Justice Hill To Have Limited Role In Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 8:16 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill won the backup running back job to Derrick Henry, but his role will be limited with Henry starting the season healthy in Week 1. Hill has shown nice change of pace in the backfield in the past and can catch passes out of the backfield, but with Henry healthy, the bellcow should have a stranglehold on carries in the Ravens' backfield. Hill has big-play explosiveness but he just isn't likely to get a heavy share of carries or targets out of the backfield early on in the season. He is more than capable as a backup back and is worth holding onto in fantasy leagues as a down-the-road target but during the time that Henry is healthy, Hill should have little-to-no consistent role in the offense.

Ashton Jeanty Leads Raiders to Week 1 Win vs. Dolphins

Sunday, September 13, 4:05 PM

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had 23 carries for 102 rushing yards and added six receptions for 45 yards and two receiving touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win against the visiting Miami Dolphins. The second-year back from Boise State was quarterback Kirk Cousins' preferred target in Week 1, and he hauled in all six of his targets in the home-opening victory. Jeanty was a workhorse in 2025, logging 266 carries for 975 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie campaign, and he is expected to keep shouldering a heavy workload early in the 2026 season. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak will likely lean on Jeanty again in Week 2 against the host Los Angeles Chargers, who ranked fifth in the league against the pass last season but were inconsistent against the run. Jeanty remains a high-end RB2 for fantasy managers as the Raiders hit the road to face the Bolts.
