Danny Woodhead (ankle) said he is back to 100 percent.
Woodhead suffered a scare when he sprained his ankle during minicamp, but he is fully healthy heading into camp. "It took a couple weeks, but now I’m as healthy as I’ve been in a long time," he said. "I feel great going into the season." A factor in both the pass game and red zone, Woodhead is a solid RB2 in PPR formats.

GM Ozzie Newsome insists the Ravens would have signed Danny Woodhead regardless of Kenneth Dixon's four-game PED suspension.
Newsome admitted Dixon's ban created a greater sense of urgency, but landing Woodhead was the plan all along. "He still would have been a big part of our conversation," said Newsome. "We still would have signed him." In other words, the Ravens envision Woodhead as an important piece of their offense and not just a Band-Aid for when Dixon is out. Fantasy owners can expect Woodhead to dominate passing-down chances with Terrance West handling most of the early-down and short-yardage work early in the season.

The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec wrote he "lost track of how many" passes Danny Woodhead caught during minicamp.
It is not surprising considering Woodhead has multiple 75-catch seasons under his belt, but it is still good to get confirmation. In addition to his large role as a pass catcher, Woodhead should be on the field often in the red zone, which is bad news for Terrance West. Even after Kenneth Dixon returns from his four-game suspension, Woodhead will likely be the Ravens back to own both in standard and PPR.

#Ravens RB Danny Woodhead (hamstring) has officially returned to practice. Some offensive help on the wya.
Wish they could have waited another 24 hours to break this story. I was all set to grab him on the WW before other owners realized what was going on, but that just got a lot tougher.eligible to return in Week 11.
This looks like a nice schedule for Collins.Reminder...Baltimore playoff schedule:
14 - @Pitt
15 - @Cle
16 - vs Ind
Cleveland gets shredded by passing down backs (most recently Jerrick McKinnon). We all know to start all RBs against Ind. Yes I get his injury history but usage, upside and schedule he needs to be rostered in all formats.
Baltimore has shown that when they are controlling a game they are willing to give all their backs touches. The wins over Clev, Cinn, Oak and Mia their RBs all had over 35 touches. I expect them to control the games vs Clev and Ind.This looks like a nice schedule for Collins.
Back at practice but no word on if he will be off IR this week. Eligible to be, but no definitive statement that I've seen.Any word?
Por que no?Even if he is active I can't see him getting a full complement of snaps.
I'd rather have the guy leading the league in ypcI kind of think Woodhead & Collins will cancel each other out, but at this point I guess I'd rather have Woodhead.
I’d rather watch him explode on my bench and comfortably start him during the fantasy playoffs.I'd rather have Danny
I'd do that, too, if I had the choice.I’d rather watch him explode on my bench and comfortably start him during the fantasy playoffs.
I say OK.Can’t start him in front of McCoy or Hunt, but can I flex him instead of Sanders?
Naw. They will probably ease him back in to start. No need to push and risk him after such a long layoff.Gotta think they activated him to give a full load for his role. No reason to use a roster space on someone who is only going to see a handful of snaps - particularly when they could wait.
Ease him back in? He's not an every down back anyway.Naw. They will probably ease him back in to start. No need to push and risk him after such a long layoff.
Can't start him ahead of Hunt, Ingram or Peterson but I'm on the fence about putting him in over DT.Can’t start him in front of McCoy or Hunt, but can I flex him instead of Sanders?
Why not over Peterson?Can't start him ahead of Hunt, Ingram or Peterson but I'm on the fence about putting him in over DT.
Lol enjoy your 10 touches before he is back on IRAnyone still holding Collins expecting him to be a startable back at any point going forward now that Woodhead is back really needs to put the Koolaid down. We have seen how he has been used now it’s Woodhead’s turn to return to fantasy relevance. Not expecting much initially but interested to see what comes.
Why's that? Strained hamstring 10 weeks ago that they didn't take any chances on.Lol enjoy your 10 touches before he is back on IR

Because I expect the Cardinals to feed him heavily. Granted, the Texans will focus on him and try to make Blaine beat them, but I think AD does well this week.Why not over Peterson?
And he’ll still outscore CollinsLol enjoy your 10 touches before he is back on IR
Sounds about right. I can’t imagine he gets the full complement of touches his first game back. Probably won’t see my starting lineup but nice to have him as a stash in ppr.For those starting or sitting him - what’s your projections?
Obviously more valuable in a PPR, I think he gets 4 catches for 25 and 5 or less carries for another 30 yards.
He could see a much bigger load. I think it’s more probable he doesn’t. I’ve seen the cases of guys out this long needing to knock off of some rust in the first game back.
I’m fine risking Woody having a big day on my bench on his first day back, knowing he’ll help provide great flex starts through the playoffs.
Distribution of carries between all Ravens backs this weekend, especially as dictated by game script, will be intriguing.
