BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill led the backfield in snaps (43) and snap percentage (54%) in Week 1. That led to a solid fantasy day for the 26-year-old, finishing as the RB24 in PPR formats with 11.6 fantasy points.
That might have surprised most fantasy managers, but given how the game went for the Ravens, they needed to rely on the pass. As a result, Hill caught six passes for 52 yards through the air.
Now, that won't happen every week for Hill. Baltimore is a team that wants to establish the run and prioritize running the football with Derrick Henry. So, the 26-year-old running back might only be a start in a game that the Ravens will need to throw a lot. That likely won't be the case in Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

With Baltimore entering the contest as nine-point favorites, it could be a game where Henry sees most of the snaps out of the backfield. That makes Hill only a start in deeper formats this weekend.
