Likely to start for Edwards Drake is expected to replace Gus Edwards (hamstring) -- who is listed as doubtful -- as Baltimore's lead option on the ground in Monday's game against the Saints, Ryan Mink of the...

Impact After Edwards exited early in the Ravens' Week 8 win over the Buccaneers with the hamstring injury, Drake stepped in to play 57 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps while finishing with 62 yards on seven carries to go with four receptions for five yards and a touchdown. In addition to his expected role as the Ravens' top ball carrier, Drake will likely continue to see some involvement as a pass catcher, though Justice Hill projects to have a role as Baltimore's main change-of-pace option. Even so, with Edwards likely out of the lineup and with six teams on bye Week 9, Drake looks to be a reasonable flex option in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Records receiving TD in win Drake rushed seven times for 62 yards and brought in all four targets for five yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 27-22 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Impact Gus Edwards exited the game early with a hamstring injury that apparently doesn't seem serious per Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun, which gave Drake some extra opportunities that he put to good use. The veteran back finished second to Edwards in rushing yards and also recorded a five-yard game-tying touchdown grab in the third quarter for his second score of the season overall. If Edwards is limited in any way for the Week 9 road matchup versus the Saints on Monday night, Nov. 7, Drake could certainly be a beneficiary once again.

Held to five yards in Week 7 Drake rushed 11 times for five yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Browns.

Impact After rushing for 119 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries against the Giants in the previous game, Drake was bottled up by the Browns. Gus Edwards (knee) made his season debut and was far more effective on the ground, scoring two touchdowns while racking up 66 yards on 16 carries. Edwards should function as Baltimore's top rushing option for the remainder of J.K. Dobbins' (knee) absence, while Drake will likely be limited to a change-of-pace role.

Impact Edwards was activated from the PUP list on Saturday following a lengthy layoff, so it's unclear how much volume he'll see in his return to the mix. Last week against the Giants, with Hill sidelined, Drake racked up 119 yards and a TD on 10 carries in relief of Dobbins, so he should have an opportunity to build off that effort this Sunday, though once Edwards is able to re-prove his health he's a candidate to claim a solid portion of the team's early-down touches.

Ravens RB J.K. Dobbins expected to have knee surgery, out 4-6 weeks

Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins is expected to undergo knee surgery, which will keep him off the field for at least the next month.

Poised for expanded role With J.K. Dobbins (knee) out Sunday against the Browns, Drake and Justice Hill are in line to see added touches in the Ravens' Week 7 backfield, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports...

Impact Per Hensley, it's unclear if Gus Edwards (knee) will be activated from the PUP list ahead of Sunday's contest. However, with Dobbins unavailable and reportedly expected to undergo a knee scope that could cost him 4-t-6 weeks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Drake has a chance to make a fantasy impact in the coming weeks on the heels of racking up 119 yards and a TD on 10 carries in relief of Dobbins in this past Sunday's loss to the Giants.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Could handle lead role Sunday Drake could be in line to lead the Ravens backfield Sunday versus the Browns after J.K. Dobbins (knee) was ruled out for Week 7.

Impact Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Dobbins is slated to have arthroscopic knee surgery in the near future that will sideline him for 4-to-6 weeks. As a result, Drake could be the lead runner for a run-heavy offense for the foreseeable future, even if Gus Edwards (knee) is activated from the reserve/PUP list. His current healthy competitors for touches on the active roster are Justice Hill and Mike Davis. Drake reeled off 127 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 11 touches in the midst of Dobbins' early Week 6 departure.

Steps up in second half Drake rushed the ball 10 times for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Giants. He added one reception for eight yards.

Impact Drake was involved throughout the game but served as the team's primary rusher in the second half after J.K. Dobbins was held out with knee tightness. Drake was a driving force behind the offense, as he ripped off two 30-yard rushes -- one of which went for a touchdown -- and another 21-yard gain. He entered Sunday's matchup having averaged only 3.1 yards per carry and no rushes of more than 20 yards across 21 carries, so it's unclear at best whether he may be able to replicate these results moving forward. His opportunity will also be -- at least in part -- dictated by the health of both Dobbins and Gus Edwards (knee).
