Week 2 at Cincinnati Bengals
Justice Hill had a pair of touchdowns last week against the Texans, but he was held to just nine yards on eight carries and was not a part of the passing game. His role looks to expand with J.K. Dobbins out for the remainder of the season, but he’ll still be splitting snaps with Gus Edwards and sharing rushing production with Lamar Jackson. It’s encouraging to see him get red zone work, however, as both his touchdowns came from two yards out.
This week, Hill faces a tough Bengals defense that was pounded by Nick Chubb a week ago, but ranked fourth in aFPA to opposing running backs in 2022. Add Hill to your roster in case his role expands beyond that of Edwards, but take a cautious approach to him this week. We have him ranked as a low-end RB3 option.
