Hill finished the season with 47 carries for 228 yards and a touchdown while adding 42 catches for 383 yards and three touchdowns on 51 targets.
The veteran was a valuable second option in the Baltimore backfield behind Derrick Henry this season with four combined touchdowns and new career highs across the board as a pass catcher. Hill's 42 receptions ranked 15th among running backs and his 383 receiving yards ranked 11th at his position as well. He also provided some tough running in Baltimore's playoff loss to Buffalo with 50 yards on six attempts. Hill inked a two-year extension in September 2024 and projects to be back with his $2.4M cap hit in 2025. It will be interesting to see how Hill's role changes, if at all, with Keaton Mitchell back to full speed after missing much of the season recovering from a knee injury that ended his 2023 campaign.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Ready for wild-card round
Rotowire
Hill (concussion) does not carry an injury designation on Thursday's practice report and will be available for Saturday's wild-card round matchup against the Steelers.
Hill, who missed Baltimore's final two regular-season games, has now fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol. He'll be available to contribute out of the backfield behind Derrick Henry during Saturday's game against the Steelers, as well as to field kick returns. Across 15 regular-season appearances, Hill rushed 47 times for 228 yards and one touchdown. He also secured a career-high 48 of 51 targets for 383 yards and another three scores.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Back practicing Tuesday
Rotowire
Hill (illness/concussion) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Head coach John Harbaugh indicated last Thursday that the illness rather than the concussion was the primary cause of the running back's continued absence, and Hill being back on the practice field Tuesday for the first time since Week 16 would seem to reinforce that, although Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic noted that he was sporting a non-contact jersey. As such, Hill may not have fully cleared the concussion protocol yet, but he'll have two more practices this week to show he's ready for Saturday's wild-card game versus Pittsburgh. If he's available this weekend, Hill would likely step in as the top change-of-pace option behind lead back Derrick Henry.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Hill (illness/concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Browns.
Though head coach John Harbaugh expressed optimism earlier in the week that Hill would be available Saturday, the running back wasn't able to practice Tuesday through Thursday after falling ill. He had missed the Ravens' Week 17 win over Houston after entering the NFL's concussion protocol, but Harbaugh said Thursday that Hill has recovered from the head injury, and the illness is what will cause the running back to sit out a second straight game. With Hill sidelined once again, Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali are available to handle the backfield reps that don't go to starter Derrick Henry.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Not practicing Thursday
Rotowire
Hill (concussion/illness) wasn't present for practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
With Hill slated to record a third straight DNP listing, the running back's status for Saturday's game against the Browns is cloudy in advance of the Ravens' final Week 18 injury report. If Hill is unavailable this weekend, Keaton Mitchell likely would see added snaps behind top back Derrick Henry.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Not practicing yet
Rotowire
Hill (concussion/illness) isn't practicing Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Hill hasn't practiced since suffering a concussion Week 16, but at this point, his absence may be due to an illness more so than the head injury, considering Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Hill is trending in the right direction for Saturday's game against Cleveland. The running back has three more days to recover from his illness and clear concussion protocol before Baltimore's regular-season finale.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Week 18 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Hill is expected to play in Week 18 against Cleveland after missing Week 17 at Houston with a concussion. He'll likely resume his role as the change-of-pace running back with Derrick Henry, and if the Ravens are beating the Browns late in the game, we could see Hill get additional touches when Henry goes to the bench. Prior to getting hurt, Hill had scored at least 14.2 PPR points in two of his past three games.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Misses another practice
Rotowire
Hill (concussion/illness) didn't participate in practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Hill is trending toward being available for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Browns, after the running back sat out the team's Week 17 win over the Texans with a concussion. Though Hill is seemingly on the cusp of exiting the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, an unrelated illness has kept him off the field for practice. Hill will likely need to log some practice activity Wednesday and/or Thursday in order for Harbaugh's prediction to come to fruition.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Expected to play Saturday
Rotowire
Hill, who sat out Wednesday's 31-2 win over the Texans with a concussion, missed Monday's practice due to an illness, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
While Hill was sidelined Monday, Hensley relayed that the running back is expected to play Saturday against the Browns, per head coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh's comments imply that Hill has either cleared the NFL's concussion protocol or is on track to do so later in the week.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Missing Christmas Day game
Rotowire
The Ravens have ruled Hill (concussion) out for Wednesday's game against the Texans.
Hill was knocked out of Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers after his head hit the turf violently when he was brought down on a 25-yard run in the second quarter. Unsurprisingly, Hill was unable to clear the five-step concussion protocol on a short week, and he'll miss his first game of the season Wednesday. With Hill sidelined, Rasheen Ali and Keaton Mitchell will be the available depth options in the backfield behind starter Derrick Henry.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Doesn't practice Monday
Rotowire
Hill (concussion) didn't practice Monday.
