10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football week 4

7. Alex Collins

It’s anyone’s pick of the bunch in the Baltimore backfield. It could be Terrance West, it could be Javorius Allen, or it could be the player who has been the most impressive recently in Alex Collins.

West went into the season as the starter, and despite receiving tremendous volume so far (he had a massive 21 carries in Week 1), I believe Collins will be fed the bulk of the carries this week when the Ravens take on AFC North rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In Baltimore’s Week 1 shutout of the Cincinnati Bengals, West and Allen combined for 40 carries – and most of the Ravens’ success will come through very strong running game and making sure they just simply keep the ball out of the hands of Joe Flacco.

Flacco has been arguably the worst starting QB in the NFL this season who is still playing, and the only way this team is going to come up with wins is if they can establish ground game again.

All three backs rotated last week in the loss in London, as Collins saw nine carries West had six and Allen had eight. Collins has clearly played the best of the trio as a runner so far, and with 16 carries and 124 yards and a 7.8 yards per carry average on the season, Baltimore would be wise to use him much more.
