6. Alex Collins

Terrance West suited up for the Baltimore Ravens game against Jacksonville despite being hobbled throughout the week, and Javorius Allen was the player who everyone put in their lineups and was presumed to carry most of the work load and put up some good points on Sunday in London. But it was Alex Collins who looked the best of the three and could see more work moving forward.

This weekend, Collins led the backfield with nine carries, and took them for 82 yards (9.1 per). Last week, he had seven for 42 (6.0 per) and he’s showed a bit of burst, something that West and Allen severely lack.

This offense is not going to be pretty and we can’t say that there’s going to be a league-winning fantasy asset coming out of it, but all the best success will come on the ground and there is huge opportunity for one player to break out and see a large amount of volume. Collins could be that player, so he is well worth a stash and could see even more action as the Ravens host AFC North rivals Pittsburgh next Sunday.
