The onus will fall on OC Greg Roman, running backs coach Matt Weiss and the rest of the offensive coaching staff to get and keep all four backs involved. It will require a delicate balance of getting everybody touches while also riding the hot hand and making sure the right back is on the field at the right time when there is a football game to be won.

“We’ll find ways to make it work, for sure,” Roman said. “To have that kind of backfield is a blessing. We definitely want to get into training camp and work through it and kind of evolve as we go. As far as how we are actually going to deploy them, who we are going to emphasize and how, I think that’s going to happen on the fly every day in training camp, and (we’ll) get a better feel for that. But I love problems like that. I mean that sincerely.”

The story said the team could ride the hot hand week to week, but the piece also mentioned it doesn't mean Ingram will have a reduced roll. We touched on the Ravens RB situation a few weeks ago. Ingram and Edwards are expected to be free agents after this season, so the future very much could be Dobbins and Hill. But for this year, it's going to take some sorting out and it's possible all four backs have fantasy value.

The Ravens drafted J.K. Dobbins in the second round, putting Ohio State's first 2,000-yard rusher in the same backfield as Mark Ingram II, a three-time Pro Bowl player; Gus Edwards, one of two backs in the NFL to gain over 700 yards and average more than five yards per carry in each of the past two seasons; and Justice Hill, a fourth-round pick from a year ago who was the fastest running back at the 2019 combine.

The Ravens say it's a good problem to have and will figure out the touches. But for fantasy owners it's a bit of a problem. The story said expect Dobbins to back up Ingram at least to start the season. Ingram will turn 31 and Edwards is a free agent after this season, so the story also pointed out the future may just be Dobbins and Hill.

According to Jamison Hensley of ESPN, Baltimore Ravens rookie running back J.K. Dobbins is slated to open camp as the third string running back behind Mark Ingram and Gus Edwards.

Despite being drafted as an RB3 redraft leagues, it is no sure thing that J.K. Dobbins even opens the season as Mark Ingram’s top backup. Gus Edwards, while more of an early down runner, has been an effective committee back to this point of his career (his 5.29 yards per carry over the past two seasons leads the NFL). Edwards will open camp as the top backup, and could be an early season impediment to Dobbins seeing consistent touches as a member of the Ravens backfield. The long term upside is tantalizing, but aside from managing to beat out Edwards, Dobbins also needs to siphon touches from Mark Ingram to earn standalone value. Coming from the run-pass-option heavy Ohio State, he is an ideal system fit, but Dobbins would need to become just the second rookie running back in 12 years to rush for more than 600 yards for John Harbaugh. The upside is undeniable, but there is significant opportunity cost and ADP based risk baked into acquiring him in redraft leagues.

RB Mark Ingram suffered what is believed to be a calf strain.

He'll have more tests today to determine the severity, Rapoport said. Rapoport added he left the stadium in a walking boot but that isn't always a big deal in terms of severity of the injury, and it just helps to relieve the pressure. Rapoport said Ingram won't play this week with nothing to play for, but it's not certain Ingram will be ready even after the bye week to open the playoffs.

Coach John Harbaugh told reporters after the game that there were "no structural issues" with Ingram's calf. Ingram is set to undergo an MRI, and there will be more of an update on his status Monday. The Ravens would have no reason to play Ingram in Week 17, which then also gives him the bye week off to get ready for the playoffs. Look for Edwards and Hill to be involved in Week 17.

Ravens get Mark Ingram at $5M per season, which is significantly less than what Le'Veon Bell got ($13.1M). For a team with many needs and less than $30M in cap space, Baltimore wasn't going to make that type of investment at running back.

Clearly bad news for the other Baltimore running backs (namely Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon), this is a great landing spot for Ingram, who will play for a decidedly run-heavy offensive coordinator in Greg Roman. Ingram is still on the right side of 30 and hasn't averaged less than 4.6 YPC in the last four seasons. He's also a very capable receiver (3.1 receptions per game since 2015) so he's able to play on all three downs. He should flirt with fantasy RB1 value this year.

Former Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins faces narcotics and gun charges after being released on $7,500 bail early Saturday morning.

Collins, 24, was released around 12:30 a.m. Saturday on three chargers after an initial hearing at a Baltimore County courthouse: possession of more than 10 grams of marijuana, intent to distribute marijuana and possession of a handgun in a vehicle.

The Ravens waived Collins on Friday afternoon, hours after he crashed his black Chevrolet Corvette into a tree about a mile from the Ravens' team facility. Officers found Collins asleep in the driver's seat and detected an odor of marijuana inside the vehicle, according to police.

John Harbaugh indicated that Gus Edwards is the team's No. 1 running back heading into the offseason, but he was in a near even timeshare with Kenneth Dixon in the final month of the season. Dixon is a much better receiver, though Edwards is the better pass blocker. The Ravens are going to be extremely run-heavy under OC Greg Roman and whoever is the lead back is likely to be a fantasy starter.
