BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Allow me to start this post with a little breakdown of how Baltimore used its backfield last Sunday, courtesy of Mike Florio.
Drake had averaged 21 yards per game from Weeks 1-5 and had been relegated to 27 snaps, four carries, and 26 yards from Weeks 3-5 - including two games in which he was a healthy inactive. However, he catapulted back into relevance during a Week 6 performance that was unanticipated based on his recent usage and output.
Drake stockpiled 119 rushing yards on 10 attempts, which was the first time that he had eclipsed 100+ since Week 10 of the 2020 regular season. He also led the Ravens in both categories, as J.K. Dobbins was limited to just seven carries and 15 yards on the ground.
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh stated that Dobbins' knee had tightened up during the matchup with the Giants which impacted his usage, and Dobbins’ status should be monitored during the week. Gus Edwards could also be resurfacing into the backfield equation at any time.
However, Drake maximized his opportunities in Week 6 and has recaptured his place within the fantasy radar. He should also be included among your waiver priorities this week.
