Ravens optimistic about offense with return of RB Danny Woodhead

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said there is optimism surrounding the offense with the return of running backs Danny Woodhead (hamstring) and Terrance West (calf). Both will practice this week before players are given four days off for the bye. Woodhead, in particular, provides the biggest matchup problem for defenses and can provide a boost on third downs, which has been a trouble spot for Baltimore.

"I see an identity to this offense," Harbaugh said. "I understand the identity. I understand where we're going as an offense. I have a good feel for what we're trying to accomplish. I can look at it and see where we're going to build. I'm excited about it."

Fantasy Impact: 

Perhaps based on that comment, Woodhead will be a big part of the offense. Woodhead was injured in Week 1, and played only six snaps, but touched the ball on four of them, which included three catches for 33 yards. If you can afford to stash him, now may be a good time to grab him.
