Winner: RB Justice Hill

Started the game, and played on a single drive, but didn't log a single action on the stat sheet so he became a phantom performer. That, however, is the best news for Hill. This type of performance and usage sealed his presence in the 53-man roster to be named on Tuesday.

Hill already played as the RB1 in the preseason opener beating Gus Edwards (the prospective RB2 of the team when everybody was available) to that role, and then Edwards wasn't active in Week 2 while Hill was.

It's not that Hill was playing for his life this summer as his role and position in the backfield were never in danger, but he did enough to guarantee the RB3 role this season and he could grow into a more prominent role in the near future depending on the health of other rushers and their contracts with Baltimore (looking at you, J.K. Dobbins).
