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

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 11% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Over the first two weeks of the season, Justin Forsett (24 carries, 78 yards, no touchdowns) and Terrance West (23 carries, 74 yards, no touchdowns) have handled the bulk of the backfield duties for the Ravens. Baltimore ranks 29th in yards per carry, and wide receiver Mike Wallace’s 11-yard scamper in Week 1 is tied for the team’s longest rushing play. The Ravens desperately need a game-changing back, and Kenneth Dixon, whose NFL debut has been delayed due to a knee injury, is the best candidate to fill that role.

Dixon ran for 4,480 yards and 72 touchdowns over his four-year stay at Louisiana Tech. The 2016 fourth-round pick is elusive and shifty with an impressive ability to rack up yards after contact. He is likely to remain sidelined for another couple of weeks, but once healthy, he could immediately jump to the top of Baltimore’s depth chart given the lack of competition. As a result, Dixon is worth a stash in just about all leagues.
