Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Emanuel Wilson

Monday, December 1, 3:12 PM

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that running back Justice Hill (neck) will be out three to four weeks with a disc issue in his neck, but there's still a chance that he will return this year, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. Hill injured his neck in practice early last week and landed on Injured Reserve before the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. The 28-year-old pass-catching back will miss at least three more games, but he will be eligible to return from IR in Week 17 on the road at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. Keaton Mitchell was starting to take on a bigger role behind starter Derrick Henry even before Hill was injured, so if he does return before the end of the 2025 regular season, Hill could be Baltimore's RB3 on passing downs. He only has 18 rushing attempts on the year for 93 yards and two TDs, adding 169 receiving yards and one score.

Across 14 games this season, Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has recorded 441 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 103 touches. The 26-year-old is the primary RB2 in Green Bay behind star Packers running back Josh Jacobs. Wilson has logged just 27 yards from scrimmage on nine touches over the last three weeks, demonstrating his limited standalone fantasy value. However, Jacobs has been on the injury report for several weeks due to a lingering knee issue, and Wilson would be in a position to boost his production if Jacobs were to miss time. In the one game Jacobs has already missed this season, Wilson recorded 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Wilson could be a player worth targeting on the waiver wire in case Jacobs suffers an injury.
