Jimmy_22 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Just asking.... I think there are better options, but doing a sanity check to see if others are benching him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osu1322 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 unless u picked up one of the RB that have recent upswing (like Payton Hillis) or have him in a flex position where u think a WR is posied to have a big game. Otherwise most owner would have to start him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I just picked him up in a trade this week and am starting Hillis and Torain over him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUMbotron Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 During bye weeks I can't imagine anyone benching Ray Rice unless they are in a 8-team league loaded with big bullets. But essentially I don't think he's a must-start. Touchdowns pay the bills, and he doesn't acquire many of those. He will get rolling though, and his schedule loosens up nicely: One of the 9 easiest fantasy RB schedules going forward, after this Denver game is past him.

Bizarro Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm in PPR so the lack of TD's was not a major factor last year. However, this year is playing out different, so I am strongly debating sitting him at least one more week and seeing how it plays out. Of course that depends on your options. I myself may roll with Torain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will get rolling though, and his schedule loosens up nicely: One of the 9 easiest fantasy RB schedules going forward, after this Denver game is past him. And three of those have had bye weeks whereas Rice has not, so it's actually top 6 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big F'n Dave Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I'm starting him. But in the interest of full disclosure, my team f'n sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_22 Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 He was money last year when he was catching balls out of the backfield and rolling down field. That isn't happening thus far. That, and the knee, and McGahee taking the goal line stuff - he's a situational player until proven otherwise, IMO. I'm rolling with Torain this week....

flemingd Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 With Torain and Addai as options I'm in a similar position. These decisions are what FF is all about thogh, and they separate the men from the boys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rellen13 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Starting Charles and Hillis (even with the bad wheel) over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montster Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 TD Rice. (I will add that of course he scores his first TD of the season when I'm playing against him.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke davenport Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Short answer to initial question: Yes. Especially given his schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowboutthemCowboys Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 like I said... FF is becoming nothing but guesswork. Seriously considering dumping all but $25 leagues next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 FF is becoming nothing but guesswork. Seriously considering dumping all but $25 leagues next year you know it's rough when Muto doesn't have a league to brag about....and when you're in 20 different "high stakes leagues" you're bound to do well in at least one of them...
