START ‘EM

59. . Running Back. Dolphins. Jay Ajayi. 2. player

Jay Ajayi has been amongst the biggest disappointments in fantasy football this year for sure. Last year he was running rough shot over everyone, but he’s yet to find the end zone so far this season.

Ajayi should like his chances this week against a Ravens defense that ranks dead last as far as rushing yards allowed per game go, according to NFL.com. This is Ajayi’s chance to have a big game and instill confidence in his fantasy owners.

Ajayi has had two games where he rushed for over 100 yards this season, but not having found the end zone is what’s hurting his stock. Look for the Dolphins running back to have a big night in Baltimore this week.

The match-up is in his favor and with several big time running backs on byes this week, this is as good a week as any to slot Jay Ajayi in as your RB1.
