Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Dameon Pierce

Saturday, October 25, 11:29 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has received a bit of an uptick in snaps while Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been sidelined. A combination of the defense giving up a historic amount of points while the offense fails to get any type of rhythm meant Hill had some more passing plays to work with. Unfortunately, that only turned into nine fantasy points across their last two games. In the three games that Jackson started and finished, Hill registered a total of nine fantasy points as well. If Jackson returns against the Chicago Bears, Hill will likely take a bigger step back snap wise. On top of that, the Bears have been better against opposing running backs through the air than on the ground. Fantasy managers can avoid Hill in this matchup if possible.

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce played a season-high 16 snaps and had seven carries for 21 yards in his team's last game before the bye week. However, it was his first game being active since Week 1, and all his work came in the fourth quarter of their blowout win over the Ravens. With Nick Chubb getting early-down work and Woody Marks as a promising prospect for passing downs, Pierce will likely have no role except in mop-up duty or an occasional one-off carry. He is the No. 69-ranked RB in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 7 and is not expected to be a fantasy factor going forward, barring injury to Chubb or Marks.
