ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Ravens are activating RB J.K. Dobbins off the physically unable to perform list today. There has been no real indication this designation was actually injury related, as Dobbins has been seeking a new contract (along with approximately every other NFL RB). HC John Harbaugh has said he maintained contact with Dobbins throughout the RB's absence and has been awaiting his return. We expect Dobbins to quickly claim the top spot on the depth chart and have not moved him down our RB rankings amid the holdout.
Update: ESPN's Jamison Hensley adds that Dobbins took part in individual drills at Monday's practice.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards will be "partially ready" for next week's minicamp, HC John Harbaugh said. Edwards played in just nine games last year after his 2021 ACL tear and subsequent hamstring injury. But he played in the final seven regular-season games and Baltimore's playoff loss, so it's unclear what's ailing him now. "No setback," Harbaugh said. "Maybe they're being a little cautious, but that's what they're doing." Harbaugh added that Edwards should be "fully ready" come training camp, but his health is worth monitoring this summer.
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins rushed 13 times for 62 yards in Sunday’s loss to Cincinnati. He saw only 1 more attempt than Gus Edwards (12-39) and added 4-43-1 as a receiver. Afterwords, Dobbins expressed frustration with the lack of carries. "I'm a guy who feels like I should be on the field all the time," Dobbins said. "It's the playoffs. Why am I not out there?” The 24-year-old was specifically referring to QB Tyler Huntley’s 4th-quarter fumble on a goal line sneak. 2023 turns up a contract year for Dobbins.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (concussion) cleared the league's protocol and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Bengals. This would be a pretty good spot for Ravens RBs in a world where QB Lamar Jackson was healthy and under center. The Bengals' defense ranks 22nd in Football Outsiders' run defense DVOA over their last 4 games. Unfortunately, the offense isn't as strong with QB Tyler Huntley or rookie QB Anthony Brown as the starter. Edwards is a ho-hum RB2 that would need to find the end zone to really pay off for fantasy purposes. There are likely better options available for playoff contests.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (concussion) upgraded to limited participation in practice on Thursday. We'll see if he'll be cleared to play in Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Bengals. Check back tomorrow for more updates.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (concussion) didn't practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he'll be able to log participation this week in advance of Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Bengals. Be sure to check back for updates.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals with a head injury. Now in the concussion protocol, his availability for next weekend's Wild Card game is in question. We'll track his progress this coming week.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins will not play against the Bengals today "and instead will begin focusing on next weekend’s wild-card game." Dobbins was not listed on this week's injury report but had the August 2021 ACL tear and surgery on that same knee this October. Assuming he didn't suffer a setback over the past couple of days, Dobbins should be busy in next weekend's Wild Card game. His absence today figures to leave Gus Edwards as Baltimore's lead ball carrier, with Justice Hill and Kenyan Drake behind him.
Responding to a question about RB Gus Edwards playing 9 snaps on Sunday night, Ravens HC John Harbaugh expressed regret. “I wasn't happy about that, Harbaugh said. “Gus should have played more.” J.K. Dobbins out-carried Edwards 17-3, a week after Dobbins held a narrow edge (12-11). Edwards won’t be a recommended Week 18 fantasy play against Cincinnati.
Ravens RBs J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards split the rushing work evenly in Sunday's win over the Falcons. Dobbins edged his teammate by 1 carry (12-11), but Edwards led the way in yardage this time. He racked up 99, averaging 9.0 per rush with a long run of 37. Dobbins tallied 59 yards (4.9 per carry). Baltimore gets a tougher rushing draw against the Steelers in Week 17, which will make it tough to love either member of this split situation.
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins rushed 13 times for 125 yards in Saturday's loss to the Browns. It marked his 2nd straight game over 100 rushing yards since returning from IR. Dobbins also increased his share of RB carries, claiming 61.9% after barely edging Gus Edwards in his 1st game back. Dobbins also caught his only target for 3 yards. He gets a high-upside matchup with the Falcons in Week 16. Edwards carried 7 times for 55 yards against the Browns. Justice Hill chimed in a carry for 3 yards and 1 catch (on 1 target) for 15 yards.
Ravens RB Kenyan Drake is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Browns. Baltimore will roll with RBs J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill.
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins racked up 120 yards and a TD on 15 carries in Sunday's win over the Steelers. It was his 1st game back since the team shut Dobbins down for arthroscopic surgery in the knee that required an ACL repair last summer. Dobbins set season highs in attempts and yards in his return, a game that saw Baltimore run 38 times vs. 23 dropbacks. RB Gus Edwards ranked 2nd with 13 rushing attempts for 66 yards. RB Kenyan Drake carried just once (for 1 yard) and added another yard on 2 catches (2 targets). The Ravens figure to go run-heavy again in Week 15, with QB Lamar Jackson expected to be out once more. QB Tyler Huntley appears likely to sit as well after suffering a concussion against Pittsburgh. Dobbins should be picked up where available in most leagues this week.
Fill-in QB Tyler Huntley led the Ravens with 41 rushing yards on 10 carries in Sunday's win over the Broncos. RB Kenyan Drake followed with just 29 yards on 7 attempts (4.1 per carry). Then came Gus Edwards (6-12, 2.0) and Justice Hill (1-2). Next comes a visit to Pittsburgh. We'll see whether RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is ready to return -- as well as how much longer QB Lamar Jackson will remain out.
Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) won't play vs. the Broncos this weekend, HC John Harbaugh said Friday. Dobbins returned to practice this week after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in late October and has a chance to make it back for Week 14. He's a fine stash in fantasy but is unlikely to be anything close to a league-winner. Gus Edwards will operate as Baltimore's lead back vs. Denver on Sunday.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards took over the backfield Sunday against the Jaguars, in his return from a hamstring injury. He handled a team-high 16 carries, 84.2% of the team's RB rushing attempts. RB Kenyan Drake played half as many snaps in all and ran just 2 more routes than Edwards. He split time with Justice Hill. They combined for 3 rushes and 1 target. Edwards took his 16 run for just 52 yards but saved his fantasy line with a 1-yard TD early in the 4th quarter. Week 13 brings a Denver defense that has been weaker against the run than the pass for a while.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He’s the best bet to lead Baltimore RBs in carries today, but it’s tough to know exactly what the backfield split will look like between Edwards, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill.
Ravens RB Gus Edwards (hamstring, knee) is expected to play vs. the Jaguars today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Edwards got in full practices on Thursday and Friday, so he should be at least close to 100%. Edwards led Baltimore's backfield with 16 carries in his lone full game this season, but it's unclear exactly what the backfield split between Edwards, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill will look like today.
