Week 4 vs. Oakland
Terrance West outperformed Justin Forsett last week against the Jaguars and got three more carries than his counterpart as a result. He still ended up with just 45 yards on ten carries though and remains a risky option while splitting touches and doing very little in the passing game.
West could do well against the Raiders this week if he gets a full workload. The Raiders have allowed the fourth most rushing yards to opposing offenses through the first three weeks of the season. However, with Forsett still lurking, limited work on third down, and the potential return of Kenneth Dixon from injury, there’s a lot of risk associated with West. If Dixon is out, then West might put up low-end RB2 numbers in standard leagues, but it’s probably best to leave the Baltimore backfield alone for now.
Update:
West will get the start against the Raiders with news that Forsett has been benched. It's a great matchup, but West is still a low-end RB2 at best in most leagues due to his ineffectiveness and the likelihood that he won't play on passing downs.
