Ravens RB Justice Hill (concussion) is out for Wednesday's game vs. the Texans. He leads Baltimore RBs with a 48% route rate and 12% target share this season. Hill's absence should mean more passing-down work for RB Derrick Henry. You were starting him in season-long leagues anyway, but this gives him a little more value in DFS contests.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry had a great game against the Steelers rushing 24 times for 162 yards, but did not find the end zone for the third game in a row. With RB Justice Hill being knocked out of the game with a concussion, Henry even stayed in pass catching situations, catching both of his targets for 27 yards.
Ravens RB Justice Hill was knocked out of Saturday night's game vs. the Steelers with a concussion. It's his first documented head injury, but Hill is a long shot to be cleared in time for Wednesday's game against the Texans. His absence will likely mean more snaps for RBs Rasheen Ali and/or Keaton Mitchell. RB Derrick Henry could also pick up some more passing-down work.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry disappointed fantasy managers only carryign the ball 14 times in the Ravens win over the Giants. He totaled only 67 yards and did not find the end zone despite the team scoring five TDs.
Ravens RB Justice Hill (concussion) is not listed on the final injury report. He's cleared protocol and will be ready for his usual change-of-pace role behind RB Derrick Henry in Monday night's game vs. the Chargers.
Ravens RB Justice Hill (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice. It's the first we've heard of him being in the protocol, but getting in a limited practice on Thursday puts him on track to be cleared in time for Monday night's game vs. the Chargers. We'll keep you updated on Hill's progress.
Ravens RB Justice Hill pulled a team-high 7 targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He caught four of them for 28 yards.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell is expected to play vs. the Bengals tonight, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. It'll be Mitchell's first game since last December's season-ending knee injury. Mitchell will bring even more big-play ability to Baltimore's offense, but we're expecting him to at least start off as the No. 3 RB behind Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. Mitchell should not be in Week 10 fantasy lineups.
Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell will be activated from the PUP list and return to practice this week, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. Mitchell has been working back from last December's multi-ligament knee injury. He's still likely at least a couple of weeks away from game action. Mitchell was a big-play machine last year, averaging 8.4 yards per carry and 10.3 yards per catch. But he'll be returning to a backfield that has both Derrick Henry and Justice Hill playing very well. Mitchell would need an injury to at least one of those guys to have a shot at fantasy relevance. He can be left on your waiver wire for now.
Ravens RB Derrick Henry carried five times for 17 yards and the season's first TD in Thursday night's loss to the Chiefs. But Kansas City's defense -- and game script -- limited him to just 29 scoreless yards on eight carries the rest of the way. Baltimore trailed for close to three-quarters of this game, and Henry was regularly pulled in passing situations for RB Justice Hill. Henry failed to catch either of his two targets.
The Ravens are keeping RB Keaton Mitchell on the physically unable to perform list to begin the regular season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. This merely confirms the expectation, as Mitchell continues to work back from a December ACL tear.
Ravens HC John Harbaugh talked up RB Justice Hill on Thursday. Harbaugh called Hill a "high-caliber RB" who's "gonna play a lot."
The Ravens have placed RB Keaton Mitchell on the physically unable to perform list for the start of training camp. It's no surprise, given that Mitchell is working back from a late December ACL tear. HC John Harbaugh said back in May that the team doesn't expect Mitchell back until "sometime during the season."
Ravens HC John Harbaugh told reporters Wednesday that RB Keaton Mitchell is not expected back until "sometime during the season," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Harbaugh did add that Mitchell's "on schedule" in his recovery from a mid-December ACL tear but won't participate in training camp.
Ravens RB Dalvin Cook has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster. RB Melvin Gordon was released in a corresponding move. Cook is expected to play in Saturday's Divisional Round game vs. the Texans, according to his agency. Cook was abysmal with the Jets this season and joined the Ravens just a couple of weeks ago, so we're not optimistic about his odds of making a major impact this weekend. But his presence certainly doesn't help the fantasy outlooks of RBs Gus Edwards and Justice Hill.
Ex-Jets RB Dalvin Cook is expected to sign with the Ravens ahead of the playoffs, according to multiple reports. That's a sensible addition for a Baltimore backfield down to Gus Edwards and Justice Hill as meaningful contributors. We'll see how Cook fits in. But unless Ravens coaches say so, there's no reason to expect Cook to leap ahead of either Edwards or Hill in role. Cook averaged just 4.5 carries and 1.0 receptions per game across 15 appearances this year with a Jets offense that hasn't been good. His 3.2 yards per rush and 5.2 yards per catch both sit well below his career marks in those categories. If you're playing playoff fantasy football, you can stash Cook late. We like the Ravens' chances of making a deep run. Just don't expect big things from Cook.
Monday night’s game vs. the 49ers gave fantasy managers a chance to see how the Ravens would split their RB workload after rookie Keaton Mitchell sustained a season-ending ACL injury in Week 15. Baltimore ended up favoring Justice Hill, who saw a team-high 13 touches and logged his second-highest snap share (62%) of the season. Teammate Gus Edwards was also involved (70 total yards, 1 rushing TD) and saw all three of the Ravens’ RB touches from inside the five-yard line on Monday night, per PFF. Managers looking ahead to Week 17 can feel good about starting both Hill and Edwards as RB3/flex options, though it’d be better to lean toward Edwards if you’re picking between them. They’ll be set to face a Dolphins defense that ranks as the sixth-toughest matchup per our adjusted fantasy points allowed, though Miami is tied for seventh-most red zone rushing TDs allowed (14) this season. Banking on Edwards, the goal-line option, is the more optimal play.
The Ravens elevated RB Melvin Gordon from the practice squad. He'll slide in as Baltimore's No. 3 RB behind Gus Edwards and Justice Hill following Keaton Mitchell's season-ending knee injury. Gordon carried 13 times for 53 yards across a pair of appearances back in Weeks 3 and 4, when Hill and Mitchell were hurt. Gordon can be left on fantasy waiver wires.
