Is Justice Hill A Threat To Derrick Henry?

What They're Saying

Here's Harbaugh's full quote on Hill: "The evolution of Justice is this guy has become a starting back in the NFL. If you watch him play, he's a high-caliber running back. He's going to give us a little different style than Derrick Henry. I think he's going to play a lot and do it his way."

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Hill was a key contributor in Baltimore's backfield at times last season, particularly in the playoffs. He played 57% of the offensive snaps in the Divisional Round and 67% in the Conference Championship.

That backfield, of course, did not have Derrick Henry.

Henry has never been a true three-down back, ceding passing-down snaps throughout his career. So it's certainly possible that Hill plays more this season than most are expecting.

But Hill is not a good bet to be a real fantasy factor. And we don't expect him to materially impact Henry's production.

Henry figures to remain a gameflow-dependent RB who will be more productive when the Ravens are playing with the lead. Good news for him, then, that Baltimore's over/under win total is set at a strong 10.5.
