Baltimore Ravens Snap Counts

It was a disappointing sendoff for Steve Smith, who played 78% of the snaps in his final NFL game. Kenneth Dixon played 45% of the snaps, with Terrance West picking up the rest. We had back to back weeks with Dennis Pitta seeing a hefty amount of snaps. He played 74%.

Kenneth Dixon and Terrance West saw split shares this week, and both hovered above 40% of the team snaps. The passing game was spread to Steve Smith, who saw 81% of the team snaps, and Mike Wallace seeing 84%. Dennis Pitta picked up his snaps, playing a solid 77%.

Terrance West had the slight upper-hand on the running back snaps, playing 45%. It was a lot of action in the passing game, as guys like Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman played big snaps. Dennis Pitta played 57% of the snaps, which was the most among tight ends in Baltimore.

Kenneth Dixon played 60% of the snaps this week, as Baltimore trailed most of the game. He had been closing in on Terrance West, but took a step back last week. It is still tough to trust. Outside of that, it was the usual showings for the wide receivers, and Steve Smith led the way in snaps.

Joe Flacco had his best game of the year, with his wideouts being split in action. Dennis Pitta was a top two scoring tight end this week, and played just 47% of the team snaps. Terrance West played 51% of the snaps, who had a decent advantage over Kenneth Dixon, who played just 33%.

This was the first week where we saw Kenneth Dixon lead Baltimore in snaps among running backs. It was always been a bit cluttered. This might be a transition into the rest of the season, but I wouldn't trust it next week. Steve Smith led the team in snaps, with Kamar Aiken, and Breshad Perriman just behind.

Baltimore used both running backs again this week, as the Kenneth Dixon buzz continues. He played 38% of the snaps to Terrance West's 42%. It's still one of the more unattractive backfields to target. Mike Wallace and Steve Smith dominated snaps, leaving little for others. Kamar Aiken played just 56%.

Kenneth Dixon continues to close in on Terrance West, as he played 32% of the snaps to West's 42%. None of the wideouts played monster snaps, as Steve Smith worked himself back into form. Kamar Aiken and Breshad Perriman were the secondary options behind him. Dennis Pitta played his usual amount of snaps.

The running game wasn't a factor, but Terrance West continues to slightly carry the edge in terms of snaps. Kenneth Dixon played 29% of the snaps, and might be closing in on a split backfield. Mike Wallace left the game, which opened the door for Kamar Aiken and Breshad Perriman to get more snaps.

Bye Week

Steve Smith was out yet again, which meant that Mike Wallace, Breshad Perriman, and Kamar Aiken were the trio of wideouts. Wallace led the way, with Perriman finishing second in snaps. Dennis Pitta also played 78% of the snaps. Running backs didn't make much of an impact this week.

With Steve Smith out, Mike Wallace played 86% of the snaps, with Kamar Aiken coming next in line at 78%. We did see Breshad Perriman play 68% of the snaps, as Baltimore lined up three wide a fair amount. Terrance West continues to hold the lead back roles, rushing for 46% of his 50 snaps this week.

With the Steve Smith injury, we saw Breshad Perriman play 35 snaps. Perriman and Mike Wallace would be the go-to guys moving forward. We also saw Kamar Aiken come up and get a bump in snaps. Kenneth Dixon made his debut, but didn't play enough snaps to be relevant. We might not see that happen for a few weeks with Terrence West being efficient.

It was a lot of come from behind time against Oakland, which resulted in Steve Smith and Mike Wallace playing over 80% of the snaps. Breshad Perriman and Kamar Aiken continue to be left on the sidelines for most of the game. It was another running back change for Baltimore, as Terrance West played 39 snaps, and Javorius Allen played 24. Justin Forsett took a seat on the bench.

Steve Smith only played 60% of the snaps, but still led the team in targets. No worries with him, and you have to expect this type of workload when you are his age. Dennis Pitta bumped up targets as well. Justin Forsett continues to build his workload, and played 64% of the snaps this weekend.

Mike Wallace played as many snaps as Steve Smith did this week, as the two are packing the one-two punch for Baltimore. We also saw a healthy Dennis Pitta log 60% of the snaps. He was Flacco's favorite weapon on Sunday, as they relied on the passing game.

Kamar Aiken, Mike Wallace, and Steve Smith were the heaviest used wide receivers, playing over 60% of the snaps. Breshad Perriman saw just 31%. No wide receiver played over 70% of the snaps, which is a bit of an issue, but might be expected given the situation. Justin Forsett saw just four more snaps than Terrance West, as this backfield continues to be a mess.

Baltimore Ravens Snap Count Breakdown

Baltimore was decimated with injuries in 2015, and will look to regroup in the new season. Joe Flacco played just 63% of the snaps due to injury last season, and will come into 2016 looking to be above the 95% mark. The core around him is going to keep many of us tuned in. Steve Smith is returning in 2016, after tearing his achilles in 2015. He is expected to lead the receivers in snaps, after just being on the field for 30% of them last year. The WR2 spot is going to be a battle between Kamar Aiken, who was on the field for 82% of the snaps in 2015. He benefitted from the injuries, as Breshad Perriman sat out all of last season. He is on track to be a threat in 2016, and was highly touted as a possible WR2 last year. With that being said Chris Givens, who saw 39% of the snaps last season should take a back seat. Baltimore also added Benjamin Watson out of New Orleans, which now crowds the tight end position in Baltimore. Maxx Williams and Crockett Gillmore both saw right around 45% of the targets, and it could be pretty split again.

It was the latter half of the season where Justin Forsett owners were a little bit frustrated, as he fractured his forearm. Forsett was fairly average when on the field, which was just 42% of the snaps in 2015. Javorius Allen was second, on the field for 35% of the snaps. Kenneth Dixon was drafted in the fourth-round, and is expected to really compete with Allen and Forsett. It would not surprise me to see all three cut into each other's workload, and possibly be a hot-hand situation. It is not what you want to hear for a fantasy backfield, but unfortunately that could be the case.
