Stakes are getting higher and higher as the fantasy playoffs approach. Who can you count on to give your team a boost?

Kenneth Dixon, RB, Baltimore Ravens

ESPN Ownership: 25.1%
Yahoo Ownership: 29%

Kenneth Dixon has seen his playing time increase in four consecutive games (snap numbers again courtesy of Nathan Jahnke), culminating in his playing 44.9% of the Baltimore Ravens offensive snaps in Week 12.

He was the most efficient Ravens running back this week, with a -0.15 Rushing NEP on 13 carries compared to a -2.61 on 13 carries for Terrance West. Dixon also has had the more efficient season, with a 0.04 Rushing NEP per carry going into Week 12 compared to West's -0.07.

With the edge in efficiency, Dixon should continue to see his role in the offense grow, and that lines up with a great matchup in Week 13 as he takes on a Miami Dolphins defense that ranked 27 in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play going into Week 12 and allowed 193 yards on 25 carries to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
