Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Blake Corum

Saturday, October 4, 2:11 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill had a monster game last week, but should be considered only a RB4/Flex option in deeper formats in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. Hill has appeared with outsized fantasy performances from time to time during his career, but has never had back-to-back top-10 finishes as a fantasy running back. With quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) out, the Ravens are set to lean on the Derrick Henry-led running attack, which could mean fewer targets for Hill, the primary driver of his fantasy value. Against a Houston defense that allows scoring drives at the lowest rate in the NFL, managers should tread cautiously with Hill before expecting a repeat of last week.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum has continued to see his role grow, but this increased workload might not be enough to put him on the fantasy radar against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5. Corum played 29 percent of the snaps last week and handled a season-high 11 touches, infringing on Kyren Williams' role. Corum should continue to handle double-digit touches most weeks, but he could struggle with efficiency this week. After all, he's facing a Niners defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. He would have some low-end RB3/flex appeal against a mediocre or subpar defense, but the 49ers are no joke. He'll have trouble moving the football during Thursday night's divisional battle.
