Javorius Allen had been the Ravens' top back heading into Week 3, leading Alex Collins in both snaps and opportunities (rushes plus targets). Even with Baltimore playing with a lead in Week 3 (but not a massive blowout like we saw in Week 1), Allen again out-snapped Collins, this time 39 to 35.

Collins did see a significant edge in opportunities (18 carries and 4 targets to 6 carries and 4 targets for Allen), but the fact that the snaps were so close, even in a Collins-friendly game script, is a good sign for Allen continuing to offer fantasy value.

Making Allen especially appealing this week is the fact that the Ravens are 3.5-point underdogs against the Steelers. Allen has a clear edge over Collins for passing-down work (six targets on third down compared to zero for Collins), so being forced to lean on the pass while playing from behind would give his volume a potential bump this week.
