Justice Hill Rest-of-Season Outlook
Efficient depth RB for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished RB60 last season at 6.5 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's RB59 at 3.6 PPR points per game, against 6.5 over 10 games last season (RB60). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 78th of 95 in rushing volume (1.8 carries per game), 27th of 95 in receiving role (2.7 targets per game) and 2nd of 95 in efficiency (3.89 yards after contact per carry). His points come from his efficiency. Rushing volume is the soft spot. Lamar Jackson is his quarterback.
He's RB2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Hill's profile reads as a satellite back, not a workhorse. Across 10 games in 2025 he logged just 18 carries against 27 targets, hauling in 21 catches for 169 yards and a 6.6% target share, while his snap rate slid to 37.1%. The efficiency stayed real — 5.17 yards per carry, 3.89 yards after contact per attempt, and a 71-yard burst that flashed the breakaway speed Baltimore values — but a minus-0.019 EPA per play and only 44.2 fantasy points underline how thin the volume runs.
The 2024 tape is the tell: 51 targets, 42 grabs, three receiving scores and a plus-0.151 EPA per play when he actually got fed. With the primary backup role to Derrick Henry now his alone, Hill stays a deep-league passing-down piece on standalone value. The genuine appeal is contingency — if Henry misses time, this skill set converts into instant RB2 production overnight.
