ANALYSIS: Justice Hill was out in Week 3, but in Week 2, the first game the team played without injured starter J.K. Dobbins, Hill played 43 of the team's 75 snaps. Week 3 starter Gus Edwards played 32. Hill also ran 23 routes to Edward's 11 and earned three targets to Edwards' zero. Hill also out-carried Edwards, 11-10.

While Edwards ended up outscoring Hill because he found the end zone, based on snap counts, routes run, targets earned, and carries given, Hill was the clear 1A to Edwards' 1B. Who knows how this backfield will look moving forward once Hill is healthy and back in the fold, but it's worth a waiver wire addition to find out.

However, we may not truly find out what that looks like in Week 4 because Edwards left their Week 3 contest with a concussion. If he's unable to play in Week 4, that would seemingly put Hill back in the driver's seat.

In this scenario, he'd split work with Melvin Gordon III and Kenyan Drake. Based on Hill's utilization in Week 2 when Edwards was healthy, fantasy managers should expect 12-14 touches in Week 4 if Edwards is out. That puts Hill on the flex radar with RB2 potential.

The most likely outcome is that this turns into an ugly timeshare where Hill is the primary pass-catcher and Edwards is the primary rusher with goal-line responsibilities. This will make Edwards the preferred fantasy option since quarterback Lamar Jackson doesn't target his running backs very frequently, but Hill still deserves a spot on fantasy benches. He'll likely see 6-8 carries per game with 1-3 targets. He's a bench player who could help out during bye weeks and for potential injuries.
