Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has taken over the backfield over the last four games, including their Divisional game against the Houston Texans. He received more carries and was more efficient in the passing game compared to his counterpart Gus Edwards. Hill has looked explosive and has been able to find the open areas of the field outside of the red zone. The next thing he needs to do to be a surefire start at running back in DFS is find the end zone, which will only happen if he does it before they get down to the red zone. He has a good chance of doing so against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that has shown holes in their run defense compared to their top-notch pass defense. Hill could be a sneaky flex option for DFS managers in this AFC Championship matchup.
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill emerged as the leader in the Baltimore backfield during the Divisional Round, rushing 13 times for 66 yards and making two catches for 11 yards in the team's commanding 34-10 victory over the Texans. His 13 carries matched a season-high, and his 66 rushing yards marked his highest in a game all season, surpassing his previous best of 48 yards. Dealing with injuries to running backs J.K. Dobbins and later Keaton Mitchell throughout the season, Hill seized the opportunity that came his way. Baltimore is set to host the AFC title game next week against either the Chiefs or Bills, both of whom rank below average in DVOA against the run. They are both in the bottom half in points allowed to running backs this year, and the Ravens are likely to continue relying on whoever the hot hand is in their backfield.
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been a boom-or-bust type of fantasy player all year long, but he's seen a lot more busts than booms. His bigger appeal comes in PPR formats since he seems to be the favored back when it comes to passing downs, but he barely cracked the top 60 this season in carries and rushing yards. To make matters worse, the Houston Texans give up the sixth-fewest rushing yards and the lowest yards per carry in the league right now. With Dalvin Cook also in the mix, and Lamar Jackson still taking some carries away from the backfield, Hill's amount of work could be very minimal. In turn, that makes him an extremely risky option.
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is fresh off of his best game this season after playing a huge role in the passing game against the Miami Dolphins. He even posted 16.0 yards per carry even though he only received three carries in that game. In Week 18, however, it's unclear how much action he's going to see since the Ravens have clinched the number-one seed and the bye in the AFC. Gus Edwards seems likely to get plenty of rest, so Hill could see a bit of work while Melvin Gordon III is the next in the line to get some carries if both starters sit out for most of the game. Fantasy managers may want to look elsewhere for a running back since his workload is cloudy at best right now.
Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill had his best game of the season and put up almost 20 half-PPR fantasy points in the 56-19 blowout win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. Hill only saw three carries but gained 48 yards on the ground (16.0 average) while adding a season-high five catches on five targets for a season-high 64 receiving yards and a touchdown. In addition to his work on offense, the 26-year-old had 101 return yards on two kickoffs. Teammate Gus Edwards had 16 rushing attempts for 68 yards and also found the end zone on the ground. It was a nice showing for Hill, but he'll be a volatile fantasy option in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers now that Baltimore has locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC and a first-round bye.
