BALLER MOVE: Target ~54
CURRENT ADP: ~67
ANALYSIS: Obviously, health is a big concern for the pass-catching back Woodhead. He ended his season early last year and is dealing with hamstring issues this preseason. Currently he and the Ravens hope he'll be available for Week 1, but there is a chance he starts out the year on the sidelines.
Either way, Woodhead is a steal at this point of PPR or half-PPR drafts. We've heard some rumblings that the coaching staff isn't all that confident with Buck Allen as a three-down runner or even a solid two-down runner. So, if Woodhead can get right and stay right, he could be the third down back, change-of-pace back, and then some. How does 12-15 carries and 5-8 catches sound?
OK, so that's really optimistic, but just think how many looks this versatile player could get in an offense that threw the ball a league-leading 679 times last year. Yeah, I'm drooling too.
Take Woodhead here while everyone else is hemming and hawing, and thank me later.
