Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Kyle Monangai

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.

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai has been able to remain on the fantasy radar by putting together a two-game touchdown streak. His volume has been reduced since D'Andre Swift returned to action, as the rookie has 19 carries for just 2.7 yards per carry over his last two games, plus a 14-yard reception. However, he has posted at least 8.8 fantasy points in each of those contests by finding the end zone. While Monangai is certainly not guaranteed to score a touchdown every week, he does have goal-line upside, perhaps filling a David Montgomery-esque role in Chicago's Ben Johnson-led offense. Even as Swift leads the backfield in snaps and touches as a fantasy RB2, Monangai has shown that he can be a weekly RB3/flex. The rookie is worth starting in leagues with at least 12 teams ahead of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
