Ravens RB Lorenzo Taliaferro placed on IR with sprained foot
Rookie running back Lorenzo Taliaferro was placed on season-ending injured reserve by Baltimore Tuesday, due to a sprained foot. The Ravens' runner had a small amount of success for the team that cut lead running back, Ray Rice, after a media firestorm around a domestic violence case involving him and his then-fiancee, now wife, Janay.Justin Forsett took emerged as the best running back in Gary Kubiak's offense and manned the starting role for most of the 2014 season. Taliaferro 292 yards on 68 carries and managed four touchdowns in a backup role.
Forsett had a career-year in 2014, emerging as a top 10 fantasy RB in PPR leagues. However, at 29 years-old, he's not likely in the Ravens' long-term plans. At just 22 years-old, the Ravens' 2014 fourth-round pick, Taliaferro, could very well emerge as the lead dog in Baltimore in 2015. He's got more upside than Bernard Pierce and is definitely worth keeping an eye on in dynasty leagues and also in 2015 re-drafts.
