FLEX: J.K. Dobbins $5,300

It’s always scary to go with a running back and quarterback option from the same team since in a normal offense they would take away from each other, but these two showed against the Steelers what they can do when they are both right. J.K. Dobbins had his best game of the season once he finally got an opportunity to take the reigns. With Mark Ingram hurt, Dobbins got 15 carries. It was the first time he had double-digit carries all season, and he rewarded his coaches with a 113-yard performance.

After this week, the Ravens are sure to find a way to use their newly minted weapon. He hasn’t scored a touchdown since he had two in Week 1, but after this week his opportunities will keep rising. He showed he can make plays against great defenses, so now he deserves opportunities against bad ones.

The Ravens take on the Colts, who also have a really good defense. Going QB-RB against a good defense is scary, but the other options even worth considering here are Hines (who only has one good game this season), Le’Veon Bell (who couldn’t do anything against the Jets), and DeeJay Dallas (might be insignificant if Chris Carson and/or Carlos Hyde are ready to go). Everything down here is a major risk. Dobbins is a player with insane talent. He will eventually be the Ravens starting running back. That torch may have been passed last week.

Other Low-Cost Options: Bell $5,500, Dallas $5,100
