1. Alex Collins:

In real football, difference makers are a nice thing to have. In fantasy football difference makers are big point scorers. Collins is a difference maker. Collins has the ability to make a small run into a big run. The first season with the Ravens was just a tease, bigger and better results are on the way. Collins is going to be a sensational weapon for the offense. If Marty Mornhinweg remembers to make him the workhorse of the offense (which is a substantial if) Collins is going to have a big season.

Look for the Ravens to focus on running the football and opening up the passing game with a run first offense. This is the way the Ravens have historically had success and it looks to be the game plan moving forward. The Ravens have a tendency to go with the hot hand, and Collins is electric. Look for him to create spark plays during the season that the Ravens reward with more carries. Collins is still the best player on the offense, but the offense is drastically improved. That should help Collins and the running game.

Collins is going to have a Pro Bowl worthy season. The only knock on Collins is that Buck Allen and Kenneth Dixon figure to work into the backfield as well. It still seems that Collins is the main guy, so that concern is somewhat of a mild one. Fantasy Football is a lot of fun. These are the five Ravens that make the most sense for your beating everybody in your league kind of needs. Ebony Bird is here for you every step of the way.
