Terrance West, RB, Baltimore Ravens, 28% owned

West was elevated to the starting role in Baltimore’s backfield last week, and he responded with the best single-game rushing performance of his career. He carried 21 times for 113 yards, delivering the Ravens’ first rushing score by a running back this season as well as the team’s first run of 20-plus yards. West is a powerful runner, well-suited to goal-line work, and he’s averaging 4.3 YPC on 54 attempts this season. Justin Forsett was a healthy scratch on Sunday, so he’s no threat. We’ll likely see rookie Kenneth Dixon reenter Baltimore’s backfield mix in Week 5, but he’s returning from a multi-game knee injury and doesn’t figure to have anything more than a cameo role in his first regular season appearances. For now, West is clearly his team’s featured runner. He’s your priority add, no question.

Wendell Smallwood, RB, Philadelphia Eagles, 12%

Smallwood impressed in a big way in Philly’s Week 3 win against Pittsburgh, carrying 17 times for 79 yards and a walk-in touchdown. The rookie has earned plenty of praise from Eagles coach Doug Pederson, and it seems clear he’ll have at least a rotational role moving forward. Ryan Mathews remains the presumptive lead back for Philadelphia, but he’s a player with a deep injury history, currently dealing with an ankle issue. Smallwood was exceptionally productive at the collegiate level for West Virginia last season (1519 rush, 6.4 YPC), and he certainly hasn’t been over-matched as a pro. Last year, Smallwood actually tied for the FBS lead in runs of 10-plus yards, matching the total delivered by Derrick Henry and Leonard Fournette. He’s a tough runner with big-play ability who definitely belongs in the flex discussion.

Carson Wentz, QB, Philadelphia Eagles, 36%

We’re three games into Wentz’s NFL career and still waiting for his first significant rookie mistake. He’s completed 64.7 percent of his attempts, hasn’t yet thrown an interception, and he’s tossed five touchdown passes to four different receivers. His passer rating is 103.8, and he saved his best performance (301 yards, 9.7 Y/A) for his toughest opponent (Pittsburgh). He’s been terrific when operating from the game script, and equally impressive when called upon to improvise. Over the next two weeks, Wentz will face a pair of the league’s most user-friendly pass defenses (Detroit and Washington), so no one should be surprised if the stats continue to pile up.
