Justice Hill Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is fully recovered from an Achilles tear that caused him to miss the 2021 season. With Gus Edwards (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform List and J.K. Dobbins not yet at one hundred percent, there is an opportunity in this backfield. The Ravens signed veterans Mike Davis and Kenyan Drake to bolster their depth, however, the 24-year-old has looked explosive and is familiar with the system. It is possible he's been discounted from competing for a secondary role and could see a sizeable workload until Dobbins returns to health. Hill is not a player you'll need to draft but is someone to monitor and be ready to acquire, depending on how the distribution of carries goes in Week 1.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill, a third-year running back trying to secure a job in training camp, has quietly built momentum. He is looking quick and is showing no signs of the Achilles tear that kept him off the field all of last season. Hill has also caught some passes out of the backfield, showcasing his athleticism. It's worth noting with both J.K. Dobbins (knee) and Gus Edwards (knee) trying to return from torn ACLs that kept them out in 2021. Edwards is behind Dobbins and may not be ready for the start of the regular season, which could give Hill an opportunity, especially if Dobbins is limited. Hill isn't a player that you need to be drafting in standard-sized leagues, but he's a name to keep an eye on in this backfield early on.

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.
