Ravens' John Harbaugh: Alex Collins to have a short leash
Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh said that running back Alex Collins will not have a long leash and that he won't tolerate his fumbling problems.
What It Means:
Harbaugh inserted the 23-year-old Collins into the early-down starting role in Week 4 only to see him lose a fumble for the second time in three games. Collins did, however, rush for 82 yards on nine carries as he ranked second in running back snaps (17) behind Javorius Allen (40) and ahead of Terrance West (11).
The Ravens will take to the road against the Oakland Raiders in Week 5. Given the Raiders' respectable run defense and Collins' dicey role, it's fitting that we temper our expectations, to the tune of just 7.5 carries, 26.9 yards and 7.0 FanDuel points for the Week 5 tilt.
