Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Sean Tucker

Friday, December 19, 3:00 PM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (neck) has been progressing from the neck injury that landed him on Injured Reserve in late November, and could return as early as Week 17, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Hill sustained the injury during practice and has not played in a game since Week 12, but Harbaugh believes a return for the team's Week 17 matchup with the Packers is a real possibility. Used primarily as the team's passing back, Hill's absence has led to more opportunities for Keaton Mitchell and second-year back Rasheen Ali, though neither has seen enough work to enter the fantasy discussion. Derrick Henry, who somewhat quietly has amassed 1,000 rushing yards and double-digit touchdowns for the seventh time in his last eight seasons, remains an every-week start regardless of who is spelling him.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker carries a three-game touchdown streak into Sunday's Week 17 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Tucker has seen his role on offense take a significant drop since Bucky Irving returned from injury in Week 13. Since Irving returned, Tucker has seen four or fewer carries in three of the last four games. The only thing saving his fantasy value is the fact that he has scored a touchdown in three straight games. The Bucs have been using Tucker in goal-line situations, and he keeps finding his way into the end zone. He figures to remain in the role, which means Tucker should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent flex option for Week 17.
