The Baltimore Ravens will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wild Card Weekend. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Justice Hill.
Is Justice Hill Playing vs. the Steelers?
Hill (concussion/illness) practiced fully Wednesday.
After being deemed a limited practice participant Tuesday, Hill — who has missed two straight games — upgraded to full participation a day later, which has the running back trending in the right direction ahead of Saturday’s game against the Steelers.
We’ll continue to monitor the Ravens’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Justice Hill on Wild Card Weekend?
Hill has missed consecutive games, first with a concussion and now with an illness being mentioned in the most recent injury report.
His availability is important to the Ravens, but fantasy managers need not worry. The appeal of Hill’s skill set comes in a negative game script, something that rarely happens these days for Baltimore and is even less so when facing Pittsburgh – the last time they lost a game against the divisional rival by more than one possession was October of 2017.
If you think the road team controls this game, there’s low-end PPR value to chase should Hill be cleared to play (eight targets on 25 routes against the Steelers this season), but that’s an awfully risky way to structure a DFS roster.
