Justice Hill News
Wednesday, February 25, 11:09 AM
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill had his 2025 season cut short due to a neck injury that sent him to the Injured Reserve after Week 12. Before his injury, Hill was averaging a 37% snap share, but was on the field for 75% of third-down plays, and was the Ravens' change-of-pace back. The 28-year-old running back out of Oklahoma State brought in 21 of his 27 targets for 169 yards and one receiving touchdown, while racking up 93 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Looking ahead to 2026, Hill almost certainly will continue to complement fellow running back Derrick Henry and offer handcuff and PPR value for deep-league dynasty managers.

Rico Dowdle News
Friday, March 27, 11:40 AM
Across 17 games with the Carolina Panthers in 2025, running back Rico Dowdle racked up 1,373 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 275 touches. After recording just 83 rushing yards over Carolina's first four games of the season, Dowdle took advantage of a mid-season injury to fellow Panthers back Chuba Hubbard and emerged as the team's RB1 through the remainder of the year. Dowdle's emergence in Carolina was enough to earn him a two-year, $12.25 million contract from the Pittsburgh Steelers in free agency. In Pittsburgh, Dowdle will likely split touches with incumbent Steelers back Jaylen Warren. Warren's presence limits Dowdle's fantasy upside, particularly as a receiver. However, Dowdle is the more physical of the two backs and could be the team's preferred early-down and red zone rusher. Overall, Dowdle profiles as a fringe starting running back option for fantasy managers in a split backfield in Pittsburgh.
