Dolphins running back Daniel Thomas has seen his role in the running game shrink in recent weeks, a trend that is unlikely to reverse itself in Week 5 against the Ravens.
The Ravens defense has held strong against running backs for much of the season, allowing just their first touchdown of the season in Week 4 against the Bills. Seeing as how Thomas has actually been ceding goal-line carries to Lamar Miller in recent weeks, that does not bode well for him from a Fantasy perspective.
Thomas gains much of his increasingly limited value from the possibility of scoring on the goal line, and even that seems to be fading. Against a stout rushing defense like the Ravens, Thomas is little more than an emergency starter for Week 5.
