Instant Fantasy Analysis - RB Tyler Badie, Ravens

[The Football Guru 212]

Team Fit: While Badie might only check in at 197 pounds, he runs tough and doesn't fumble (none since his sophomore season). Perhaps most importantly, he is a very capable receiver out of the backfield on a team that needed to turn to Devonta Freeman after J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards went down with ACL tears last summer. Working against him is the fact Baltimore is neither a heavy passing team nor a team that looks to throw to its running backs very often. If Badie learns to play with better vision, his 4.45 speed (and receiving ability) gives him a chance for some change-of-pace work with the Ravens. If Dobbins and Edwards can return from their injuries without incident, Badie won't be a noteworthy name for redraft purposes as more of a receiving back on a heavy run team. If not, he could easily find his way into early playing time as a complementary back.
