Who Should I Start? Justice Hill or Trevor Etienne

Saturday, October 11, 10:39 AM

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has hit one very high output among many lows so far this season. His biggest value continues to be in full PPR formats, and the fact that the Ravens' defense has been so terrible that the offense has to abandon the run early. Hill has only registered one week finishing in the top 30 at the position, and has one more finish inside the top 36. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the toughest defenses against opposing backfields, which diminishes his value even further, even though Cooper Rush will likely have plenty of dump-off throws. Hill is projected as the RB51 and is avoidable in most league sizes this week.

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Trevor Etienne is in line for an increased workload in Week 6. Over the past two weeks, Etienne has totaled 62 scrimmage yards on 12 touches, showing flashes of potential in limited opportunities. With Chuba Hubbard (calf) expected to miss his second straight game, both Rico Dowdle and Etienne should see an uptick in carries once again. Carolina draws a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, who have surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, including big performances from Josh Jacobs and Breece Hall in consecutive weeks. While Dowdle is expected to handle the starting role, Etienne remains off the fantasy radar outside of deep dynasty formats as he continues to earn more snaps.
