Who Should I Start? Myles Gaskin or Justice Hill

Monday, November 13, 12:48 PM

The Minnesota Vikings signed running back Myles Gaskin back to their practice squad on Monday after the Los Angeles Rams had signed him away, according to a source. Gaskin has been on an active NFL 53-man roster twice this year -- once with Minnesota and once with the Rams -- but he hasn't gotten on the field at all in 2023. His return to Minnesota coincides with Alexander Mattison suffering a concussion in the Week 10 win over the New Orleans Saints. The Vikings could use the extra RB depth with Mattison's availability now in question for the Week 11 game on Sunday night against the Denver Broncos firmly in question. Ty Chandler could serve as the lead back in Week 11 if Mattison isn't cleared, and the Vikes also have Kene Nwangwu available to take on a bigger role if needed.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is hard to trust in any fantasy format but he's at least scored more than his backfield mate Gus Edwards. Through six weeks, Hill clocks in at RB34 compared to Edwards at RB40. Both of them aren't great options unless managers get desperate. Hill has given more of a return on investment as he's scored three times and has a bigger role in the passing game than Edwards. The matchup against the Lions in Week 7 is a tough one though. Detroit has given up the least amount of fantasy points to opposing running backs and they still have to battle with Lamar Jackson for carries. Hill is better left on the bench but could be started as a flex if any managers need a miracle.
