Kenneth Dixon has seen an increased role for four consecutive weeks now, and he played a season-high 44.9% of the Baltimore Ravens offensive snaps in Week 12.
It's no surprise that he has been seeing his playing time increase, as he has been the Ravens' most efficient running back according to our Rushing NEP metrics:
| Player | Rushes | Rushing NEP | Rushing NEP per Carry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kenneth Dixon | 40 | -0.47 | -0.01 |
| Javorious Allen | 9 | -0.41 | -0.05 |
| Terrance West | 153 | -8.32 | -0.05 |
He is clearly already earning the trust of the Baltimore coaching staff, and he should continue to see his workload grow with that edge in efficiency.
Dixon also draws a great matchup by taking on a Miami Dolphins defense that ranks 31st in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play.
