The Baltimore Ravens are ready to roll. John Harbaugh had a lot of time to rest his players and prepare schemes for this divisional matchup against the Houston Texans. They will need a tough defense to close out and knock the wind off CJ Stroud. Moreover, a gun-slinging offense is necessary for them to outscore their NFL Playoffs opponents. Dalvin Cook clearly has a plan on the ground to help the Lamar Jackson-led squad, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.

“I’m not looking forward to a role or anything. They call the No. 31, I’m going to be out. So whatever my role is, whatever they call upon me, they’ll get 1000% percent out of Dalvin,” the Ravens running back declared.Dalvin Cook, Jets, Ravens coach, John Harbaugh, Ravens

John Harbaugh has stated that Dalvin Cook will be of value to them heading into the NFL Playoffs. Now, this does not guarantee that he will play against the Texans. But, if the Ravens do choose to play him, there will be huge expectations for their rushing attacks.

What will the Ravens’ production look like with Cook?

So far, Gus Edwards has been the leading running back for the Ravens. In their game against the Miami Dolphins where their squad was complete, Edwards had 16 carries which got them 68 rushing yards and a touchdown. Since then, Melvin Gordon III has been waived which means an opportunity has opened up for Cook in the Ravens rotation.
