Favre4ever Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I kinda wonder if he's the first round bust this year...He really had a great second half but is it enough to make you a top 4 pick? I don't think so but anyone got any insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) No, nobody has any insight here, just opinions he da man. I would've rather had him than Drew who I got and who I fear will break down as my RBs inevitably do. Edited August 27, 2010 by BeeR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favre4ever Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 I just hope he's not the next Forte..That is if I draft him but I doubt I will.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorttynaz Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I just hope he's not the next Forte..That is if I draft him but I doubt I will.. Difference is, the Ravens actually have a QB and a few good WRs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackass Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 i think he's overhyped. i would take him around 6 or 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I like him over MJD....he's my 3rd in a PPR... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 If (yeah if ifs were 5ths, I know) he can stay healthy I don't know how he doesn't finish top 3 in RB scoring, maybe even 1st in PPR leagues. His only draw back is losing goaline carries to McGahee. That being said we thought that last year of CJ2K, too. I know White getting hurt helped Johnson, but when a coach realizes the real level of talent he has they apply it appropriately. I think Harbaugh realized what he has late last year.

rushraider Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 You guys like him over MJD and Gore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteteacher2001 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I am having this dilemma as I have the third pick in a non ppr league. I really like MJD but think Rice has a TON of upside as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qball86 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I have the 2 pick in a ppr tonight and still don't know if I take RR over AP or not. Of course that assumes CJ goes 1 and rumor has it the owner is thinking RR at 1. APs amount of work in the last few years worries me a bit.

forever in debt to mo lewis Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 if i pull the 4 in non ppr...im probably taking turner over ray.......but the guy is nice....i remember last year i won a game, starting flacco as my qb, cause rice turned a screen that looked like it was going nowhere into like a 60 yard td....think it was against the bengals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Stanky Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 In a PPR league I can't see him being less than top 5, barring injury of course. I actually think he will end the season as the #1 PPR back. He didn't start going crazy until about midseason. Also, there's rumors of McGahee being on the block, and with the issues that Balt has at CB I could see them trading him for a quality CB. If that happens Rice's stock soars.

Seahawks21 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I dunno. There were a lot of games last year where he was a play or two away from having an absolute stinker. He would have like 20 total yards in the first half, and then come out with boom, boom, boom plays for 10-15 yards a pop, score a TD, then all of a sudden he is having a good day. However, there were more than a few moments last year where it was like, ok Baltimore, get this guy goin' a little bit. It isn't like he is going to run for 120+ very often, so if they go away from him some in the passing game, and lean more on the WR's, it could hurt his numbers quite a bit. Not saying it will happen, but it isn't like he is risk-free, even if healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
