FANTASY FOOTBALL DEEP SLEEPERS TO TARGET IN 2019
9. Justice Hill, RB Baltimore Ravens
Okay, so the Ravens have Mark Ingram now, he’s the bell cow and no one else has a shot at fantasy value this year right? Do you guys remember a player named Alvin Kamara? Just a refresher, he was the guy who was able to sneak his way into fantasy value in New Orleans behind Mark Ingram with his speed and elusiveness.
Could this happen again to Mark Ingram in Baltimore? I know, that’s a lot of questions and here come the answers. There are too many similarities in these two situations not to consider the fact that Baltimore could have a great one-two punch just like the Saints had with Ingram and Kamara.
Mark Ingram is a great running back, but at this point in his career isn’t the most elusive. That’s how a guy like Kamara was able to come in and bring his speed and elusiveness to make a great change of pace back behind Ingram.
So here is where Justice Hill fits into the mix. Justice Hill was the fastest running back at the combine this year running a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. Kamara is fast, but his 40 time was just 4.53. So remember how fast Kamara looks on the field and just imagine him a step faster, that is what you’re getting in Hill.
Not only is Hill fast, but he is showing excellent ball carrier vision already in the preseason and the Ravens are likely to run the ball more than any team NFL this season. Kamara potential is written all over this kid and you can get this great potential in round 14 or maybe even later.
