George Holani or Justice Hill: Who Should You Start?

Justice Hill's third-down role beats Holani's ESPN 2026-08-31 in the Seattle backfield

The point projections sit a tick apart, but the roles behind them don't. Hill is a true passing-down back for Baltimore with real third-down equity, while Holani is buried deep on Seattle's depth chart — ESPN 2026-08-31 flagged Jadarian Price, not Holani, as the back to watch for expanded Seahawks work. A 6% snap share means Holani needs a game to go sideways just to see the field, whereas Hill's 37% share and third-down chops give him a稳定 path to touches even in a close game. Both are marginal flex plays, but Hill's role is simply more real.

What flips it: A Seattle backfield shakeup that pushes Holani ahead of Jadarian Price on early downs.
