Fantasy Football Player Notes

After two weeks Harris has averaged 14 touches and 72.5 total yards per game. He's picked up right where he left off last season as one of the league's most efficient rushers. He's currently 13th in yards after contact per attempt and 20th in PFF's elusive rating (minimum ten carries). The Ravens are no pushover on the ground allowing the eighth-lowest rushing yards per game, tenth-lowest rushing success rate, and 12th-lowest explosive rush rate. Harris saw his route run % drop from 30.3% to 23.7% from Week 1 to Week 2 as Stevenson took over the passing down back role. Harris's red zone stranglehold pushes him over Stevenson while both are RB3s this week.

Stevenson has averaged ten touches and 39 total yards. His snaps climbed from 25% to 62% in Week 2 as he became the primary passing-down specialist. His lack of a red zone role is concerning, but it's only a two-game sample and that could easily change with the drop of a hat this week. Despite Stevenson's mediocre 6.2% target share, his role in the offense offers the higher upside this week if the red zone touches even out. Last year the Ravens were 30th in DVOA against receiving backs. This year they have already faced the most running back targets in the NFL surrendering the second-most receptions and third-most receiving yards. Last year Stevenson was fifth in yards per route run among running backs (minimum 15 targets).
