Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or MarShawn Lloyd

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill received two carries and two targets out of the backfield in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills. Combined, he totaled -11 yards despite seeing a 45% snap share next to Derrick Henry. While he likely won't be in the negatives again, the Cleveland Browns defense is a bit tougher, especially given that they allowed just 46 rushing yards and 113 yards through the air to the Cincinnati Bengals. That doesn't leave a lot of breathing room for Hill unless the Ravens are playing from behind and resort to a predominantly passing game script. In average-sized fantasy leagues, Hill is better left on the bench for this matchup.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday and has been designated to return, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. It means that Lloyd can return after missing the first four games of the 2025 campaign. Head coach Matt LaFleur had already said that the oft-injured second-year RB would miss time to start the year due to a hamstring injury that he suffered in the preseason finale last weekend. The 24-year-old cannot seem to shake his hamstring injuries, as he also dealt with the same issue in his rookie season, among other things, and ended up suiting up in just one game. Green Bay has a bye in Week 5, so the earliest Lloyd can return will be in Week 6 on Oct. 12 versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Fantasy managers can avoid him for now in 12-team leagues, while Emanuel Wilson becomes the primary handcuff option for those that draft Josh Jacobs.
