Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or James Cook

Friday, November 14, 5:02 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) has been officially ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Hill was able to get in a limited practice on Friday after missing the first two sessions of the week, but will ultimately end up missing his first game of the season in Week 11. The 27-year-old has filled the passing-down role in Baltimore's backfield behind Derrick Henry, handling 18 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns along with 21 catches for 169 yards and another touchdown on 27 targets. His absence will lead to more reps for Keaton Mitchell, who has been dynamic on his touches this season. Head coach John Harbaugh has told reporters that he hopes to incorporate Mitchell more on game day, and we will get a good chance to see that in Week 11 against the Browns.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook III is set to face a tough Houston Texans' defense on Thursday night that has allowed just 87.1 rushing yards per game, which ranks third in the NFL. It could be tough sledding for Cook on Thursday against a stout Texans defense, but he remains a must-start in Week 12. Cook is averaging 115.8 scrimmage yards per game and has produced eight touchdowns over 10 contests. The 26-year-old back is enjoying his best season, and the Bills are sure to feature Cook on Thursday. Look for another strong showing and RB1 potential for Cook this week. Despite the brutal matchup, Cook should be in all fantasy lineups and is ranked 11th among all running backs for Week 12.
