Justice Hill News
Sunday, July 26, 10:44 AM
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is healthy again and remains the clear change-of-pace option behind Derrick Henry. A neck injury ended his 2025 season after 10 games, but Hill looked fully recovered during offseason practices. Before going down, he caught 21 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown while adding 93 yards and two scores on only 18 carries. That usage says plenty about where his fantasy value comes from. Hill set career highs with 42 receptions, 383 receiving yards, and three touchdowns the year before, yet he has never handled more than 84 carries in a season. Henry is still the centre of Baltimore's backfield after rushing 307 times for 1,595 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2025. Hill can spell him, protect the quarterback, and stay involved when the Ravens throw, but there is little reason to expect a large rushing workload while Henry is healthy. RotoBaller ranks Hill RB66 in PPR leagues. He is worth a late look in deeper formats that reward receptions, though his weekly role is too small for most standard drafts.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. News
Wednesday, July 29, 10:56 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) has returned to practice at training camp after suffering an offseason foot injury that required surgery, according to Jaguars senior reporter J.P. Shadrick. It's good news for Rodriguez's Week 1 availability, but he still hasn't been cleared for team drills early in camp, and he has only handled individual work to this point. The 25-year-old is expected to share backfield touches with Bhayshul Tuten in Duvall in his first year with the team in 2026, but Tuten has taken the early lead for clear RB1 duties in head coach Liam Coen's offense. C-Rod's familiarity with Coen dating back to his days in college at the University of Kentucky shouldn't be discounted, but the former sixth-rounder by the Washington Commanders in 2023 is looking like the clear RB2 for Jacksonville right now. Second-year back LeQuint Allen Jr. figures to be the team's primary third-down option in the backfield, which could leave Rodriguez without much weekly volume. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 39 fantasy RB for 2026. Rodriguez has work to do to earn a bigger role alongside Tuten.
