Week 11 vs. Carolina Panthers
Kenyan Drake had his best game of the season against the Saints before the bye last week. He ran for 93 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 24 carries, and he was a key part of why the team was able to eat clock and secure a victory in the second half. Drake is averaging 4.7 yards per carry as the sometimes-starter in Baltimore this year, and he’s scored four touchdowns over his last four games.
Drake isn’t likely to see the same workload he had against the Saints with Gus Edwards expected to be back in the fold, but with his success this season, it’s hard to think the Ravens won’t continue to use him in some capacity. Temper expectations, however, since we don’t fully know how the carries are going to shake out. We have him ranked just outside RB2 territory for Week 11.
Update: With Gus Edwards out, Drake is a solid RB2 option this week.
