Is Justice Hill A Good Fantasy Football Pickup For Week 6? Waiver Wire Outlook

The Baltimore Ravens lost J.K. Dobbins to injury back in Week 1, leaving Gus Edwards and Justice Hill as the team's top two running backs.

But then Hill's dealt with injuries of his own. He missed Week 3 with turf toe and played just seven snaps in his first game back, the Ravens' Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Hill saw a little more work this week against the Steelers, though. Is he someone fantasy managers should be adding?

What Did Justice Hill Do In Week 5?

Justice Hill got the scoring going for the Ravens in Week 5 with a 14-yard touchdown run in the first quarter that put the Ravens up 7-0. That would be the only touchdown that Baltimore scored in Sunday's 17-10 loss.

Ultimately, Hill had seven carries for 32 yards and the score. He also caught four passes for 13 yards. After playing just seven snaps in Week 4, Hill played 39 snaps in Week 5, leading the Ravens backfield in snaps. His 56% snap rate was his second-highest of the season, following his 57% rate in Week 2. He also saw significantly more opportunities in the red zone than Edwards, playing 82% of the team's red zone snaps.

Were There Any Worrying Signs With Justice Hill In Week 5?

While Justice Hill outsnapped Gus Edwards and scored the team's only touchdown, it wasn't all great. For one, Edwards still had more carries than Hill, with 12 of them to Hill's seven. Another issue was that Hill lost a fumble in the game. It was his only fumble so far this season, but he did fumble twice last season.

Turning 11 touches into just 45 total yards is another issue. Hill got some opportunities, but he was unable to really do anything with those opportunities.

Should I Pickup Justice Hill Off the Waiver Wire in Fantasy Football?

Justice Hill's workload makes him worth adding in 12-team leagues. Factoring in his receiving workload, he's essentially splitting running back touches with Gus Edwards. You should have a player with this kind of usage on your roster.

That doesn't necessarily mean that Hill's worth playing against the Titans in Week 6, because it'd be nice to see him turn his opportunities into a little more production. But for now, add him off the waiver wire.
