Baltimore Ravens. LORENZO TALIAFERRO. N/A. Rushing: <b>13 carries for 47 yards (3.6 yards per carry) / 1 TD<br /> Receiving: 5 receptions for 29 yards</b>. RB

Taliaferro entered the season as the “big back” for Baltimore and was expected to get the carries near the goal-line. Coming off a solid 2014 season, many thought he would take a leap forward this season. That was not the case.

He gets no grade because he was injured early in the season and was eventually placed on IR with a foot injury. He is under contract in 2016 and it will be intriguing who the Ravens keep in the mix next year. Most teams do not keep four running backs on their roster, but Baltimore has four guys that are capable of playing in the NFL.
