Justice Hill Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (Achilles) recently tore his Achilles at practice and will miss the entire season, according to a source. It's the reason why the Ravens have been working out free-agent running backs of late, including Le'Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman and Elijah Holyfield. Hill was expected to see a much larger backfield role after J.K. Dobbins suffered a season-ending knee injury in the preseason finale. Gus Edwards is the team's primary back, and Ty'Son Williams is the only other running back on the active roster. Expect that to change soon enough. You can obviously remove Hill from single-season draft boards, while Edwards' value becomes even more stable as an RB2/3. If Bell or Freeman were to sign with Baltimore, they might be worth a look for RB depth in deeper leagues.

Baltimore Ravens running back Ty'Son Williams "leapfrogged" Justice Hill on the team's depth chart, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN. J.K. Dobbins suffered a torn ACL in Saturday's preseason game against the Washington Football Team and is out for the season. Gus Edwards is the Ravens RB1, with Williams backing him up in 2021. "Edwards' backup is Ty'Son Williams, a second-year player out of BYU who leapfrogged Justice Hill on the depth chart," said Hensley. "Williams impressed the Ravens with his physicality." Fantasy managers should be targeting Williams and not Hill as Edward's backup in upcoming drafts. The Ravens haven't ruled out signing a free agent, and veteran RB Todd Gurley is a possibility. Stay tuned.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is in danger of losing his spot on the team's depth chart. Listed behind J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, the third-year man had a poor showing during the preseason matchup against New Orleans, finishing with eight yards off five attempts for an average of 1.8 YPC. With Ty'Son Williams and Nate McCrary both having promising performances, Hill will likely need to turn things around heading into Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders to secure his place moving forward.
