Baltimore Ravens DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) didn't practice in Sunday's estimation. The 27-year-old had two carries for 30 yards in Saturday's AFC North encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he suffered a concussion and did not return. While there's a chance Hill could be ready for the Christmas meeting with the Houston Texans, it's unlikely. If that's the case, Rasheen Ali could serve as the No. 2 option out of the backfield, although Derrick Henry should get most of the touches.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) was forced to exit early during Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hill suffered a concussion after landing on his head during that second quarter. He was taken to the locker room and ruled out shortly after that. Afterwards, head coach John Harbaugh didn't sound optimistic about Hill being ready in time for their Christmas Day game on Wednesday. Honestly, it's tough to imagine Hill is going to get cleared from concussion protocol by Wednesday. Fantasy managers who were planning on using Hill should look elsewhere for help. Rasheen Ali would end up being the primary backup if Hill is unable to go. However, there's not many touches available with Derrick Henry being the workhorse back.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman caught only one pass Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but made it count for a 14-yard touchdown. He was targeted three times in the 34-17 victory, but Baltimore heavily leaned on its running game, rushing for 220 yards. The Minnesota product was questionable with a foot injury and played through it, but wasn't involved much as the Ravens completed only 15 passes in the game. Bateman should continue to be a boom-or-bust option as Baltimore takes on the Texans in Week 17.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught four passes for 37 yards in the 27-19 win over the Houston Texans. With the return of Marquise Brown, Hopkins appeared to take a backseat to other Kansas City pass catchers. The veteran receiver finished fourth on the team in targets and receiving yards in this contest. Hopkins provides a sure-handed receiving option, but his fellow wide receivers offer more explosiveness. Hopkins will look to be more involved next week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who rank 13th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. With Hopkins falling in the target pecking order, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to trust him in their lineups for Week 17.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely corralled all three of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-year pro scored his fifth TD of the season -- matching his career-best mark from a year ago. His score was a nine-yard walk-in off a nifty misdirection in the first quarter. With quarterback Lamar Jackson brandishing low passing volume again, Likely was stuck with another low target-total outing. However, his yardage mark, target, and reception total were third most on the offense behind wide receiver Zay Flowers and fellow tight end Mark Andrews. While the 24-year-old is tough to trust for fantasy, he's flashed his upside when called upon in a featured role. Likely and the Ravens will square off against the Houston Texans next Wednesday in a road tilt.
