The Baltimore Ravens are listing Kenneth Dixon as questionable vs. the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. Dixon suffered a chest contusion in Sunday’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, though he practiced in full all three days this week, so expect him to play Thursday.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 10: Kenneth Dixon questionable for Ravens vs. Browns
If the Ravens want to see what Kenneth Dixon is made of, this would be the week to give him a big workload.

When the Ravens drafted Dixon this year, the expectation was he would eventually become the team’s starting running back. However, a sprained knee suffered in the preseason led to him missing the first four regular-season games before returning.
Incumbent starter Terrance West has just 31 yards and no scores on 23 carries over his last two games. That includes 21 yards on 15 carries vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9, which is why Dixon has gotten more touches as of late.
Dixon nine had rushes and two catches in last week’s win over Pittsburgh, which could signal more chances for him are coming soon. They may come as soon as this week vs. the struggling Browns.
Fantasy Impact: Yahoo! ranks Dixon as the 38th-best running back in Week 10. He goes against a Browns defense allowing the third-most fantasy points to running backs this season.
Keep Dixon on the bench now and for the foreseeable future until he shows he can produce in this offense.
