2. Running Back Alex Collins

2017 could be considered as a breakout year for the former fifth-round pick as he went from being waived by the Seattle Seahawks to the starter for the Baltimore Ravens.

But I still mention Alex Collins on this list because he could break out even more by rushing for over 1,000 yards and double-digit touchdowns. He came close to that with 973 yards and six rushing touchdowns in 12 games started.

With his starter status safe as of now unlike 2017, Collins should be the staple of the Ravens run game as he was the highest graded runningback by Pro Football Focus in 2017.
