Justice Hill 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook: Potential PPR Flex As RB2
6 months agoBaltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill will look to be the lightning to Derrick Henry's thunder this season. While Henry should dominate the early downs (along with Lamar Jackson), Hill should have the passing reps, with Keaton Mitchell likely starting the year out on Baltimore’s PUP list following a torn ACL last season in Week 15. Fifth-round rookie Rasheen Ali likely needs time to prove himself. At first glance, the receiving running back role for the Ravens might not look appealing. Six RBs combined for 56 receptions, 571 yards, and one touchdown in 2023, with Hill contributing half of the receptions, but a consolidated role has value. If Hill can earn the lion’s share of passing snaps, then he’ll have games worthy of PPR flex consideration even if Henry stays healthy. The problem for Hill is that the Ravens should be leading throughout most games (they have an over/under win total of 11.5 for 2024), meaning the game script would favor Henry. Hill remains a viable handcuff, especially in PPR formats, with an RB72 ADP and RB70 RotoBaller rank.
