Kenneth Dixon

A 2016 fourth-round pick, Dixon averaged 4.3 yards on 88 carries and caught 30 passes in 12 games as a rookie, setting himself up to compete for the starting job last season. He instead ended up with a six-game suspension and a torn meniscus, ultimately sitting out his entire sophomore campaign. Collins seized the opportunity to rumble for 973 yards and six touchdowns on 212 carries (4.6 average), positioning himself as a clear favorite to reprise the lead role in 2018. However, he doesn't offer much as a pass catcher, and the Ravens released Danny Woodhead in March. Barring a backfield addition in the early rounds of the upcoming draft, Dixon and Allen figure to compete for a passing-down role, with the opportunity to also spell Collins on some early downs. Dixon is expected to be back at full strength for the offseason program, though the Ravens haven't explicitly confirmed that his rehab process is finished. LSU running back Derrius Guice -- a presumed first- or second-rounder -- was brought in Thursday for a predraft visit, but the Ravens still seem more likely to use their early picks on wide receivers, tight ends or offensive linemen.
