Shorttynaz Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) I'm starting Ricky Williams over Ray Rice. Rice is playing Pittsburgh where Williams is playing Buffalo Edited November 27, 2009 by Shorttynaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I thought about it, but Rice gets his when he plays good D's. Maybe his running yardage drops, but his PPR seems to pick up. I'm not benching him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MustOfBeenDrunk Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Benching him in one league for Ricky Williams & Steve Jackson Playing him in another league with no other option because of losing Westy & Ronnie Brown (Rice & Slaton is all I have left) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub! Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I am benching him the league where I can afford to. In that league, I have C. Johnson, Gore, Addai, McCoy, and Rice. Starting Addai and Johnson. (I should have traded some of this RB depth out, lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorttynaz Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Don't get me wrong. I really want to start him, but my 2 weekly RBs are AP and MJD. I usually start Rice @ flex, but I like Williams chances again this week - a little more than I like Rice's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawks21 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If I had Ricky I'd probably start him over Rice, but not many of us have a top-7 back as our backup. I thought a little bit about starting Moreno in his place, but as mentioned, because of his receiving ability, Rice has been immune to having bad games.

TDFFFreak Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I want Rice in my line up because whenever the Ravens get into the red zone, they seem to give Rice a shot at scoring the TD. That's enough for me to make him an every week starter in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I'm starting Ricky instead, a much better matchup. I'm also starting Snelling in another league over him. However, if Turner is actually playing, I will be starting Rice for sure. I think Rice does "ok" but not great against a stout Pitt D. I'll kick myself in the teeth if he blows up, but I just don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that depends on the 150. 150 of what? ADP, Drew and Johnson all went in the 1st round of each my leagues. Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasyDream Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Race rice gets the carries and you'll see a ton of screens from baltimore, i'm a steelers home but the ravens are going to do some work on sunday I guess that depends on the 150. 150 of what?

What, is it St Edna's Elementary School for the Retarded Open FF League or something? There's no way on God's planet that those three are in the same team if the other owners have even two functioning brain cells. Nor is anyone in their right mind trading any of them, certainly not to an owner who already owns at least one.

Nor is anyone in their right mind trading any of them, certainly not to an owner who already owns at least one. I beg to differ. I'm in a legit 10 team PPR league. I drafted AP with the #1 overall pick. I took R Rice in the 6th round. In week 3, I traded K Smith and G Jennings for MJD - BUT the owner was trying to give me Chris Johnson instead of MJD. So, I could have had the 3 of them as well. And in week 5 I picked Williams up from waivers. So it is possible - and it was legit. I actually had a few people in my league telling me that I gave up too much to get MJD at the time..

They gave it to McGahee 3 straight times and he didn't get in.. Harbaugh has done this most of the season.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
