Justin Forsett hopes there's no RB committee

When asked how he felt about a running back by committee approach, Ravens RB Justin Forsett jokingly feigned ignorance.

"What's that?" Forsett said, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley.

Forsett's comedy bit oozed with sarcasm, but it underscores the idea that the career journeyman wants to carry the load.

One thing Forsett has in his favor is that the running game did struggle last season, especially when he was out of the lineup. On the balance, the Ravens fell to 1,478 total rushing yards in 2015, down from 2,019 in 2015.

But the 30-year-old back himself doesn't exactly have a history of consistent success. His first season in Baltimore in 2014 was a Pro Bowl year, but it was also his first with more than 120 carries and more than 650 yards.

Fantasy Impact: 

Forsett may want to carry the load, but early indications are this will be a committee. The story mentioned NFL Media's Mike Garafolo noted rookie Kenneth Dixon has a "legitimate shot" to earn snaps early in the season. Dixon is said to have shiftiness and one-cut explosiveness and is a reliable pass-catching out of the backfield.

Ravens Beat: Justin Forsett team's most complete back

There is a clear logjam at RB for the Ravens after resigning Justin Forsett last offseason, picking up Terrance West in November and using fourth-round picks on Lorenzo Taliaferro, Buck Allen and Kenneth Dixon in consecutive years.

Healthy again after breaking his arm last season, Forsett is still the likely starter even though Harbaugh has vowed to go with the hot hand. Until Allen solves his fumbling issues and gets better in pass protection and Dixon shows what he can do at the next level, Forsett remains the Ravens’ most complete back.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story went on to say: Allen is the likely No. 2 following a solid rookie season and Dixon should also get opportunities. West impressed team officials last season and could get a spot while Taliaferro needs to stay healthy. The Ravens will likely lose one or two backs with promise and even though Forsett appears to be the starter, there is plenty of talent at the position behind him on the depth chart.

Ravens Beat: RB Justin Forsett enters the camp as the 'clear lead dog,' 'his job to lose'

Coming off a broken arm that cut his season short last year, Ravens RB Justin Forsett returned to summer workouts as the clear lead dog. He’s healthy once again and just two years removed from a Pro Bowl season. Still, Forsett will have to fend off talented younger competition, especially after his average yards per carry dropped from 5.4 yards in 2014 to 4.2 yards last season. He has to prove himself once again, but it’s his job to lose.

Fantasy Impact: 

Forsett's YPC (4.25) was better than Javorius Allen's (3.75), but the rookie showed good receiving chops, hauling in 45 catches for 353 yards and two touchdowns. Allen was the #6 RB in standard formats (#3 in PPR) from Week 11 to Week 17, while Forsett was sidelined with a wrist injury. Forsett was #17 in standard and #12 in PPR through the first 10 weeks. According to HC John Harbaugh, the two will compete for touches in 2016. Rookie Kenneth Dixon is another potential headache for Forsett owners.

Ravens RB Justin Forsett is the 'presumptive starter if healthy'

Justin Forsett was a breakout player for the Ravens in 2014, totaling 1,266 yards rushing — more than twice as many as any of his previous six seasons — and eight touchdowns. In Forsett’s absence, Javorius Allen started the last six games of 2015 as a rookie.

Now, the Ravens have a bevy of running backs available — Forsett, Allen, Kenneth Dixon, Lorenzo Taliaferro, Terrance West and Trent Richardson — though Forsett is the presumptive starter if healthy.

Forsett's YPC (4.25) was better than Javorius Allen's (3.75), but the rookie showed good receiving chops, hauling in 45 catches for 353 yards and two touchdowns.

According to HC John Harbaugh, the two will compete for touches in 2016. Forsett will be a great value if he gets starter's touches and stays healthy. Dixon is the dark horse in Baltimore.
