Kenneth Dixon (RB, BAL) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Once again we have encountered a sudden change in direction regarding which Raven backs will be involved in touch distribution. First, Alex Collins owners endured weeks of frustration while watching Javorius Allen siphon opportunities. Then, Gus Edwards emerged from a region far beyond the fantasy radar to requisition the team’s RB1 responsibilities in Week 11.

Now, Kenneth Dixon has resurfaced in the aftermath of Collins being jettisoned to IR. The oft-injured third-year back has performed effectively, by accruing 43 total yards on nine touches in Week 13, then assembling 80 total yards and a touchdown in Week 14. There is sufficient rationale for believing that Dixon will garner an acceptable workload while sharing touches with Edwards this week against the Buccaneers.

Edwards has only received one target throughout the season, while Ty Montgomery only collected three touches in Week 14. Dixon should collect nearly all targets that are designated for the team's running backs while providing a flex option that could help you advance beyond your critical Week 15 matchup.
