Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Rico Dowdle

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday due to a toe injury that he picked up in the Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. The 27-year-old will need to get back on the practice field on Friday to avoid being ruled out for this weekend's divisional matchup against the hosting Cleveland Browns. Even if Hill can play in Week 11, it's looking more like the Ravens want to make Keaton Mitchell a bigger part of the backfield plans behind starter Derrick Henry, which would mean Hill drops to RB3 duties. Hill has seen exactly one rushing attempt in each of the last three games for a total of five yards while catching three passes for 25 yards in that span. The 27-year-old's fantasy stock is on the decline, while Mitchell's arrow is pointing upward.

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle (quadriceps) was seen warming up at the portion of practice open to the media, so it looks like he will return to practice on Thursday, according to Alex Zietlow of The Charlotte Observer. Just like last week, Dowdle did not practice on Wednesday before returning to the field the following day. The 27-year-old has been managing a quad issue, but it hasn't kept him from playing and serving as Carolina's unquestioned lead back. He will likely be limited on Thursday, but as long as he upgrades to full on Friday (like he did last week), he should be good to go for Sunday's divisional game against the hosting Atlanta Falcons. Dowdle has been the RB10 this year in half-PPR scoring with 788 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 149 carries while also adding 18 catches for 142 yards and a score. He's a must-start in fantasy if he's active in Week 11.
