Running Back Rank: #39
Overall: #94
McGahee suffered a scary hit in his last playoff game and had to be carted off the field to end the season. But his injury wasn't considered serious and he should be fine for the start of the coming season. McGahee was slowed by a knee injury much of the season, though. He had fewer than double-digit carries in six of his last seven games. But for the season, he still had three 100-yard games and seven touchdowns. He is likely the most talented of the Ravens backs, but has two other backs to compete with for playing time and hasn't stayed too healthy the last few seasons. This could be a make or break year for McGahee. He is a powerful back with plus-speed and the ability to make a big play on the outside. He also is a decent receiver, catching 67 passes the past two seasons. McGahee did have surgery on both his knee and ankle during the offseason, which is a concern going forward.

All the competition at running back is a concern, but McGahee is a good buy-low candidate. He can improve on last season and surprise if healthy and getting the chances in the Ravens run-heavy offense. Take him as a No. 3 back, but don't be surprised if you can use him as your No. 2 throughout the season. He has upside. |
