NFL: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens

Even with the fantasy football playoffs nearing, new names are emerging into fantasy relevance.

Kenneth Dixon has seemingly been one everyone’s watch list for the entire season, but has failed to take over the Baltimore Ravens’ backfield thus far. It finally appears he is unseating Terrance West for that spot.

On Sunday vs. the Cincinnati Bengals, Dixon rushed for 49 yards on 13 carries to go with four catches for 31 yards. He has accounted for 200 all-purpose yards over his last three games as it appears Dixon will be the top back in the Ravens’ offense soon.

While Dixon is the new name emerging, Tevin Coleman is the known commodity back in the fold. Coleman returned in Week 12 after missing three games with a hamstring injury.

Despite the injury, Coleman ranks 14th in fantasy scoring among running backs in PPR leagues. Even though he backs up Devonta Freeman for the Atlanta Falcons, Coleman may very well help you win a fantasy title in PPR leagues.
