Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Jarquez Hunter

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill saw a season high of four targets in Monday night's loss to the Lions. He caught three for 45 yards, which more than doubled his passing yards from the first two weeks. However, in a game where bell cow Derrick Henry failed to get rolling, outside of an early touchdown run, and had a costly fumble late in the game, Hill was not given a single carry. On a Ravens team not projected to see many multiple-score deficits, this was the exact game script that should have been to Hill's benefit. And while 45 yards from the running back position can be a fantasy difference maker, it's less impactful when it's the entirety of his output. With a more favorable schedule coming up for Baltimore, there will be few, if any, opportunities to sneak Hill into a flex spot.

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Jarquez Hunter has not been a factor in his team's offense through the first two games of the season. After being a healthy scratch in Week 1, Hunter was active for Week 2 but did not record a carry. The 22-year-old appears to be firmly behind Blake Corum in the Rams backfield pecking order after RB1 Kyren Williams. Corum logged five carries for 44 yards and a score on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, which likely only solidified his hold on the RB2 role. Hunter would have some fantasy relevance if either Williams or Corum were to go down with an injury, but for now, he should be off the radar of managers in redraft leagues.
