Smileseers 54 Posted October 2, 2016 RB Shenanigans watch. West named starter. Forsett allegedly gonna be inactive? Errr? Coaches decision to make Forsett inactive today. I'm rolling with West in one league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CookieG 4 Posted October 3, 2016 Terrence West is the guy in Baltimore until further notice. Cause he flashed against the Raiders? I like Dixon to start out as the change of pace guy.. and to grown into an indispensable piece later in the season. I'm holding.. but I have to hold on anything with upside in a 14 team league. The real issue is that that Ravens line seems all banged up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted October 3, 2016 Terrence West is the guy in Baltimore until further notice. Huh. West has yet to be 'the guy until further notice' at any point in his career. Odds are it isn't now. Maybe he's going through is own Awakening. But I'm going to hold off judging until we see West and Dixon in a game. I have Dixon, hoping it's him. But he cost me nothing to get, and I'm not starting him next week either. But West has a short but significant history of letting me and everyone else down.

brotherbock 349 Posted October 3, 2016 Two FYIs of interest here, per Roto: Coach John Harbaugh indicated the Ravens will continue to ride the hot hand at running back. Harbaugh didn't commit to Terrance West as the Ravens' starter, but he certainly has the hot hand with 158 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries (5.10 YPC) over the last two games. "If you're playing hard, smart, fundamentally sound, and productive, you'll be out there again," were Harbaugh's words on Monday. Kenneth Dixon (knee) is due back this week, but his role is uncertain. Justin Forsett was eliminated from the backfield rotation in Week 4. So, bad for Dixon. Ravens coach John Harbaugh was noncommittal on Justin Forsett's roster spot Monday after he was a healthy scratch in Week 4. With Kenneth Dixon coming back to work with Terrance West and Buck Allen, Forsett is occupying a roster spot the Ravens could use on a special teamer or someone with more upside. "It's a competitive world that we're in," said Harbaugh. "It's a competitive league and a competitive sport. He knows that, as well as anybody. We just have to see. All of those personnel things are all to be determined. You can't say anything about where anything is going to go. You just don't know. We'll see how it plays out." So...maybe not so bad for Dixon. Definitely murky water for at least this week. But I'm holding and hoping (my high school friday night plan). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojangles56 13 Posted October 3, 2016 So does one drop Dwayne Washington, Detroit rb for Dixon? I can also snag Terrence west...would these be good use of roster space? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted October 3, 2016 So does one drop Dwayne Washington, Detroit rb for Dixon? I can also snag Terrence west...would these be good use of roster space? DWash would be below Dixon and West. He's hurt, and in a committee. Dixon and West are at least healthy. They're in a committee, but really just a committee of two, it seems. Forsette is on his way out the door, and they don't seem to like Allen either. Which one to drop DWash for? That's the tough question. But the Ravens suddenly seem committed to working one back...maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobSanders_33 127 Posted October 3, 2016 I don't see the comments from the coach is being a worry to Dixon. He didn't name West the ongoing starter. He also made a comment about playing smart football. The knock on West going back is that he makes poor choices and plays wild at times. Of course this can change (see CMIKE) but it also points to an issue that West has shown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted October 5, 2016 Per Roto: The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec expects Terrance West and Kenneth Dixon to be the Ravens' Nos. 1 and 2 running backs Week 5 against the Redskins. Dixon is fully expected to make his season debut after missing Weeks 1-4 with a sprained MCL. West will get another week as the bell cow after piling up 113 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries against the Raiders last Sunday. Treat West as an RB2 for the time being, while Dixon is a high-upside, must-own stash. Buck Allen might head back to the inactives list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted October 5, 2016 Also per Roto: Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon (knee) is practicing in full for Week 5. He'll make his debut Sunday against the Redskins. The Ravens are planning to ease Dixon into action, so we wouldn't expect him to play a big role in Week 5. Terrance West will be a great fantasy play this week against Washington's bottom-three run defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted October 5, 2016 One more: Ravens coach John Harbaugh declined to say if Terrance West will be the featured back Sunday. "I expect to get all the guys as many carries as we can," Harbaugh said. "How it shakes out -- who gets what carries -- is kind of unpredictable." West is expected to start after rushing for 113 yards and a touchdown last week, but it's clear the Ravens want to get Kenneth Dixon involved. Baltimore's lack of commitment to West makes him a high-risk RB2 for Week 5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brotherbock 349 Posted October 6, 2016 It's Dixon or bust, IMO Lawd, I hope so. I have Dixon coming off our IR and just picked up DWash-Oakland.

TennisMenace 156 Posted October 6, 2016 Hey guys, Who do you think is more valuable to own- Dixon or Deandre Washington? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 6, 2016 Is anyone actually starting him this week?! I'm so desperate this week I'm debating between him and Jalen Richard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookieG 4 Posted October 6, 2016 I like his possible upside but not sure with that offense. I'm trying to package him with Jarvis Landry in a bid for ODB Jr. and Bilal Powell. I might regret it.. but I think his time might be a bit into the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobSanders_33 127 Posted October 6, 2016 Is anyone actually starting him this week?! I'm so desperate this week I'm debating between him and Jalen Richard. If those are the choices I'd rather go with Jalen. I like Dixon long term but the floor is sooo low this week. Wouldn't want to risk getting Jamal'ed.

Bojangles56 13 Posted October 8, 2016 Hey guys, Who do you think is more valuable to own- Dixon or Deandre Washington? If I had to choose right now, IDE gamble on deandre as someone needs to take the lead rb position in Oakland. However, after Sunday, we will see where Dixon stands...

Ray_T 597 Posted October 8, 2016 I think West is the guy this week. I think he earned this with a good performance last week. Dixon is back, but I dont know that he is 100%. it would make sense to ramp up his playing time, so having him as a backup this week makes sense anyways. That being said, I think he(west) has a short leash. If he (west) has a poor game this week, Dixon will get a larger chunk of the carries going forward. but for now, I think West is the guy.

brotherbock 349 Posted October 9, 2016 So they've confirmed Dixon as the backup to West today. Is anyone taking the chance of playing him? I've got Duke in my flex, that's the only spot I'm getting a little voice saying to take a chance. High winds for that game, terrible run defense on the redskins. It's a little voice, but it's there. Duke is a backup, Dixon is a backup... Anyone else considering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The wind could cause both offenses to be ineffective. Let him sit on your bench and if he blows up you can still smile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrbdmb 28 Posted October 9, 2016 Sat Dixon for Duke Johnson today ... and sadly it was the right call. I think I have to keep Dixon at least another week or two, but it is starting to looks like West's job to lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
