Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stream in 10-Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 33% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: If there were ever a game where Baltimore might need their versatile pass-catching back early and often, it would be Week 14 against the powerful Patriots. Last week Dixon rushed the ball 13 times for a middling 49 yards, but did tack on 31 receiving yards on four catches. He’s limited by the presence of Terrance West as the primary goal-line back still, but those in PPR leagues should view him as a solid RB3 there. After that, a home date against Philadelphia looms where he would have some tougher sledding, especially if the Ravens defense eats Carson Wentz alive.

*Monday night edit: Dixon stole the show against New England with 11 rushes and eight catches to West's two totes and four catches, as he out-gained West 81 to 26 in the total-yardage department. Dixon also scored a receiving TD, and surely has to be viewed as the "1A" in this committee going into next week. Do keep the respective gamescript in mind here, as Baltimore needed their more agile back as they tried to catch up to New England, but still looked promising despite a few hiccups (drops, blitz pick-up).
