Mark Ingram II Week 4 Outlook -

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 1st 2020, 9:39am EDT

As mentioned in the Jackson notes, the Ravens simply lost their way last week and Jackson's struggles had a butterfly effect down the entire roster. Through three games, Ingram has just 26 carries, which is nowhere near enough. In fact, none of the Ravens running backs have enough touches, as they've combined for 54 carries and seven receptions. That's an average of 20.3 touches for a backfield that's averaging 5.91 yards per carry and 8.11 yards per target. They need more touches. Running backs have averaged a healthy 29.0 touches per game against Washington, which is more than enough, though the 0.77 PPR points per opportunity ranks as the 10th-lowest mark through three weeks. That mark looked much better through two weeks, but Nick Chubb crushed them for 108 rushing yards and two touchdowns last week, with most of it coming after both Matt Ioannidis and Chase Young left the game. We already know Ioannidis is out for the year, while Young isn't going to play this week. The matchup is clearly better than it was a few weeks ago and the Ravens have to know they need to get back to what works. Ingram is likely to be the leader in carries, but he can't be trusted as anything more than a low-end RB2/high-end RB3 while averaging just 9.3 touches per game. Dobbins played a season-high 24 snaps in Week 3 and it appears he's their favorite passing-down back, but he's totaled just 15 touches through three games. In a game they're expected to win (by a lot), it's a hit-or-miss RB4 game for him where there may be enough to go around between them, but this game does favor the Ingram and Edwards roles.
