Baltimore Ravens Lorenzo Taliaferro will be out a few weeks with a sprained MCL. He suffered the injury in the team's second preseason game. His availability for Week 1 is in question. Taliaferro is the frontrunner to be the secondary ball-carrier behind starter Justin Forsett . His biggest competition is talented rookie Buck Allen.
Fantasy Analysis:
While Taliaferro is expected to be the RB2 behind Forsett, Allen hill be the secondary pass-catcher. In offensive coordinator Marc Trestman's system, Allen probably actually has more value. He is an excellent receiver out of the backfield and could emerge as a solid PPR play, especially if Forsett were to go down with injury.
