The veteran running back had a poor Week 1 outing with back-to-back penalties that killed a drive late in the third quarter. On the ground, Hill managed just 18 yards on 6 carries, though he added 10 receiving yards. His inefficiency and penalty issues raise concerns about his role in the Ravens' offense.

Under-the-radar veteran back who has quietly averaged 4.8 yards per carry and 8.3 yards per reception since 2023 and is poised to continue serving as the Ravens' third-down back. At 28 years old, Hill will see opportunities on screens and isolation routes against linebackers in offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's scheme, with potential to be a key cog in the 2026 offense if he remains efficient with touches, protects Jackson in the pocket, and makes plays when called upon.

Flock Fantasy recommends cutting Justice Hill, stating he has no real upside to become an every-week starter in a weekly managed league. Hill has never finished with more than eight fantasy points per game, and even if Derrick Henry gets injured, his role doesn't expand—he remains a pure receiving running back. The source prefers holding Ray Davis, Dylan Samson, and Kayn Black as handcuff options instead.

Hill is cited as an example of a running back who was over-rotated by new Browns head coach Todd Monken during his time in Baltimore, suggesting that Monken's tendency to rotate multiple running backs (Henry and Hill) will likely continue with Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson in Cleveland.

Justice Hill executed a critical pass-protection assignment in the 2024 season opener against Kansas City, blocking Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones on back-to-back plays to give Lamar Jackson a chance to win. Despite being 8 inches shorter and 115 pounds lighter than Jones, Hill kept the elite pass rusher off Jackson, allowing Jackson to nearly throw the game-tying pass at the end of regulation in a 27-20 loss. Hill's performance on the unsung blocking job went viral and earned praise; Hill emphasized the mindset required: 'You're not going to get to my quarterback, and I don't care how big you are, how small you are.'
