Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Sean Tucker

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.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday that "it's hard to say" if running back Sean Tucker will see more playing time even when Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) comes back, according to the Pewter Report. The Bucs may go with a hot-hand approach to their backfield when Irving gets cleared to return for the first time since getting hurt in Week 4. Since he's been sidelined, Rachaad White has seen most of the backfield work. White played 60% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills compared to 44% for Tucker, but it was Tucker who went off with a season-high 19 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He also added two catches for 34 yards and another score. The 24-year-old has looked much more explosive than White and deserves attention off the waiver wire this week, regardless of whether Irving is back for Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams.
