 rushes and has seen only nine targets. He is an easy fade in Week 16 against a Packers defense that has allowed a league-best 3.46 yards per carry over the last four weeks.

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.
