Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon (knee), who missed the team's third preseason game, is "trending down" as the regular season approaches. Dixon came into camp with plenty to prove in order to win a roster spot. The 25-year-old missed the entire 2017 season and has played in 18 total games in two seasons, rushing 148 times for 715 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and four touchdowns. Even if he does make final cuts, Dixon is looking like the fourth back, at best, behind Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and rookie Justice Hill. You can ignore him in most fantasy formats.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon flashed his lateral movement at practice on Thursday. Dixon has been a forgotten man in Baltimore's backfield after the addition of Mark Ingram in free agency and Justice Hill in the draft, but Dixon finished off the year strong in 2018 and remains in the running back rotation. However, Dixon must prove he's fully healthy and is also behind Gus Edwards in the pecking order going into training camp. Injuries ahead of him could put Dixon back in the good graces of fantasy owners, but you can ignore him for now if you're drafting for the 2019 fantasy season.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixonsat out of organized team activities for an undisclosed reason. Dixon played in just six games last year due to injury and had 60 carries for 333 yards (5.6 average) and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old missed all of the 2017 season and has played in 18 games since being a fourth-round pick in 2016. Dixon has 148 attempts for 715 yards and four touchdowns in that time.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon's roster spot may be in jeopardy after the team drafted Justice Hill in the fourth round of the draft last month. Dixon missed all of 2017 due to injury and played in just six games for the Ravens last year, so he'll surely need to show better health in order to stick around. He has 148 carries for 715 yards (4.8 average) with four touchdowns in his two NFL seasons. Even if he sticks on the roster, Dixon won't have much of a role behind Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and Hill.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon, like rookie Gus Edwards, came on strong to close the season. But Dixon is a little different case due as injuries throughout his young career have plagued him. The 24-year-old finished the season by totaling 66 yards from scrimmage in the AFC Wildcard Game loss to the Chargers, although he managed just 13 yards on the ground on six attempts while also losing a fumble. Still, the Louisiana Tech product had a solid season producing 346 rushing yards and two scores on 66 carries (5.24 ypc) to go along with nine receptions for 104 yards in seven total games. His best game came in a must-win Week 17 clash with the Browns where he rolled to the tune of 117 yards on 12 carries. Dixon is projected to share the workload with Edwards next year, and if that is the case, he could have more fantasy upside due to his pass catching ability and work around the goal line.
Kenneth Dixon Explodes For 117 Yards On The Ground
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon produced a career-high 117 yards on 12 carries while adding two more yards on one reception in Sunday's victory over the Browns. It was the third-year back's first career 100-yard rushing game while the 12 attempts were his second most this year. He had four carries that garnered 10 or more yards, including a career-long of 37. Dixon and rookie Gus Edwards may once again split carries, as they did against Cleveland, in Sunday's Wild Card game against the Chargers. Dixon totaled 48 scrimmage yards on 10 touches with 28 yards coming on eight carries in a Week 16 win over the Chargers. The Chargers have allowed the fourth most receptions to running backs this year. So, Dixon may be a better play than Edwards in fantasy next week.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon rushed for 28 yards on eight attempts and hauled in two passes for an additional 20 yards in Saturday's 22-10 victory over the Chargers. He also lost his first fumble of the campaign. The 24-year-old has tallied at least nine touches and 40 scrimmage yards in each of his last four games. With his current workload, Dixon still has some value in deep fantasy leagues in Week 17 against the Browns.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon garnered 48 yards on 11 carries to go along with one reception for two yards in Sunday's (20-12) victory over the Buccaneers. It marks another solid performance for the 24-year-old backup, who has accumulated 107 yards on 19 attempts over the last two games. His workload was the most since the first game of the season, although he has now earned at least eight carries in each of his three appearances since being activated from injured reserve while also hauling in a pass in three straight games. Dixon, whose 17-yard scamper on Sunday was a season-high, could continue to see an increase in his workload against a Chargers' squad that has allowed the 10th most PPR fantasy points in the league as opposing running backs have accumulated the fourth most receptions (89) and second most receiving yards (847) against them.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon ran for a season-high 59 yards and a touchdown on eight attempts in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The third-year pro also caught one pass for 21 yards. While Gus Edwards is still the Ravens' featured back, Dixon continues to show why the Ravens to give him an opportunity. His rushing yards and yards per attempt (7.4) were career highs as he totaled four runs of five or more yards with two of the carries going for 10 or more yards, including one for a long of 15 yards tying a season-best. Dixon should be in play as a flex option in a favorable Week 15 matchup against Tampa Bay.
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenneth Dixon rushed for 37 yards on eight attempts and added one reception for six yards in Sunday's victory over the Falcons. The 24-year-old ran well as he tallied the longest run of the day, among the three Ravens' running backs that attempted a carry, which was 13 yards. His 4.6 yards per carry was also the highest yards per carry on the team, which includes quarterback Lamar Jackson who totaled 4.4 yards per attempt. The game was the third-year pro's first action since being placed on injured reserve following Week 2. Dixon appears to the Ravens' choice to be Gus Edwards main understudy going forward. Thus he could have some value as a flex option or RB3 depending on his workload and matchup.
