OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins has a message for fantasy football owners:
"Draft me now before it’s too late, guys."
Collins gained 973 yards rushing last season, the second most by a Ravens running back over the past five seasons. He just hasn't gained much of a following.
Coach John Harbaugh noticed a ranking of running backs on the NFL's website that placed Collins as the 26th-best back in the league. That put Colins behind the top two running backs on both the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals.
