Justice Hill is Avoidable Against Bears in Week 8

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.

DJ Giddens Remains a Handcuff Option in Week 7

Friday, October 17, 8:21 PM

Indianapolis Colts running back DJ Giddens was quiet in a Week 6 win over the Arizona Cardinals as he did not receive a touch while playing just two snaps on offense. The Colts surprisingly turned to Ameer Abdullah in the game as he notched two touches behind workhorse Jonathan Taylor. Giddens will look to get back in the stat sheet in a Week 7 road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Colts are one of the few teams that lean heavily on just one running back in Taylor, which doesn't leave much work for his backups. That being said, Giddens is still worth keeping an eye on as a handcuff option in case Taylor is forced to miss time at any point, although that could change if he plays behind Abdullah again in Week 7.
