Ravens want backfield to stay 'fresh'

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is committed to a committee approach in the backfield.

What It Means:

"A fresh running back is a good thing," Harbaugh replied when asked about Alex Collins' reduced workload in Sunday's overtime loss to the Cleveland Browns. "We need to spread the load." Collins played a season-low 31.0 percent of the Ravens' offensive snaps in Week 5, finishing with total 66 yards while being out-touched 14-13 by Buck Allen. Baltimore visits the Tennessee Titans in Week 6.

Collins is averaging 9.6 FanDuel points per game, with 217 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns, as well as 9 receptions for 77 yards and 1 touchdown on 14 targets.
