All Baltimore Beatdown insights about Justice Hill

Justice Hill played 31 snaps in a near-evens split with Derrick Henry (34 snaps), indicating continued committee backfield usage despite Henry's lead-back designation.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Justice Hill had six touches for 33 scrimmage yards in a game where the Ravens' running back room struggled overall against a weak Bengals run defense.NegativeUsageOct 26, 2026
Justice Hill was featured in two-RB 'pony' packages alongside Derrick Henry, where Doyle found early success. However, the Bengals adjusted and were ready when the Ravens returned to this package for a third time, suggesting the element of deception wore off and the play-calling became predictable.PositiveRoleOct 26, 2026
Justice Hill is explicitly mentioned as a candidate to assume short-yardage and goal-line carries for Baltimore, as the Ravens seek an alternative to Derrick Henry's ineffectiveness in these situations; this represents a potential role expansion opportunity.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Played 24 snaps but did not receive a carry in this game and caught three passes for minimal gain; limited offensive role despite snap opportunity.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
Explosive in his role as the third-down back, throwing blocks, catching balls, and mixing in the occasional 20-yard carry. Averaging 7.4 yards per carry this season, albeit on a limited sample size, showing efficiency in his specialized role.NegativeUsageOct 19, 2026
Justice Hill was not given any rushing attempts and only gained nine yards on three receptions out of the backfield in Week 6 against the Browns, indicating minimal offensive involvement.PositiveRoleOct 18, 2026
Justice Hill plays a huge part in pass protection for the Ravens, which is critical against the Browns' decent defensive unit. He made big plays against Atlanta last week, with some of his best highlights coming on blocks where he knocked opponents' chinstraps loose. He will be key to helping buy time for Tyler Huntley to operate.PositiveRoleOct 14, 2026
Justice Hill made his impact felt in multiple phases of Baltimore's victory over Atlanta, reminding everyone why the coaching staff continues to trust him in passing situations over Derrick Henry. Hill's value extends well beyond his ability as a runner; his performance in pass protection was particularly impressive, showing good timing and physicality when absorbing contact and redirecting pass rushers from both wing and backfield alignments. He finished with 73 rushing yards on just four carries, adding two receptions for five yards across 35 snaps (24 receiving, 5 pass blocking, 4 rushing). His ability to contribute as a runner, receiver and blocker gives offensive coordinator Declan Doyle flexibility in how he deploys Baltimore's personnel. His reliability in pass protection will become increasingly important as the season progresses, particularly against defenses that utilize more complex pressure packages.PositiveUsageOct 13, 2026
Hill started poorly with a drop on the opening drive but followed with a 21-yard run on the next play to convert on third down. He broke off another long run later with a 47-yard gain on another third down, finishing with 73 rushing yards on just four carries.NegativeUsageOct 12, 2026
Hill played 35 snaps with six touches for a season-high 78 scrimmage yards. He saw increased usage late in the game during hurry-up offense situations, suggesting a complementary role with upside in specific game scripts.PositiveUsageOct 12, 2026
Hill exploded for 73 rushing yards on just four carries (18.25 yards per carry), including a huge 47-yard run where he was lined up in the fullback spot. His breakaway run was sprung by the Ravens' offensive line getting push in the run game, showcasing his explosive potential in limited touches.NegativeUsageOct 10, 2026
Hill is expected to receive designed touches in the Ravens' simplified passing game in Week 5, including screens as part of the game plan to keep completions easy and avoid turnovers with Huntley starting.NegativeUsageOct 5, 2026
Hill played 24 snaps as the secondary running back, well behind Derrick Henry's 40-snap workload.NegativeUsageOct 5, 2026
Justice Hill had two catches for 22 yards out of the backfield as a dump-off screen option, contributing to the Ravens' ability to convert some short yardage rushes with better efficiency than the previous week.PositiveRoleOct 3, 2026
Hill is identified as an X-factor for his pass protection role; with Tennessee's defensive line duo of Simmons and Franklin-Myers applying pressure and new starters at center and right guard, Hill could play a major role in pass protection to give Lamar Jackson the extra split-second he needs to make plays.PositiveRoleSep 28, 2026
Hill provided a change of pace from Henry against Dallas, rushing for 33 yards on five carries. His burst was apparent on several carries, most notably on his longest run of 11 yards, where he would have scored if he were able to keep his balance and stay in bounds after turning the edge, showing explosive potential in a complementary role.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026
Played 21 snaps compared to Derrick Henry's 43, but had his most effective game of the year with 33 yards on five carries (6.6 yards per carry).NegativeRoleSep 28, 2026

Justice Hill played 27 snaps in Week 2, nearly matching Derrick Henry's snap count and receiving elevated opportunity in the Ravens' backfield rotation.NegativeUsageSep 21, 2026
Justice Hill turned four touches into 18 total yards, serving as a secondary option behind Derrick Henry in the Ravens' backfield.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Hill played 31 snaps and received seven touches total in Week 1, establishing a secondary role behind Derrick Henry in the Ravens backfield.NegativeProjectionSep 14, 2026
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.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Justice Hill had 28 scrimmage yards on seven touches behind Derrick Henry in Week 1, picking up a nice first-down gain through the air.PositiveSleeperSep 7, 2026
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.NegativeUsageAug 27, 2026
RB/pass-catcher had wheel route overthrown by Lamar Jackson on first play of 7-on-7 work but scored touchdown on flat pass in 11-on-11 red zone work, showing involvement in passing game and red zone role.PositiveRoleAug 19, 2026
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.'NegativeRoleAug 7, 2026
Remains a solid backup and third down running back but could be pushed by either Rasheen Ali or Adam Randall for playing time in 2026.
