Justice Hill's Role in Question After NFL Draft

Saturday, May 2, 5:50 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was an early offseason winner when the team declined to offer fourth-year speedster Keaton Mitchell a restricted free agent tender, allowing him to sign with the Chargers and removing Hill's biggest competition for passing down work from the roster. Unfortunately for Hill, the Ravens selected Clemson's Adam Randall in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and while at 6'2" and 235 pounds, Randall profiles physically closer to lead back Derrick Henry, he began his college career as a wide receiver, and his clearest path to an early role is through the passing game. Randall's unique background and rare measurables could eventually make him an every-down back, but as long as Henry is on the roster, any early success he finds will be at the expense of Hill. Hill handled only 1.8 carries across his ten games in 2025, but still saw 27 targets. Should that receiving work dry up, he will offer very little in terms of fantasy production, and he becomes an obvious drop candidate, reflected by his current RB102 Rotoballer dynasty ranking.

Dylan Sampson News

Dylan Sampson in a Good Spot After NFL Draft

Tuesday, April 28, 5:50 AM

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson led the team in targets and receptions out of the backfield as a fourth-round rookie in 2025, and his role appears to be secure heading into his second season. After double-dipping at the position last year, the Browns made no additions to the running back room in the 2026 NFL Draft, though they did make improvements to the offense as a whole, which could create more scoring opportunities for both Sampson and 2025 second-round pick Quinshon Judkins, who appears to be on track for the season opener after suffering a dislocated ankle in Week 16. Cleveland spent the ninth overall pick on offensive tackle Spencer Fano before adding wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston within 15 picks of one another in the first and second rounds, transforming a position of weakness into one of potential strength. The Browns still head into 2026 with a less-than-ideal quarterback situation, though negative game scripts could work in the favor of Sampson if he's able to fully take hold of the dedicated passing back role, and at RotoBaller's dynasty RB51, he offers clear upside as a low-cost trade target or add-on to a larger deal.
