With running back Gus Edwards (doubtful) likely out for the Baltimore Ravens when they take on the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football, let’s take a look at Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill fantasy football & DFS rankings.
Kenyan Drake, Justice Hill Fantasy Football & DFS Ranking
Per our Stokastic weekly running back rankings, we have Kenyan Drake (No. 3 for MNF) ranked as the better fantasy football play over Justice Hill (No. 7) ranked well behind him. And don’t forget to use our free Start/Sit tool to compare Hill, Drake or anyone else against each other for the rest of the season.
In DFS, we also have Kenyan Drake ranked as the best option for the Ravens against the Saints. Per our DFS tool, Drake ($5,500) projects for 12.23 points, while Hill ($4,800) projects for just 5.58 points.
On the season, Kenyan Drake has 46 rushes for 251 yards and a touchdown, rushing for an impressive 5.0 yards per carry. He was the given the main running back duties in Week 6 and Week 7 with Edwards and JK Dobbins both out for the Ravens. In week 6 against the New York Giants, Drake turned in his best performance of the season, running 10 times for 119 yards and a touchdown.
“It starts with eight [Lamar Jackson] he’s the playmaker of the team,” Drake told NFL Network’s Steve Wyche on NFL NOW. “He’s his own check down so anytime he has the ball in his hands, he’s lined up to make a big play. Obviously, with the players we have and in that room in general, anybody could have a big day. I had mine against the Giants. Justice [Hill] had his, Gus [Edwards] had his. Mike [Davis] is going to have his. Everybody is going to have their day and we are just going to keep taking turns and try to do everything we can to help this team win games.”
Without Gus Edwards, expect Kenyan Drake to be the main compliment for Lamar Jackson in the Ravens running game.
