Kyle Juszczyk
RB SF (14)
Juszczyk may take on a bigger role in the offense now that tight end Dennis Pitta (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of the season, the Ravens' official website reports.
Listed as the team's starting fullback, Juszczyk mostly played tight end and H-back in college at Harvard. He's 6-1 and not particularly dangerous with the ball, but his speed, route running and hands are all surprisingly excellent for a player listed as a fullback. While still unlikely to emerge as a fantasy option in most leagues, Juszczyk did catch 3-of-4 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns. TE Owen Daniels gets the major stock boost from Pitta's injury, but Juszczyk and backup TE Crockett Gillmore also figure to log extra snaps. Juszczyk was a non-factor in the Baltimore offense as a rookie, after getting selected in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
