Emanuel Wilson vs Justice Hill: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Emanuel Wilson and Justice Hill is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.4 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Emanuel Wilson averaged 5.1 PPG with the Seattle Seahawks across 17 games, and Justice Hill posted 5.5 with the Baltimore Ravens in 10.
When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Emanuel Wilson ran for 496 yards and 3 touchdowns; Justice Hill posted 93 and 2. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Emanuel Wilson has his bye in Week 10, and Justice Hill rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
