Justin Forsett

One thing we know about Justin Forsett is he will be the lead receiver out of the backfield, as he has already caught 13 passes, albeit for just 32 yards.

He should also be a reliable change of pace back. Forsett has averaged just ten carries a game, but has turned those carries into 63 yards per game. His 189 yards leads the team, as does his 6.3 yards per carry average.

When Forsett heats up, the Ravens have proven willing to feed him the rock, but his lack of size precludes him from racking up too many carries.

Forsett may end up being the most consistent member of the Ravens’ backfield and probably the most efficient too. If his average of 14 touches per game holds up, Forsett should have a very productive season.
