The Baltimore Ravens leading rusher, Alex Collins, finally ended his scoring drought in Week 11 and now he has scored in back-to-back games. Collins carried the ball 16 times for 60 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Houston Texans Monday night.

He also caught two passes for a loss of 3 yards in the contest. It was his first 60-yard rushing game since Week 8. Collins shares the backfield duties with Buck Allen and Danny Woodhead, but he had at least 10 more touches than both of his teammates in Week 12.
Collins should be able to continue his scoring streak against the Detroit Lions Sunday. The Lions have allowed the second-most rushing touchdowns in the NFL. They have also given up the 12th-most rushing and receiving yards to RBs this season.
Fantasy impact: Collins is the feature back in Baltimore this season. That has not meant much in terms of fantasy production, however. Collins is the only Ravens RB with double-digit carries in every game since Week 5 but he has surpassed 60 rushing yards only three times in that span. The sophomore rusher has more appeal now that he is scoring. Collins is a good flex option against the Lions Sunday.
