Danny Woodhead was off to a hot start for the Ravens, but pulled up with a non-contact hamstring injury (the same thing that dogged him in the preseason). That opened the door for Javorius Allen to come in and surprisingly lead the backfield in plays (29 to Terrance West's 25). Allen is a nice dual-threat player, capable of running between the tackles and catching passes out of the backfield. He gutted out 71 yards on 21 carries against the Bengals, but failed to haul in his lone target. Baltimore loves to target backs though, and if Woodhead misses significant time as the team fears, Allen could at worst slot into that role, and at best take over the lead duties from West. Either way, he needs to be added before Week 2. FAAB suggestion: 20 percent