Hill sustained a concussion Saturday against the the Steelers when his head hit the ground hard as he was tackled at the end of a 25-yard run. With no activity to speak of since then, he seems to be trending toward his first absence of the season Wednesday at Houston. Tuesday's injury report may provide clarity on that front, but rookie fifth-round pick Rasheen Ali and Keaton Mitchell are lined up for complementary reps behind starter Derrick Henry if Hill isn't able to suit up Week 17.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Out due to concusson
Rotowire
Hill has been ruled out during Saturday's contest against the Steelers due to a concussion.
Hill's head hit violently against the ground after he took a tough hit following a 25-yard run in the second quarter. With Keaton Mitchell a healthy inactive, rookie Rasheen Ali is the only other healthy running back behind Derrick Henry.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
Hill could have a big role in the passing game with Rashod Bateman (foot) hurt and Nelson Agholor (concussion) out. Hill comes into Week 16 with nine catches for 76 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in his past two games, and he had four catches for 28 yards on seven targets in Week 11 at Pittsburgh. If the Ravens are chasing points, then Hill's role could expand, and Lamar Jackson may have to rely on Hill more than usual in Week 16 with the injuries at receiver.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Week 16 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
I liked Hill as a sleeper in Week 15 at the Giants, and he delivered with 17.8 PPR points with two carries for 7 yards, five catches for 61 yards, and a touchdown on five targets. He now has 11 targets in his past two games for nine catches, 76 yards, and a touchdown, and he could be involved in the passing game again in Week 16 against Pittsburgh. In Week 11 against the Steelers, Hill had four catches for 28 yards on seven targets, and I like Hill as a PPR flex option in this matchup.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Thriving as receiving threat
Rotowire
Hill took two carries for seven yards while bringing in all five of his targets for 61 receiving yards and a touchdown in Sunday's blowout win over the Giants.
Hill made an additional mark outside of fantasy matchups when he ripped off a 59-yard return on special teams. Baltimore's talented backup recorded his fourth touchdown of the season on quarterback Lamar Jackson's fifth passing touchdown of the game. Hill remains a boom-or-bust option (due to his limited usage) for those in deeper leagues as the Ravens prepare to host the Steelers on Saturday.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
The Ravens are 16-point favorites on the road at the Giants, and this game could easily be a blowout. That could lead to Hill getting some additional carries behind Derrick Henry, and Hill is worth using as a flex option in deeper leagues. The Giants are No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and eight running backs have scored at least eight PPR points against the Giants in their past five games.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Seven touches in loss to Philly
Rotowire
Hill rushed three times for six yards and caught four of six targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.
Hill saw his customary level of usage while working in a change-of-pace role behind Derrick Henry. Hill's volume has been remarkably consistent heading into Baltimore's Week 14 bye. He has totaled between six and eight touches nine times this season while falling short of six three times and exceeding eight just once, when Hill had four carries and six catches against the Bills back in Week 4.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Long TD run in win
Rotowire
Hill rushed four times for 55 yards and a touchdown and secured both targets for seven yards in the Ravens' 30-23 win over the Chargers on Monday night.
Hill's backfield mate Derrick Henry stole the show with 140 rushing yards, but Hill was the only one of the two to record a touchdown when he rattled off a 51-yard scoring scamper just past the midway point of the fourth quarter that extended a 23-16 Ravens lead. Hill's trip to the end zone was his first on the ground since Week 5 of last season, although he does have two receiving scores this season. Despite Monday night's big run, Hill remains a very speculative fantasy option except for deep PPR leagues heading into a Week 13 home clash with the Eagles.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Cleared to suit up in Week 12
Rotowire
Hill (concussion protocol) doesn't have an injury designation heading into Monday's clash against the Chargers, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Hill began the week with a limited practice while in concussion protocol but was able to log a full practice Friday. He was then estimated as a full participant again in Saturday's walkthrough. As such, Hill will be able to suit up against the Chargers, and he'll likely continue to work as Baltimore's top kickoff returner as well as its change-of-pace back behind Derrick Henry.

Ravens' Justice Hill: Logs full practice
Rotowire
Hill (concussion protocol) practiced fully Friday.
Per the Ravens' injury report, Hill still is listed in the NFL's concussion protocol, but the running back's ability to work fully Friday bodes well for his chances of being cleared for Monday night's game against the Chargers. If, however, Hill has any setbacks and is unable to completely progress through the protocol, Keaton Mitchell and Rasheen Ali would be candidates to see added snaps behind top back Derrick Henry in Week 12.
