Running Back

Chalk: Christian McCaffery/Aaron Jones

Contrary: Justice Hill

After rookie Keaton Mitchel suffered a season-ending injury against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15, Justice Hill has begun to take on a prominent role in this offense. Hill saw three targets in Week 16 and five in Week 17, and a combined 95 receiving yards in these two games.

Hill also saw ten rushing attempts in Week 16 but only three in Week 17.  Gus Edwards and Lamar Jackson will take most of the rushing attempts, but Hill will see ample opportunities on third downs and has a path to seeing five or more targets through the air if Saturday’s game becomes a high-scoring affair.
