A week after looking like the clear back for the Baltimore Ravens, Kenneth Dixon took a step back from a usage standpoint.

His touches dropped from 19 to 9 from Week 14 to 15, while he didn't record a catch for the first time since Week 11. He also played just 25.8 percent of the offensive snaps, as opposed to 60 percent in Week 14.

However, he still put together a salvageable fantasy performance by finding the end zone for the second consecutive week. In Week 16, he will get a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who had allowed the fourth-most fantasy points (Standard Scoring) heading into Week 15. Pittsburgh gave up 76 rushing yards and 2 scores to the Cincinnati Bengals and could certainly cede a big fantasy performance to Dixon this week.

Dixon's Week 15 usage is concerning enough to make him a second-tier waiver priority, but he is worth a look if you are in need of an upside flex play.
