The Baltimore Ravens' running back situation has undergone significant changes, highlighted by the departure of J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards. Derrick Henry has been signed to take over the starting role. Justice Hill is the only remaining active running back, showcasing his potential particularly in the passing game. Fantasy managers are encouraged to consider Hill for their waiver wire priorities.
In Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Hill gained 8.5 half-point PPR fantasy points with six receptions. Ravens' head coach John Harbaugh affirmed Hill's expected contributions, predicting meaningful playing time given the team's limited receiving options.
Other running back options include Alexander Mattison from the Las Vegas Raiders, who performed well in interactions during their Week 1 match against the Los Angeles Chargers. He stands out in the passing game compared to his teammate Zamir White, indicating solid fantasy potential.
