Fourth-round rookie Kenneth Dixon shined in the preseason, until a torn MCL left him in the training room for the first month of the season. Well, Dixon is set to return soon and the team is excited about his potential. Dixon is purely a stash-worthy waiver target for now, as there's no guarantee he earns a role out of the gate, especially after West's impressive performance. However, his soft hands and shiftiness in space could help fill the current lack of a dynamic pass-catching back in the Ravens' offense. Collectively, West, Forsett and Kyle Juszczyk have amassed just 167 yards on 36 targets (4.64 ypt). FAAB Suggestion: 5-10 percent.

I guess this is a lesson in never counting Steve Smith Sr. out of a fight. We were all rooting for Triple S to return to action and produce for the Ravens, but at 37 years old and coming off a torn Achilles, the deck seemed stacked against him. Well, it appears Smith hasn't lost a step, as he's seen 11 targets in each of the last two games, bringing in 16 of them for 198 yards and a touchdown. Smith has returned to his role as top dog in the Ravens' passing attack and fantasy owners need to pay him due respect -- by adding him this week off waivers. FAAB suggestion: 5-10 percent.
