The Ravens actually have their most depth at running back since John Harbaugh took over as coach in 2008. There are four legitimate runners on this roster with Ray Rice, Bernard Pierce, Lorenzo Taliaferro and Justin Forsett. Pierce should be motivated to show he's more like the back in 2012 than last year. He just needs to stay healthy. Taliaferro is a rookie fourth-round pick who is the big back that the Ravens have been seeking for the past few years. He made headlines this past two week after being arrested for a couple of misdemeanors, which hasn't significantly changed their high expectations of him. And Forsett is a fast, elusive third-down type of a back. If Rice is suspended, the Ravens will go with Pierce. If Pierce isn't healthy, the Ravens will decide between Taliaferro and Forsett.

Fantasy Impact: 

Pierce is nursing a shoulder injury but should be ready for camp. He will play a key role if Rice is suspended.

Bernard Pierce (shoulder) out until training camp

Ravens backup running back Bernard Pierce remains out until training camp after undergoing rotator cuff surgery in January on his right shoulder. Harbaugh reiteratated that Pierce isn't going to practice the entire spring.

The Ravens could need Pierce to play a lot early in the season, especially if starter Ray Rice is suspended under the NFL personal-conduct policy because of a domestic violence incident at an Atlantic City casino.

“He’s been allowed to move around a little bit, but we just can’t risk him falling on it right now and getting a setback,” Harbaugh said. “So, you’re probably looking at training camp for him, which shouldn’t be an issue as long as you don’t get a setback.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Rice's situation makes Pierce a player to monitor this offseason. Justin Forsett, Lorenzo Taliaferro and Cierre Wood are next up on the depth chart.

The Ravens have signed running back Justin Forsett to a one-year deal.

Baltimore was looking to add to its running back corps this offseason. Ray Rice’s recent legal troubles, which could lead to a suspension, also a consideration, according to Head Coach John Harbaugh. Forsett joins Rice and Bernard Pierce.

He spent the 2012 season with the Houston Texans and new Ravens Offensive Coordinator Gary Kubiak, which gives him an understanding of Kubiak’s system that he can help pass along to the other running backs.

Bucs plan to use a 'one-two punch' in backfield

Unlike former head coach Greg Schiano, who preferred to give the bulk of the carries to a single back such as Doug Martin, new OC Jeff Tedford plans to use a two- and maybe even three-back scheme that constantly forces defenses to adjust to his personnel.

“When I was at (the University of California) we were always very fortunate to have two very good backs, whether it was J.J. Arrington and Marshawn Lynch or Lynch and Justin Forsett, or Lynch and Jahvid Best or Jahvid Best and Shane Vereen,’’ Tedford said Wednesday.

“We really had a good one-two punch in the backfield there and I think that’s what you need. For one guy to carry the load the whole time, especially as physical as this level is, is a lot. So (we’re looking) to have two and probably three backs that can provide different things for you.’’

Fantasy Impact: 

We don't have to read between the lines to see that Martin may not get the workhorse-type touches that he received in his first season. Still, he'll very likely be the lead back and hold 2nd/3rd round value heading into 2014 fantasy drafts.
