Mink: The Ravens have an especially deep backfield with the addition of Kenyan Drake last week. In J.K. Dobbins, Mike Davis and Drake, Baltimore has three experienced starters all under 30 years old. The division of labor largely depends on Dobbins’ health. He’s absolutely made strides since returning to practice on Aug. 8. Last week, Head Coach John Harbaugh said Dobbins’ quickness has returned. Still, Harbaugh hasn’t made any definitive statement on whether Dobbins will play Week 1 or not.

If Dobbins does play, I imagine that the Ravens will ease him back into game action with a fairly equal division of labor between he and a No. 2 back, with maybe a few touches sprinkled in for a No. 3. It remains to be seen whether the top backup will be Davis or Drake. Davis is ranked No. 2 on the first depth chart (for whatever that’s worth) and Drake is obviously still learning the offense. If Dobbins doesn’t play in New York, Davis would probably get the lion’s share of the reps with Drake and Justice Hill backing him up.

Overall, fans should probably expect a healthy rotation from the Ravens’ back at the start of the season. Knowing how competitive Dobbins is, he’ll probably push to be full-go. Maybe coaches have seen enough from him to carry a big load from the jump, but it wouldn’t be surprising if they pull back the reins on their eager future superstar, especially considering their confidence in his backups.
