Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that West will have an opportunity to be part of the Baltimore offense in the wake of Justin Forsett's season-ending arm injury. "[West] will definitely get an opportunity," said Harbaugh. "He's practiced well for us since he's been here."
Javorius Allen is set to lead the Baltimore backfield, with West and Raheem Mostert in reserve. West was a healthy scratch for Sunday's win over the Rams, but he may be ahead of the undersized Mostert for early-down work behind Allen. Such a role might leave West just one injury away from regular carries, though the Baltimore offense is likely in for a rough final six weeks, regardless of who's toting the rock. Futhermore, Mostert is the higher-upside handcuff for deep leagues, as West's lack of quickness and passing-game skills puts a pretty low cap on his ceiling.
